This is the first of the two page spread. Lucky...I feel lucky to have these two guys in my life. The shamrocks were cut out with sizzix. (On the light green paper). Then the shamrocks were chalked and pop dotted. The light green paper was sewn to the bottom of the page. The leprechaum is a paper piecing I designed because I couldn't find what I wanted.


This is page two of my two page spread...this is my Grandson. He uses his Charm on us to get what he wants. The paper was cut with scissors to fit the matted picture so that the paper could still show. Charming was cut with cricut and stamped with green ink pad then added stickles.

Blessing Bags Recipe


Blessing Mix

The Bugles are a symbol of the Cornucopia, a horn of plenty.

The Pretzels represents arms folded in thanks and prayer.

The Candy Corn reminds us that during the first winter, the pilgrims were allowed only five kernels of corn per day because food was so scarce.

The Fruit is a reminder that Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.

The Peanuts represent seeds, the potential of the bounteous harvest for the the next season if they are planted and well-tended.
