Happy Thanksgiving

November 22, 2012 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m just about ready to sign off for the holiday, but before I do I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating today! I hope that your holiday is filled with fun festivities and, of course, much tasty food. I’m already thinking about the slice of pumpkin pie that I’ll be having later today … mmm, I love pumpkin pie.

If you’re traveling over the holiday, or if you’re braving the Black Friday crowds tomorrow, stay safe. I’ll see you back here on Friday with my Weekly Wrap, as well as a bunch of new sales and deals!

The lovely letterpress Thanksgiving card shown above is from Inkadinkadoodle.
