thanks(giving) blog hop...

hello and welcome to the thanks(giving) blog hop with a few {ippity} chicks!!  thanksgiving is a great time of year...it usually marks the beginning of the holiday season.  it's also a time to think about all we are thankful for.  what a great time to have a blog hop centered around giving thanks and thanksgiving!  so pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage, and hop through the blogs!

i will be giving away one of the new {ippity} kits to a random peep, so don't forget to leave a comment (winner will be picked on 11/25!).  some of the other chicks are also giving away blog candy, too, so comment along the hop!! 

a craftie from work was making some cute cards one day and she was using burlap on them.  i loved the idea so i wanted to try it.  i got light colored burlap and inked the edges with some distress ink.  love the burlap!


thanks and gratitude
