Cooking With Cricut "Giving Thanks" Blog Hop

Welcome to Musings of a Crafty Mom and the CookingWithCricut.com “Giving Thanks” Blog Hop! 

If you've come from visiting Michelle at Michelle's Crafty Creations, you're in the right place! If you've just happened across my blog and would like to hop along with us, you can go to
CookingWithCricut.com and start at the beginning. 
Today’s hop is all about Thanksgiving decorations – for your home and table.   

Do you ever have one of those weeks . . . you know the kind I'm talking about.  You have an important task to complete and you have everything ready to get busy and get finished early (for a change).  And then one thing happens, and then another, and then yet another and all of a sudden it's Friday --  the end of the week . . . So you know you have to buckle down and get finished -- no interruptions allowed!  Yeah, right!  The phone rings and a family member needs you NOW.   I had one of those weeks, compounded by a fibromyalgia flare up. 

And, darn it, I had some really cute projects to share, too . . .

Table decorations for the kid's table.

So please check back in next week and see my completed projects -- I'm going to try my best to get them finished for Thanksgiving!

Now it's your turn!  Link up your Thanksgiving project at CookingWithCricut.com.  Here are a few guidelines:
  • Must follow the challenge topic and use one of the free files provided at CWC.
  • Must be a NEW project for this challenge.  No back dated posts please.
  • Must have a link back to this post on your blog.
  • Must link your project post through Inlinkz and not just your blog.
  • Must use your Cricut in some capacity.
  • Must HAVE FUN!
  • You may gladly combine challenges . . . we love to pile it on TOO!
The Design Team will pick their three favorites and one lucky person will be chosen randomly to win one of the prizes being offered in this hop. There is also a prize for just leaving us a comment on the CWC blog. One catch, those leaving comments MUST be a CWC follower.  Each prize winner will receive a $10 gift voucher-download from PaperCraftingWorld.com. 

Now head on over to see what Dalis at Stamper Girl has cooked up for you!
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
