What are you grateful for this Thanksgiving?
Me, I have so very much to be grateful for. Even on my darkest days I am conscious of what a lucky, lucky life I lead and so very thankful that that's the case.
One of the things that brings me joy every single day is this blog. And so today I say thank YOU for reading, thank YOU for leaving comments, thank YOU for writing to tell me how much you enjoy the blog. I am very grateful.
And to say thank you, I've got a little gift for you: If you'd like to download a printable copy of the "Happy Thanksgiving" doodle I drew, you can do so right here.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Julie. Among many other blessings, I am thankful to be connected to people who share the same passion. I can’t imagine a life without creating something every day. I am grateful for your very creative, open-hearted and inspiring blog. I hope to take classes with you again, too. Also, can you please me tell me if your show is back on TV, the name of it and the channel?

Julie, I’m grateful for the class I took with you on rubber stamp making this summer and for your incredible generosity of spirit. You make an easy bridge for those who are just starting out on the art-making journey… something about your style makes a convincing case that, yes, I can do it, too. Be well and Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I enjoy your blog and am thankful that you are able to do so much sharing with all of us. I have to confess that I’m a little jealous, but mostly happy for you that you are going to spend time with Emily and Ronda. They are two really special ladies and I very much enjoy the time I’m bless to spend with them. Give them a hug for me! Happy Thanksgiving!

I enjoy my scrappy buddies and I start each day reading your post…thanks for the inspiration on a daily basis Julie. I’m sure that you are trying to stay out of trouble in Germany with Nat. Thank you for the festive doodle as well.

Happy Thanksgiving to you also Julie. I am presently in your 30 day class and can’t wait to wake up every morning to see what we are going to do. I love your process of 10 minutes a day or so because it allows me to finish my pages. I have a busy, busy life but love to journal. Thank you so much for all you do. !!

I met you through The Ink Pad and loved taking your courses this year in their store and at Westbeth; I really like the therapeutic value of being in class. Your encouraging words and open mind have helped me see so much more than I did a year ago. Thank goodness for the entire Ink Pad community of amazing artists and the safe haven you created with ’em. I have breakfast with your blog every day and love the sense that I’m getting “the inside scoop” from you (NB: the blog hops are great, and your stories of classes you’ve taken are wonderful). Thank you thank you thank you for all of this experience.

Thank YOU, Julie, for being so generous in sharing what you know with others. I’ve learned so much from your tutorials, and because of the recent stenciling one, I actually had the courage to buy & play with my first stencil (Crafter’s Workshop 6″ Flurries) the other night. That’s HUGE for me to even TRY something, so thank you very much! Many blessings to you!
