As I sit here and reflect back over the year my family and I have had, we have so much to be thankful for! Yes, we have had challenges, but they are small when compared with those of many of you. Like you, I find a bit of escape from the difficult times and celebrate the wonderful times through my art. I thank you all so much for allowing me to share what I do and for all of you to share a bit of yourselves with me. This year, the world seems a whole lot smaller to me as i have friends around the world! You have come into my life, made me laugh, made me cry, but mostly, you have made me grateful that we live in a time that we can hold hands and share ourselves from every corner of the world!
Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
Laura
With a lump in my throat, thank you!
ReplyDeleteFor your inspiration, friendship and for all the new friends I've made throw knowing you.
Have a wonderful day with your family.
Happy Thanksgiving and I am thankful that you have been so creative and share this with us! Thanks again for all you do!
ReplyDeleteWell just had a bit of a cry at your words, as this is a new turning point for my family and I also. We are closing our craft shop in 3 weeks time, 6 years I had such high hopes, and we have made nothing for ourselves, just made enough to pay the bills, all our savings have gone, but hopefully with our new shop opening in the New Year we will do much better. I have met some lovely people, but have met just a few nasty ones that would take all you have and then stab you in the back. Thank God there isnt many of them around. I hope you recieve many followers as I have you on my website as well as my blog and go on and on about you in the shop to all our customers. Hope you have a wonderful day - you and your family. Thanks for giving us all inspiration, hints, tips and your wonderful personality.
ReplyDeleteVery well spoken Laura.
ReplyDeleteI may not post but I watch all your videos and u-stream classes. Thank you for sharing so much of your self with all of us. Happy Thanksgiving Laura to you and your family. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I'll try to be more verbal in the future. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteRight back at ya Laura. You have changed my crafting and even my scrapbooking ten fold. I have enjoyed watching your videos and chatting with all my new found friends on friday nights. I have enjoyed "meeting" you and your children and feel as though all of you have become part of my life. I even enjoy the fact that I am somewhat poorer for our meeting. I have become on a first name basis with my mailman, the UPS delivery man and yes even the Fed Ex delivery man. I have had to buy new bins and expand my scrap room area from all the new punches and paper etc that I have "had" to purchase. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and your family have a wonderful day. "See" you tomorrow night in class.
Happy Thanksgiving Laura and family
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Laura. Thank you for all the inspiration you've brought into my life. Big hug for you and your family all the way from Mexico. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Laura - to you and all your family! It isn't a big celebration here at this side of the pond - but it is my sisters birthday - so we have always had a reason to cherish the day. Thanks for all your inspiration - Hugs Jen x
ReplyDeleteHappy thanksgiving Laura. I want to thank you for making the videos and Ustreamclasses. I enjoy watching you make all the lovely projects. You inspire me a lot.
ReplyDeleteLaura, you are so sweet. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I'm thankful for your beautiful ideas and patterns. Shari (cricutrookie)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Laura and your family.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that could have been worded more perfectly. You are the one true inspiration for a lot of us and we should be thanking you for your wonderful talent and giant heart. I know for me personally, you have become a very big part of my scrap world. You are the first lady I became addicted to watching and following along. Thank you so much for being who you are! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving! God Bless!!! Schell
ReplyDeleteWell said, Laura!! I feel the same way! I have learned SOOO very much from you. Not only crafting techniques, but also how to remain graceful under fire!! You and your family have been through a lot this year and I hope and pray that there are better days ahead. Special prayers for Sarah as she has her surgery on Tuesday. You have blessed my life beyond measure, and for that I am grateful to you!!!
ReplyDeleteTearful hugs!!!
Linda
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and may you be blessed!
