What Are You Grateful For?

I have spent the last 5 days crafting--and have made over 50 projects!!!

I love being surrounded by fabric and lace and images....(These images here are from Dezinaworld!)

I wanted to show you this collage that I made for a friend of mine...It was created from a vintage book cover...and I think it exudes so much peace and serenity....(I'm not sure where this image is from.)


I am grateful for wonderful friends and to have the ability to share so much with all of you, whether it's our love of art or personal stories--You all bring so much to my life. So, this post comes with a big THANK YOU to all of you~

So, as we approach this season of blessings, could you tell me one thing that you are grateful for? It would be wonderful to read about your blessings.

Also, I have gotten emails about how many of you are enjoying the Angel Seminar that is posted at the top of my blog--I hope it is really helpful~it was a joy to create.

XO
Cindy

Cindy Adkins said...

Oh Cindy, that collage is so beautiful ~ and you're right, it exudes so much peace! I love the tag that says "know." I have many blessings, but I think tonight I feel most grateful for being healthy ~ which is something we often take for granted, until something happens. Blessings to you, my friend!
Hugs, Cindy

Gina said...

You have certainly been a busy bee!

I know it may seem a typical response, but I am most thankful for my family. There are times when they may drive me nuts, but I wouldn't want to live life without any of them.

Linda said...

Hello Cindy
I have just visited your Angel Seminar, it made me realise how grateful I am to be happy with my life, even though I have a muscle problem which causes me to fall often, I cope because I think about the positives, I have two healthy daughters and a beautiful grand-daughter,they are my reasons to be thankful,and to top it off I have a caring husband, who thinks the world of me, so if some days I do not feel good, I just sit and think about what I do have and it always brings a smile to my face.
Thank you for allowing me to express my feelings I do not do it enough.
Smiles:)

Cindy, your creations are so beautiful. I cried when I saw the one with Mary and the Sacred Heart...so beautiful! I collect religious artifacts and have an altar in my home. I am grateful for feeling well today and being able to go to work. Grateful for small blessings and for friends who are a blessing, like you.
love to you,

Donna said...

Wow, you are really on a creative roll, Cindy! I love all of your beautiful creations, the images and embellishments you use are always so pretty! I'm grateful for so many things. I'm thankful that we live in such a gorgeous place, with lots of wildlife, the ocean, snow covered mountains, and sea creatures. It truly is a little slice of paradise!

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces said...

Lovely, Cindy! I am grateful for all the wonderful family times we've had this year, that my children all have good jobs, and that another grandchild is expected in the spring!

Unknown said...

Cindy, I am thankful for my Daddy. He has terminal colon cancer. Each moment that I spend with him is precious. I live 5 hrs. from my parents, traveling I-20 every 3 or so weeks from AL to LA. SO this Thanksgiving will be bitter sweet. I pray for miracles & that God will have mercy. I can definitely say with no doubt that I have a wonderful Father and I love him very much. Tiffany

Blessings,

Hello Cindy,
You are ALWAYS so busy....how do you find the time?

I a mostly thankful for being able to walk, talk and see. Even though as I get older it is harder to do those things :-)

Hope you are doing well and your husband also
Haven't been online very much and miss seeing how everyone is especially you my friend!!

Carol Salisbury said...

Oh Cindy, I'm sorry, it's been a long day! I did receive the tag you sent. It got here today! I promptly put it right on the shelf in my scrap room. It's very pretty! It may find its way onto the Christmas tree this year. I want the stamp that you used on the seam binding. I love how thin and delicate the script is.
Thank you very much!
Hugs!
Carol

Creative Grammie said...

Aloha Cindy,
Wow! You've made some gorgeous tags, so very creative! You know, what's so ironic, I've just spent this entire day making over 2 dozen tag kits for a tag party coming this Sunday.
There are so many things that I'm grateful for, so to start, just a few things. I'm so grateful to have a wonderful family. I'm grateful for the friends that I have, friends that I blog with and friends that I craft with.
Of course dear Cindy, I'm grateful to have found your blog, grateful that we have become friends. You have been a wonderful inspiration to me and for that I'm grateful.
Warm hugs to you.

Cindy said...

Cindy you have been so busy, I need to stay and catch up on your blog. What I am grateful for the most is becoming best friends with my Mom since my Dad passed away a couple of years ago. A reminder at how precious people are, you being one of them. hugs.

Gaby Bee said...

WOW, you are one busy bee, how do you find the time? I'm still trying to get figure out a way to grow more hours in a day. I've never enough time, to do all that I want to do...lol.

Donna said...

Oh, Cindy,

Fabulous creations! There are so many things to be grateful for, but first on my list, and you asked for the one thing (which is so hard!) - is LOVE. Not just the love of others, but the love I have for others, and this comes only from the love I receive from Jesus Christ! Every morning I wake up and thank God for His love for my life, for this day to serve Him - for others to feel His love for them through me, and I through them!

Thank you so much for helping me think about all that means so much to me.

You're an Angel, my friend, and I'm very grateful to feel His love through you!

Blessings,
Donna

Char said...

Hi Cindy,
you have been so busy creating beautiful treasures.
I used to say that I was grateful if I could get up in the morning and remember my name, breathe on my own and function without help. HA!!
That is still true, but I am so grateful for blogging friends like you. I feel so blessed to be here, loved by God and family.
You are the best Cindy,
Char

Cindy Adkins said...

Hello again Cindy,
I just went through your comments, reading what everyone is thankful for and it's so inspirational! It made me realize I'm grateful for the internet! Without it, I wouldn't have my job, wouldn't have my blog, and wouldn't have met so many wonderful people, including YOU! How else would we have ever known we had a "twin" out there? LOL! Hugs and love,
Cindy

Linda said...

Hi Cindy,

Just wanted you to know I loved the book! I bought it tonight and read it all the way through. It was uplifting to read each story. The book gave me hope and peace. Thanks again! I am giving my daughter Tara and my grand angel Nayla this book for Christmas for their kndles.
Hugs from me!
Linda

Cindy, you are amazing, 50 projects in 5 days? I'd be thrilled to bits to get 5 done in 5 days, lol.
