Give Thanks
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. During this time of the year I often reflect on all of the things I am thankful for. Getting together with family and friends, enjoying the day talking and reflecting over the years is one of my favorite pastimes.
It goes without saying the food is always delicious! One of my favorite dishes at Thanksgiving time is Pomegranate Salad. I will post the recipe for it here tomorrow. Pomegranates are in season during this time of year. This salad is super easy to whip up and compliments the turkey and dressings so well.
A little list of some of the things I am thankful for...

French Framed Collage Heirloom
I made both a framed collage as well as a shadow box curio. Using things that have special meaning to me really personalizes this gift, and will make it special for the person receiving it.
