The Giving Tree + Black Friday Deals

For Steals & Deals scroll to the bottom.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!  Hope you are enjoying the day with ones you love.  On this day I am grateful for so many things, but especially you!  Did you know you are a blessing to me, dear blog reader?  If not for you I wouldn't have a reason to create cards every week and post them online or do videos.  It's been such a fun ride sharing my creativity with you.  Thank you!

Did you know I am the challenge creator for StampNation?  Yep, those weekly challenges that go up are my responsibility to create.  Hopefully you enjoy them as much I enjoy creating them for you.  Anywho, the challenge this week was one I made for September.  I thought it would be a fabulous "back to school" theme, but it got pushed back to November because of the awesome impromptu coloring class that Allison Cope offered us.  It's still a great challenge to inspire you in a completely unique way.


It was hard to narrow this down to one book, so I picked the book that has a particularly fond childhood memory.  My mom was a preschool teacher when I was little.  When it was her turn to watch the kids at nap time she would read often read us "The Giving Tree" by .  She would cry everytime.  It still gets me now.  


You can read more about this book here.  It may seem like an odd challenge for Thanksgiving week in the USA, but we have members from around the world, and it worked out to be the perfect week for the book I chose.  ;)  



I'm so inspired by this challenge that I have several more cards in mind for books like Goodnight Moon, I Know Where the Wild Things Are, Little House on the Prarie and so many more!  I think I do a card a day for a year with all the inspiration this challenge brings.  If you are a StampNation member be sure and clicky to see what everyone has created so far!

Speaking of StampNation, the creator of this awesome site, Catherine Pooler, is having an extra special ANTI-Black Friday special for her newsletter subscribers.  You do not want to miss this FREEBIE to help you out, plus she might throw in an extra somethin' somethin'.  You never know.  :)  Clicky to learn more.
