Give Thanks

Good morning everyone and a special welcome to all my lovely friends and  followers. My post today is to launch a new challenge along at Crafting by Designs and our challenge theme this week is Give Thanks. I know they celebrate this time of year a lot more in the USA but we have to admit it is a glorious time when we see all of the wonderful Autumn colours and they have been especially lovely this year in England after our good warm summer.
We have two sponsors this week for our challenge
