Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the simple message of thankfulness, and the focus on family and friends that make your life special. I love the focus on food, and the deeply satisfying aspect of dining with people you love. I spend the whole month of November forcing my kids to write a "thankful" each day (we read them all at the end of the month), and I personally love the ritual of focusing in on the things you are truly grateful, however small.
I digress though. Really, the purpose of this post was that I went to snap a picture of my thanksgiving table and the finished product of my creative vision (this is a picture of one of the
two tables - 20 people in total). I immediately wanted to share the picture with someone, and the first person that popped into my mind was Amanda. She's been my creative partner for so many years, and the fact that she can hear me talking about painting acorns and making hand made placemats and NOT think I'm nearly as annoying as most people do, is an amazing gift. She's a super artistic and creative person, so she is totally fine geeking out with me on colors, fabric, pinterest ideas, pretty much any art or design project. Anyway, this is all to say that today i took more than a moment to reflect on my gratitude for Amanda, and our friendship and partnership through the years on so many different creative projects.
Hope everyone out there is taking time to love on all the people in their life to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!
