Cards on Mondays!

Whew! Holidays always go way quicker than you expect. We just sent off the grandparents back to the warm weather of Florida this morning. I am beyond stuffed from all the great food this past few days plus my fridge is stocked full of great leftovers for this week. Score!

Did you guys get any great deals on Black Friday shopping? We skipped it all together and didn't head out until after it all settled down later that day. Too many Black Friday's working at the mall (pre-scrapbooking days) so I avoid it like the plague. 

We are back into the swing of things here and have a few cards to share with you from the Design Team.

Enjoy!

Old World Cabbage

Soup Staples

Atomic Soup

Pasta Fagioli

Christmas Chesnut Soup

I'll even throw in some Corrugated Alphas, Alphabeans, Coordinating Stickers, Baker's Twine, Corrugated Shapes and Sugar Picks.

Now that's HUGE!!!!!   What an AMAZING Prize Pack!  All because I'm THANKFUL!  THANKFUL for all of YOU who support Jillibean Soup!!!! 

So what do you need to do?  Just leave a comment below...anything will do, leave a comment about your day today, what you love about life, what you had for breakfast, what you named your first kid...whatever you want.

When you get a minute, Lillian, can you send your information to jill@jillibean-soup.com so I can get your info out to you?

Thank you everyone for your great comments.  It's always a nice reminder to have to actually "write down" what we are thankful for.  Most days I know I take it for granted everything we have.  Blessings to all of you this Thanksgiving weekend.

Day 10 is a little late...I've been helping my brother sell Christmas trees at his tree farm in PA.  Fun day today.  I'll post Day 10 next. ;)

Day 9 of our 10 DAYS of GIVEAWAYS!!!!!

This will be the last of the Unity/Jillibean sets that we giveaway...

Countdown to Christmas!  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the states.  Thanksgiving used to mark the countdown to Christmas but it seems to have been taken over by all the department store craziness and their need to put Christmas on the shelves in October!  Anyhow, let's make this simple...thankgiving = thankfulness. 

What are you thankful for this holiday season? 

Leave a comment.  I'll pick a winner tomorrow night (or if my belly's too full, Friday morning ;)). 

Good Luck!

Jill
