Hi Bo Bunny Fans!Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday!
Filled with yummy good eats, friends or family or all the above!
We started our day off with a yummy breakfast (French Toast with extra powdered sugar) at Cracker Barrel with my family!
Then off to a movie with the kids back home for Scott's oh so yummy Thanksgiving Dinner and then card games with the kids. They love to play Phase 10 or Monopoly!
This year I'm thankful for a hubby who loves to cook, family in good health, my youngest son doing well in school, the real estate market picking up a bit, my job with Bo Bunny, a teenage son who likes being at home,
my sweet Boston Terrier Peso who life would be very dull without, my very helpful daughter, getting to go to Florida with my Mom and a roof over our heads.
I made a pledge to myself to try to help others out through giving. I read an amazing story about a Veteran and the help he recieved through the Salvation Army. And even though I'm not Rockefeller or well off in the least... this year we have a paycheck for my hubby and that's much better than last. I'm putting any change or small amount I can into every red Salvation Army bell ringers container I come across. So far I've walked by two and twice I've contributed. May not be a huge deal..but it all adds up. $1 here....50 cents there. We're also helping a family by giving gifts, toys, toiletries for a 5th grade boy. My couponing savvy really comes into play!
So what are you thankful for this year? Any special things you're doing?
Leave a comment today and on Monday I'll pick a random name to receive some of our Bo Bunny Delilah collection and some other yummy Bo Bunny goodies I've assembled!

Hi there :) I'm thankful for my friends and family, for hood health, for our house we bought last year, my creative passion... There's so much to be thankful for!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my wonderful family.... I am blessed beyond measure:)
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for family and friends, Karmanos Cancer Center Phase 1 drug trials and this wonderful craft that I've met so many wonderful people through. Being creative has been so therapeutic for me. Thanks for the opportunity to win some yummy BoBunny goodies!!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for family and friends, and that both my hubby and I have full time jobs this year and it's going to be a GREAT Christmas
ReplyDeleteThankful for family, job, health.
ReplyDeleteI love your crafts on the previous post! So awesome!
ReplyDeleteLots to be thankful for here.. two healthy and beautiful children, a wonderful husband and our very own house (even though we hate it sometimes!).
ReplyDeleteI have so many things to be thankful for, but my family is definitely #1! I do love your idea to contribute to each of the Salvation Army bell-ringers -- that's an idea I can get behind and do. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm a CDN but I am always Thankful for my family...they are my muse :)
ReplyDeleteIm thankful for so much this year....we have been thru a major health crisis in teh family but pulled thru it :) It has brought us closer together as a family and closer to God as well!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a HAPPY Thanksgiving Day with your family! I am grateful for so many things and also a believer in passing it forward! I live on a limited income but try to give what I can, when I can as I have been the receiver of other's kindness and generosity. Wishing you a good day today!

ReplyDeleteHi!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I'm thankful for a roof over my head and a warm place to sleep. This year we are downsizing our Christmas gifts to each other so it is a challenge.
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true. I always try to throw change in those salvation army tins too!
ReplyDeleteI recently got an e-mail that really made me take a second look at how I view things. Instead of being frusterated or sad about something, find a reason to be glad for it. So instead of being frusterated that I had to wait a couple days to go to the grocery store (when hubby got paid) when it was convenient to go right now, I am thankful for knowing I had a paycheck come in and knowing I could go. Instead of being frusterated that hubby was gone for 10 days, I was glad hubby had a good job where he was able to take some much deserved 'guy time'. That sorta thing.
This year more than almost any, I'm thankful for a supportive and loving family.
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm always thankful for my loving and supportive family, however this year I am especially thankful for my health after having a rough last year. Makes you really appreciate the small things
ReplyDeleteThis year, I've been blessed w/ too many things to list! At the top, though, are my family, our health, and the many opportunities my children have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your Thanksgiving thoughts too. With Christmas so close to T-giving, I often feel the holiday is overshadowed by so much "gimmes". Trying to teach my own kids to be thankful for what we have is one of the reasons this Nov. holiday has become so important to me!
I'm thankful for my family..and from this year I'm very thankful for all blogland crafty friends..I just started blogging five months agao..now I have some very sweet friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my family and bf I can't really ask for more :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win and may you have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs
Hazel
OH MY GOSH your turkey dinner looks marvelous!!!! I am thankful for my family, friends, health, job, FIL who we love so much and he helps as much as he can around the house (he did the potatoes for dinner yesterday!) and so so much more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome blog hop on a day I stay home. Many years ago I vowed never to pass a Salvation Army bell ringer with out giving something as long as I am able. Like you you may just be the change in my pocket, but it all adds up! THANKS FOR SHARING.
I'm thankful for my amazing kids and my supportive husband. And that we all made it through H1N1!! And that I love my SAHM life :)
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my family and the love they give to me!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my family and the blessings that God pours down on us daily! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity!

ReplyDeleteI'm thankful to you for paying it foreward for the veterans this year. I am a veteran, and my fiance is active duty. He comes home from a year in Iraq TODAY, and for that I am most thankful! Keep up the beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my Bo Bunny buddy(my 8 year old). I'm also thankful for my husband, 4 lovely daughter, our health, family and friends and most of all Jesus!

How sweet to share your bit of change, I like that idea. I am just thankful for family and wish next year to be better, it has to be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
This year I'm thankful for my husband .. we were married June 22. My son-in-law's unit is in Afghanistan, so I'm putting together boxes to send over to his fellow Marines and also have gathered the help of my friends, both online and in real-life to send cards & packages.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge believer in giving to others. I loved reading your blog about giving. What a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm thank full for my OH. He looks after me so well when i'm under the weather.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my new little daughter. She's such a great baby and a complete sweetie-pie.

