Hi again! It's Thanksgiving week and I'm grocery shopping and cleaning house and setting out some Thanksgiving decor. Our son will be here to visit through the weekend and I like it to be homey. Speaking of homey, the Peace on Earth mood board is just about the cutest, most homey looking inspiration I've seen in ages! Have a look:

I just had to play along! My gingerbread couple are a long retired and out of business Die-namites die. The cookies and mug are from a Cottage Cutz set, and the perfect sentiment is retired Power Poppy.
Of course, I had to add the Ric Rac Border. I'm surprised those dies are not worn out yet, I've used them so often over the years. The sparkly gold bow and stars have punched glitter centers for low dimension. Oh, and how about that gingham and polka dot background? I can't help but smile!
Not one bit of anything new was used on this card, just this and that from the toy box. What fun!
Our friends at the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge are celebrating their 100th challenge. Congratulations Diane and Darlene and all the team designers who create such wonderful samples! There are two prize packages kindly being shared, too. The Two D's put an amazing lot of work into the bazillion challenges they run, and I would just like to say "thank you"!
Happy holidays, everyone!

OH WOW ... so glad your son will be home for the weekend!! I'm sure your decorating & cooking will take him back to his childhood! My 'kids' (lol I only have 1 daughter, 2 grand kids & 2 great grandkids ... but they are all 'my kids') are coming to our house for Thanksgiving so yes, lots of cleaning & upcoming cooking at the Pavlick house too.
Your card is DELIGHTFUL!! So many warm memories instilled in this cute creation ... well done my friend!
Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Peace on Earth challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Totally adorable and delicious-looking!! I always love that you use your older things. I still have ALL of my older things, but I keep buying more. I still have stuff from last January that I haven't used!
Your treasures from the toy box are so fun and the card is yummy in every way, Leslie! Oh the gingham goodness and polka dot papers are delightful! So glad you are happily preparing for your son's visit. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
What a lovely project everything is stunningly crafted xx
So adorable Leslie. Polka-dots and gingham ... what could be better for Christmas!! Your gingerbread cookies are so sweet!! Lovely card, my friend! xx
This card screams Christmas! It looks good enough to eat! The Patterned paper and the die cuts all go together so well! So cute!!
This is just as sweet as can be! The rick rack is the icing on the cake, or should I say gingerbread. Pure delight!
