Hi Jelveh,
I have been so blessed in my life it is hard to know where to start with my thankfulness. I guess that my most precious gifts are my wonderful, supportive, and always there for me husband and my two great boys. They have added so much to my life that I'm just amazed at how I made it the first part of my life without them. I'm also thankful for:
special friends
God's beautiful artwork that is everywhere around me
Living in Colorado
Beading
The internet that allows me to connect with great artists like yourself so that I may enjoy the beautiful things you creat
Have a lovely weekend!
Shana
Shana, I love colorado too, used to live there in another life time, many years ago...
have a great holiday...

Hi Jelveh,
I'm in the SF bay area and it's raining here today which is great since we need it! I'm going to spend Thanksgiving day taking care of lots of cats for petsitting clients who are out of town. I will take a break to have dinner with close friends and my husband. I'm thankful for my great friends, my two sisters with whom I'm close, and my love for animals!
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Hi Jelveh,
I am thankful for family, friends, God's blessings, and His beautiful creation. Even with the current turmoil, America is a truely great place to live. It is fun to see you enjoying our heritage there in England. The Brits did so much around the world in their "glory days" and most of the good influences remain.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Sue
Hi Jelveh,
Wow...so much to be thankful for. My wonderful husband of 43 yrs. (Tomorrow...Thanksgiving.. will be our anniversary :o), 3 wonderful children and 6 precious grandchildren ages 2-7 (with one more on the way!!!) We are blessed with good health and great friends as well.
Speaking of family...all ours live withing 15 minutes from us, so we will be celebrating at our daughters home. There will be 19 of us (we always have a couple of extras like the elderly gentleman who is in a wheelchair that we befriended at the nursing home my mother was in the last year of her life.) His family just dumped him there about 8 yrs. ago, so we have adopted him into our family. I am thankful that could never happen in our family.
Hope your Thanksgiving is great.
Sandi from TX!
hi jelveh, wow, drop dead gorgeous bead! i am very thankful that i can still walk. i have a tumor in my spine that is slowly destroying nerves from the waist down. i also have a loving family that i am so thankful for. thanks for asking, lisa d., portland, oregon.
Hey Sue, its fun being here in
England, specially now after we elected President Obama, it was a bit dodgy to say "I am an American" before that...mostly the Brits are very nice however, and I am starting to sound like them a bit...which is funny, I had friend from Texas for a while in San Diego, by the end of the first week of hanging out with her, I sounded like I was born in Texas...
anyway happy thanksgiving girl...
Jelveh

Hi Sandi, sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun at your Thanksgiving gathering...you are all very kind people...its all about love after all...
Jelveh

Lisa girl, I am so glad that you are still ok with the walking too, I know we have talked about this before...I hope you have a great Thanksgiving too...thanks for all the love...

Its a gorgeous day here in Sunny Florida with just a bit of a chill. I'm going to my daughters house, which is just a few blocks away. My son is also coming and my 6 grandchildren will be there also. I still have to bake the turkey and dressing. I'm so Blessed to serve a Mighty God.. My husband is the best and my children and grandchildren. We are Blessed to live in America. I'm blessed to have wonderful friends. I'm just Blessed. As Always you are a Blessing Carolyn
Thankful for so much! My MIL has bone cancer and I am so thankful that all of her 6 kids with families were all able to visit for this Thanksgiving. Aside from this and all the other things that most of us are thankful for, I am very thankful that my 15 year old son is such a good driver to drive all of us the 1.5 hours there and back safely. :o) -Lisa
Beautiful bead!
We are thankful that our daughter is finally legally ours now; we've been in process to adopt her for 2 1/2 years! We spent Thanksgiving here in Guatemala.
Hi Jelveh,
I just received my winning bead in the mail and I love it! I just realized last night from your blog, that I had won it. Thank you so much (and thank hubby for drawing my name!). I can't wait to make it into something to wear!
What am I thankful for at this moment?? YOU! :)
Name that bead:
"Milla Antigua"
Because today I read about an ancient insect fossil. And your bead made me think @ an ancient millipod!
Hugs, Randi
