I am Grateful For...

Who says that it has to be Thanksgiving to feel extra appreciative?

I am grateful for...

• my family and friends for being understanding of all things Tina, i.e. craft addiction, food, giggle fits, mandatory nap time, occasional potty mouth, etc.
• my job and supportive boss. I'm SO thankful that we jive.
  
• the spin instructors at the gym for being encouraging and providing a good workout a few times a week.
  
• the creative people at all the crafty companies (Hero Arts, American Crafts, My Mind's Eye, Inkadinkado...just to name a few) for inspiring me and feeding my cardmaking and origami habits by continually producing fabulous products.
  
• the people I interact with in Etsyland, Twitterverse, and the blogosphere. I really appreciate your business and feedback.
• Michael Bublé because listening to his music makes me happy.
• Tom Welling because I love watching Clark Kent kick bad guy butt on Smallville.
• dramatic (read: trashy) reality television, i.e. Real Housewives and MTV's The Real World, for the entertainment.

Now, it's your turn. What are you thankful for?

For tonight's card, I wanted to practice my ribbon tying skills. It took me a good 15-20 minutes to get this knot juuuust right, but when I got it, I got it! I seriously did a mental happy dance in my head. Ah, it's the simple things in life that make me happy. :)
