This Thansgiving I was thankful for... ...a new Dawn

...reflection...

thankful for..a perfect balance...

for...being together.....

for...a new road,though it may be filled with twigs and branches...

thankful for...another day.

"Friend, what are you waiting for?
The bright moon shines above us.
There are no clouds tonight.
Why bother to ask about lamps and fire?
Why talk about cooking dinner?
Who is searching and who is finding?
Let us just enjoy the moon, all night."

"Fall Moon Festival" by Thich Nhat Hanh

Some new listings for tonight.The first a new Resin filled Pendent.It's filled with a reprint photo,watch pieces,crystal,micro beads and sticker.

A new Christmas inspired Felt book.This four panel book is full of premium paper,vintage reprints,chip board,Brads,crystals and more.Thanks for taking the time to visit today!!Cat

Its easy to imagine being so small in the nature of things.Painful even,to believe that our lives contribute so little in the timeline of humanity.And so today,I choose to make it matter,to make each day count,more than the last,and to never,ever forget to be thankful for another day.

I see faces around me growing older and wiser.Soon to be but a ache in a loved ones heart and a question will arise and be heard with a whisper in the wind,....What will I be remembered for?

It's reality to be reminded of our insignificance.To be reminded that each day that passes,is a opportunity lost,a gift given,a blessing.In the daily world of to-do's I loose myself in task,forgetting to...look up..breathe in...kiss more...laugh loud..hold hands...show kindness...but with my heart open I learn again.

Today I make a choice..what about you?

We have a winner!!!!!!Congrats to Norma Jean Adams!!!Norma posted:

"I am grateful for the gift of prayer. A sweet communion and connection with God, who is hoping and waiting to hear from us!"

I managed to squeak out some new listings for tonight.The first a mini altered wooden block named "Dec 25th".It measures approx 5 1/2" and I also used premium paper,rub-ons,wire,stickers,glitter and beads.

This piece was originally selling on Etsy as a necklace.I think its better suited as a ornament,

since I used

the bottom part of the tin.
I used stickers,

chipboard,metal

charm,beads,

and Swarovski

crystals.Most

of it is encased

in the resin

except for

the metal

charm and

beads on

the bottom.

Two new Gratitude Journal.The first "Embracing Change" &

"Simply

Delightful"

I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what to do with the other half of those mint tins I use to make the resin necklaces.The are too deep to make necklaces and so at last I figured it out.Ornaments!!Inspired by the same wonderful images,I created these mini window shadow box tins.I also used premium paper,chipboard,metal frames,transparency,glitter and swarovski crystals.

At Last the Breeze.We have been without it for some time now.I am so grateful to feel its arms around me once again.It rejuvenates me,comforts me,awakens my soul.

I've received so many messages about where the first song on my playlist is from and so if you don't already know,I simply love Jane Austen's books and the movies made by her books.The first song comes from the last film version of "Pride and Prejudice" starring Kiera Nightly and Mathew Mcfadden. The scene below,my favorite.It has it all,the scenery,the rain,the love,the hate,...the words.(You can lower the volume on the playlist,on the bottom of the page, if it starts to get to annoying while you sit back and watch.)
