Saturday Sentament: Thanksgiving

Not what we say about our blessings,

but how we use them,

is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

Favorite Feeds Friday

Welcome to the November 12 edition of Favorite Feeds Friday.  Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away?  We made some serious progress on our Christmas shopping and even a little cleaning yesterday!  Here's my favorite feeds I found on Google Reader today:

• Raimi from If Your're Happy & You Know It gave a touching Veteran's Day tribute.  And she took me on a little trip down memory lane with her picture of my childhood hometown.
• The Mother Huddle shares some non-dinner Thanksgiving traditions.  Did I mention Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away?  I'm so excited!
• Celebrations at Home has a great DIY gift box and candy recipe!

Thank you to all who have entered my drawing!  I'm so excited that CSN Stores is sponsoring the $35 giveaway so I can help one of my fantastic readers with their Christmas shopping.  (I won't tell if you spend it on yourself.)  If you still haven't entered, find out how here.  Remember to comment by Sunday at midnight!
