Season Greetings and November 22nd Fun Friday Linky Party

Thanks everyone for the browser comments
I did figure out how to post on Chrome
both Chrome and Blogger are google products you would think
that they would work seamless together but alas they don't
I will explain the way it makes sense for me anyways
It's more like an android phone
you have to add blogger to your tool bar as an app and go in from there
that brings up blogger and your list of available blogs

lamp post if from Jolly Holidays
covered with glossy accents
small snowflakes from Martha Stewart all over that page punch
snowflake border from My Craft Spot
Bow and bottom border from My Creative time  
sentiment swirl circle with ornament from Papertrey Ink 
Tag-Its #9 mini stamp set
with a little glossy accents and some crystal glitter

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope Everyone has a wonderful day
and safe passage for everyone that is traveling 



"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 
 It turns what we have into enough, and more. 
 It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  
Gratitude makes sense of our past,
 brings peace for today 
and creates a vision for tomorrow. "
