Create a Thanksgiving Keepsake



Don't you love it when you give a friend a little something you've made and she says that she'll keep it forever?  Handmade does equal Joy (squared).  You get the joy of creating and giving and the recipient gets the joy of receiving a handmade goodie that is not only adorable, but YOU made it just for her.   Joy all around, right?  People tend to keep handmade items they receive, so it's joy for years to come.

This little cutie is all ready to give joy to you and someone else.  Download Pilgrim Girl below.   I made five of the gable treat boxes for my friend, Margaret, to give to her friends to show just how thankful she is for them. 




My mom and Margaret also created keepsakes for Louisa.  They both made blankets and Mom also made the darling crocheted hat. 



Here is the farmer card I promised awhile back.  (You can see that post here.)  He's part of an adorable stamp set that is available in my etsy shop.  He did work perfectly with the stitched truck from PTI and he was a lot of fun to color.  Very happy with how it turned out!


You might remember these fun strip paper pumpkins from last year.  You can see just how easy they are to make in THIS post.  I used them for my table place card holders on our Thanksgiving table last year.





You can download the darling Pilgrim Girl HERE.

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people.  When the image appears, wait a moment and a download button will appear in the top right corner.  If download button does not appear, right click on the image and save as.  I'm always happy to email the image to you -  if neither method works!

Enjoy creating this week and spreading joy to people you surprise with your wonderful creations!
