I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful day and my kids both said that it was the best Thanksgiving ever. I am not sure why they think that, they couldn't even say why, but I must say my turkey was pretty darn good. LOL! Besides all of the cooking I did, I was also able to fit in a little crafting time. I have started working on my Christmas gifts and I am so excited about my plans.
But what I really want to share with you today is something that I made for the Bo Bunny Black Friday Blog Hop. I really love how this turned out. It took some time and patience but I think it was worth it.
After I adhered all of the strips I started decorating my tree with silver tinsel garland and holly leaves punched with a Martha Stewart Christmas punch. The holly berries are actually clear dew drops that I colored red with my Copic Markers.
The top of my tree is decorated with a chipboard star painted silver. I also sprayed the entire tree with Vanilla Smooch Spritz which gives it a beautiful shimmer that you can't really see in the photographs.
Since you have made it all the way down this lengthy post I will now mention that I am giving away a little bit of Bo Bunny to one lucky winner. It is my Black Friday special. You can't get any better than FREE right? Just leave a comment on this post and I will pick a winner Sunday evening, Nov 29th, at 8:00p.m.
Don't stop here though. Make sure you start at Dee's blog and continue through all of the designer's blogs to enter for more fun giveaways as well as the Black Friday Blog Hop prize at the end at the Bo Bunny Blog.
Here is the list if you get lost along the way.
Dee, Christine, Juliana, Sherry, Carole, Patti, Debbie, Rita, Kristen, Julia, Robyn, Tonya...and then back to the BB Blog.
I also want to take a second to thank everyone for stopping by my blog. I am so thankful to have met so many wonderful people through my blog and to be able to share what I love. I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and was able to enjoy themselves with family and friends.
Don't forget to leave a comment. I will be announcing the winner on Monday's post.
