Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us pretty quickly.  And I don't like that so many of the stores are opening on Thanksgiving.  To me, Thanksgiving will always be a day for family, food, and football...and nothing more!  However too many miles will keep me from my sister and brother again this year, so I always try to make a nice card to send.  This year I haven't quite settled on the card yet (I better hurry), but I found another sheet of Sweater Weather DSP that I hadn't tried yet.  This is the card I came up with using that previously un-tried pattern!