ReplyDeleteThis year I am thankful for such a wonderful husband.
ReplyDeleteoh yummy french toast at cracker barrel sounds like great idea. I am going to see if hubby would like to go there tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWe always drive to Chicago from Minneapolis to be with my mom's side of the family. About 40 of us gather together for great food and conversation.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful to be an American.
ReplyDeleteI'm always thankful for my family! Hope you enjoyed the holiday!
ReplyDeleteWe sponser a family every year for Christmas. We get a "Santa letter" from the post office and contact the family so that we can figure out how to help them. We have never been disappointed by any family we have helped.
ReplyDeleteWow, love your stuff!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am very thankful that my husband is employed. My "thing" is feeding the hungry right where I live. Any time I am involved in a gathering, big or small, I ask everyone to bring a canned good. I then take the collection to my local food bank.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog!
I am a couponing crazy lady too! We made shoeboxes for children in Haiti through the organization Hope for Haiti's Children. My children along with their sunday school classes have also adopted a seven year old girl that has cancer. With the coupons I get all kinds of free things for the food pantry here in the area.

So thankful for a healthy family, jobs and paychecks, food and a warm house. We all need to remember to stop and give thanks for what we have.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win.
At work we are filling barrels with food and with presents for children.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my family and our good health. Looking forward to wonderfl blessed holiday season with them. Thanks for sharing the BoBunny goodness!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that we get to watch my youngest daughter enjoy her first Christmas and then turn one immediately after! I cannot wait to see what she does with the tree! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that on Thanksgiving the entire family is all together under one roof (doesn't happen too often anymore)!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for all the Lord has blessed me with.
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for: family and friends, a career, good health, financial security (at least for now!), and a hobby that brings me great joy. Your dog is adorable!! Love his ears.
ReplyDeleteI am all about the Salvation Army Kettles. I have my 2 year old and 4 year old put change in every one we pass and remind them that the money is going to make Christmas special for families who can't afford the special things we can. We stopped at one kettle today where the bell ringer let me kids ring his bell after they put their change in. What a thoughtful gesture on the part of the bellringer.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for a wonderful loving family.
ReplyDeleteI am hungry now-boy does that like good. I read the entry above mine-Christmas season doesn't start for me until I see and hear the first kettle. I am so grateful I am able to contribute.
ReplyDeleteWithout too much personal information I would have to say I am blessed to have my in-laws support and love.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for our family and friends and the season for sharing and caring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun blog hop!!
I'm so thankful for my family. I'm blessed to have such a loving dh and 4 wonderful kiddos :)

ReplyDeleteI usually help by donating to Salvation Army or Angel Tree. But this year, I have become unemployed. Although I am better off than alot of others, I cannot help like I normally do. Not to mention, I have 3 grandchildren who's father hasnt been working that much lately either. So any extra I have will be providing Snow boots and winter clothes for my grandchildren. I pray that next Christmas will be alot better and that I can help others more.
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder to be thankful for what you have this holiday season!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a yummy Thanksgiving. I don't have much to give, but do believe that in order to prosper and have good things happen to you, that you must give to others whether it be change, dollars, volunteering, an act of kindness or a smile.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who sew or those of you who can supply the materials needed...www.pinkslipperproject.org
Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi Julia~ I agree, the way you're giving back is a tremendous help whether it's a little or a lot. This year as every year we always have a giving tree at work and we put children's names given from local schools that are in need of some extra special attention during the holiday season. These kids get over the top gifts, something they wouldn't normally receive and the joy is seeing these kids open their gifts, it's amazing! Love the blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm very thankful for my family, friends, my job, and my health.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to be thankful for, my mother, good health, my work.
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving plate look so yummy.
ReplyDeleteI am in the UK and we dont celebrate thanksgiving here. I love how its such a huge deal in the US! I'm thankful for my son who's 3 in december. he really lights up my life! I love looking through all these blogs the inspiration i get from you girls! (ok no so much inspiration more a case of borrowing your ideas) thank you very much for offering to enter us in a draw! for us novices it's a great help!!
ReplyDeleteI have never hopped before. This is kind of fun. Some sites I couldnt figure out how to comment. Your food makes me hungry and I love your sites fall colors!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful my health and that I am feeling well enough to make more memorable moments with my wonderful family.. Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway..
ReplyDeleteBTW.. Love paying it forward ♥
Thank you for giving back. I volunteer at a local food bank and we have seen a 17% increase in the number of people asking for help. We must all do what we can to help.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of giving back as well. Our neighborhood organizes a food drive just after Halloween and I also pick names off the giving trees to help those in need. I'm so grateful for my family, immediate and extended.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my healthy and happy family and for my 94 year old grandmother.
ReplyDeleteYou are sooooo lucky to have a man that cooks. I was up for 2 days straight getting everything ready for the meal. Happy Holidays. Lovin the BoBunny creations.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of the turkey and gravy with stuffing, green beans and cranberry sauce! M-mmmm!!
ReplyDeleteNothing special for the holidays, just spent a lot of time with my children, that is the best way of enjoying my holiday. I am so blessed to have them.
ReplyDeleteYour food shot looks great! We dont have Thanksgiving here but I think it is an amazing holiday!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my family and that everyone is healthy. Spent Thursday with family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful for all the blessings we've received from the Lord. We try to help out those less fortunate than us all year, but there's something about THIS time of year that brings it to the fore...maybe it's supposed to be a season of bounty, but so many are destitute. It's good to hear of others who are trying to help, too. =D
