Gratitude

Tis the season.....the Thanksgiving season!  Can't believe that turkey day is just 5 days away.  I just love this vintage photo of a boy and his turkey courtesy of the New York photo archives.  Reminds me that I am thankful for many things....my family and friends, a roof over my head, a place to work and the fact that my turkey comes wrapped in cellophane and I am not the one cooking it this year! 

Mikes dad's family always had a fresh turkey in the barn each Thanksgiving.  His one word of advice was never to name Thanksgiving dinner.  It makes it impossible to eat. I am glad my only decision is fresh or frozen, to brine or not to brine.  Anyway....I have paired my fabulous vintage photo with some new wordart by Studio Unica and some of my Viva Artistry stash which can all be found at Scrapbookgraphics!  Enjoy your turkey dinner.....be it fresh or frozen! 

Best Ever!
