October Stampin Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to the Creatin' With Kirsteen stop on the OctoberStampin Friends Blog Hop!

​The theme this month is 'Thanksgiving' or 'Thanks'.


Weren't Cindy's projects awesome? You can navigate back to her blog, or forward to Raquelle's using the links at the bottom of the page (you are at #5 Kirsteen Gill) Just click on the previous or next name to hop forward or back.

Surprised to see this stop on the blog hop? Me too!! It's been a few months since I posted and a lot has happened....the main thing being that sadly our home was flooded during the Harvey storm, and along with the ground floor of our home, I lost my Stamp Room and a lot of what was in it. 

But...during the last several weeks we have been blessed, and humbled, by the outpouring of generosity and love. For me personally, two groups have helped rebuild my Stamping stuff and build up my heart - the attendees at our September Retreat and the SUdden Response Group. 

​So, when I remembered the theme this month was to be Thanks, I really wanted to contribute, and to dedicate this post to EVERYONE who has helped us.

There's little workspace in the apartment we have - so I worked around the sink :)
But, every time I started an idea I found something was missing, or I ddn't have it (a lot of the stuff saved is in various friends homes for storage).

Eventually I found a punch and Regals cardstock, and a small twig wreath I had purchased a week or so ago. My card is very simple - but the sentiment is EXACTLY what I wanted. I AM THANKFUL for YOU! SO MANY OF YOU!

What a lovely card and wreath..you did a super job with your limited resources! I am glad your family is okay but am so very sorry for your trauma suffered from Harvey:uprooted and rescued, the loss of your home furnishings and stamp supplies and now different living conditions and trying to provide a normal daily life for your loved ones.
