Happy Thanksgiving!

We were invited for a potluck dinner this year for Thanksgiving. You would think that hosting a potluck dinner might be easier than cooking the whole thing yourself, it is actually just as much work. In light of this, I decided to make the hosting family a little gift. I made the candle box and stamped 3 votive candles to go in it. I gave the family the candles stamped with leaves. I was playing with my Cherry Cobbler paper again so I also made a Christmas themed candle set as well.
Since it was a potluck dinner, we brought this delicious Reese's Pieces Cheescake and 2 pumpkin pies. I made this cheesecake using my friend's recipe. Love it! I am so thankful that there was a little left over to put in my freezer. My husband and our children made the pumpkin pies including the pastry from scratch. My husband makes the most amazing crust.
I am thankful for the family and friends that have nearby but I dearly miss those who live far away. You know who you are.
Happy stamping,
