Count Your Blessings!

This time of year, having just celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving and looking forward to American Thanksgiving, it reminds me to count my blessings for which I have many. I have been blessed with four wonderful children, now grown to adults, and six living grand children.  Being a grandma is one of the greatest feelings!

Anyway, here is my card for this week - a cute little mouse from Digital Delights to help us count our many blessings.

Crafty Sewing Mouse Kit

This cute little Crafty Mouse from Digital Delights inspired me to make a sewing kit for my eldest grand daughter (age 9).  She has just started sewing with mom and I knew she would need some supplies.

I made a box (design is from Amazing Paper Grace) and topped it with a see through lid made with Spellbinder dies.  

Inside the box are old wooden spools with a selection of threads, a thimble and safety pins.

 Inside the thread package is a fresh set of sewing needles.
