Giving Thanks!

What's It Wednesday # 49

Blessings by John Holyfield

We are Giving Thanks!
Once again Thanksgiving finds us with plenty of reasons to give thanks. This week we are taking time to reflect and show our gratitude for our wonderful Blogland family. A special thanks goes out to the 700 plus followers. We are especially thankful for all the new friends Ivy and Elephants has brought us. We are also thankful for our families' support of Ivy & Elephants. Our Thanksgiving wish is for each and everyone of you to have a safe and memorable holiday with a harvest of blessings!

So, what are you thankful for this year?

 Love Always,
Patti and Paula

 Thank you all for all that you do to inspire others! I know I am inspired each and every week by each and every one of you. If you were featured here, don't forget to grab a button.

    GOOD AFTERNOON PATTI! This is the first quiet moment I have had today to come to greet you and THANK YOU for your visit.

    That first photo is stunning, just GORGEOUS. On Pinterest, I have found a fabulous collection of African-American AMERICANA art that is going to make it onto my blog somehow, someway in a story because the artistry is much like this; whimiscal, stylized, but telling a story that very few mainstream representations tell.

    Your kind words of encouragement to the artist in me are greatly appreciated and yes, in due time. For the time being, WORK, WORK and MORE HARD WORK and savvy will at least teach me a great life lesson, one that is priceless, indeed.

    HUGS BACK ATCHA! Anita

    Oh, I am right near our beautiful Anita!
    Dearest Patti and Paula, I had tried to leave a message the night before Thanksgiving, but blogger kept erasing it...so here I am with belated Thanksgiving wishes!
    Many wonderful blessings to you both and your families...
    I, too, LOVE the painting by John Holyfield (great last name)....
    Thankful for your friendship!
    xoxo,
    - Irina

    Hi girls,
    I am late for Thanks giving over here, but I wanted to get by to see all that you were inspiring before you sink your hearts into Christmas and all the beauty you will be inspiring.
    Thank you and I am so blessed that you have shared your love and time with visits to me.

    See you soon.
