Welcome to the What I Love About
Fall/Halloween Blog Hop. This hop is scheduled from Oct. 7 at 8:00 am
through Oct.8 at 11:00 pm (central time).
If you just happened to come to this blog, you can start at the beginning withj Lisa Peters- http://handmmadewithlove-lisa.blogspot.com/. If you just came from (name of person before you in the lineup) blog, then you are in the right spot.
We're so excited to be doing this hop and we have a fabulous lineup with some very talented ladies. There will be lots of fun projects, along with some great blog candy, and a great grand prize for this hop.
The hop is a 2 day hop so you will have plenty of time to make it through the whole hop lineup twice. Check out each blog and see what blog candy you can win at the individual stops. Please come back both days to see great projects.
Here is the complete lineup:
To be eligible for the grand prize, you must visit each blog and leave a comment. You also MUST visit Lisa's blog and leave a comment for the day and also become a follower at "Scrapping With Lisa" and her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scrapping-with-Lisa/130882060268842. Please let her know if you don't do facebook and she won't count that against you for the blog candy. Now for the blog candy, I bet you are wondering what it could be. It will be a grab bag full of goodies!
I would like to share with you our family's tree of thanks. This has been an annual family tradition for nine years, since our oldest child was two. We have done three-dimensional trees in the past and placed them on the Thanksgiving table, but this year it is a scrapbook page so we can add it to our family's scrapbook easily.
To create our tree and leaves, I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (my favorite!). The clouds in the background are made with silver embossing powder and liquid applique to give the dimension. The year is added with Cork Alphabets. All products are from Close to my Heart.
This isn't a perfectly executed page, but our kids always look back to our thankful trees and remember what life was like at that moment.
All purchases made from my Close to my Heart page support the adoption of Guan Guan. You can read more about his story at www.mamacurls.com.
Your next stop is Jamie at http://myamusinglife.blogspot.com.
Have a great day and please stop back tomorrow for another great project.

April love the family tree and love the very center is God he is the true center of all things family. This is something that can be shared for generations to come and something your grandchildren can incorporate into their lives at thanksgiving to carry on the family tradition.
