Holiday Happiness
This is Arlana posting this week. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving is over and as we get ready to embark upon another holiday, I hope that we can enjoy this special time of year and keep enjoying family, friends, fun and laughter.

 I feel that we have all become great friends on this blog. May you continue to enjoy my sketches. Come here often as we enjoy seeing your sweet creations.

This week I am posting a added give away from my talented daughter who is a professional photographer. I love her work and she is just so incredible. She made this digital card with my sketch and added her texture pack. Her give away will be done separately from mine and will be announced next week.



Hardman Designs offers Texture Packs for photo editing, and digital design.  Amber has been working as a  designer for Photo Prop Floors and Backdrops for almost 2 years. In the last few years, Amber has created textures to use in her design work and her photography, that has set her out ahead of the rest.  Hardman Designs is happy to announce their first texture pack - "Rag A Muffin Textures." This texture pack is perfect for anyone who wants to add a little extra something to their pictures in photo shop or other picture editing software, as well as for the digital design fanatic.

Hardman Designs is excited to give away a free download of their Rag A Muffin Texture Pack that can be seen here:  http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.288644901159365.74579.287025611321294&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=293120724045116&set=a.288644901159365.74579.287025611321294&type=3&theater

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 129-33 Happy Thanksgiving

This is Nancy from the Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team as your host today. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I can't help but think about all of the things that I am blessed with. I hope you will take the time to reflect on your blessing too.
Times are tuff for everyone these days, but if we stop and count our blessing, I think each one of use can find that we are richly blessed.  As I look back over the years, I find that my family is one of my most priceless blessing.  The fond memories that we have shared at Thanksgiving and Christmas mean so much to me,  As do other memoreis that I have gained throughout the years.
Most of us have memories of waking up on Thanksgiving to our mothers busy in the kitchen preparing the turkey or baking pumpkin pies.  The smell from either one of these would make our mouths water.  We could hardly wait until the food was on the table.  Our whole family would gather together and we would stuff ourselves with food until we couldn't eat any more.  I remember saying that "I will never do that again".  The next year would come and we would do that same thing all over again.  Mom's cooking was out of this world.  Oh, how I miss her cooking.

My husband, his brothers and our son would always sneak out for awhile before dinner was ready and play a game of football at a nearby park.  It became a tradition that they looked forward to every year. A lot of times the weather wasn't very good so they would come home with dirt and mud from head to toe.
Doesn't it feel so good to know that no matter where we live, what demomination we might be, the we have these holidays to bring those we love together and cherish most.  I hope that you will take a moment on Thanksgiving and count those blessings and give thanks.  Give a hug to your husband or wife, your mother or father.....and don't forget big hugs for the kids.  Let's be a little more forgiving and love each other a little more.  Give thanks for our military and the tremendous sacrifice they have made for us in protecting our freedoms. Give thanks for this beautiful earth that we live in.....the list goes on and on....
The Design Team at Sweet Sketch Wednesday would like to wish each of you a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving.
