Feel the Joy

Hello, today I just wanted to pass along a few websites... for my American friends, you may find this useful for all of those leftover Halloween candy bars. For others, it may just give you some sweet baking ideas:)

Check out these sites with recipes that could use up all of those surplus Snickers, M&Ms and other chocolate goodies:

We live in such a generous neighborhood and could never eat it all of our Halloween candy so I wanted to find something useful to do with it.  It looks like I could be baking a lot for our neighbors, teachers and friends in the next week or so.

Here's my card for the day. I used some handy dandy kraft cardstock, Unity's "Feel the Joy"stamp set, a little Basic Grey June Bug paper and a sketch from my Go-To Sketches book.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial 

into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into 

a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,

 and creates a vision for tomorrow."

-Melody Beattie

Take care!

Today I'm thankful for...
