I am thankful for:

lots of outdoor time with friends and family ... especially those brilliant blue-sky days with lots of bright, fresh snow
fresh sour-dough bread ... I may get the courage to try to make some myself
winter boots and snowshoes and studded running shoes ... all help me to keep my footing on icy roads and trails
Stefan making his way safely to Halifax .... and him sharing a few photos of his last semester as a student
Heidi and Roland keeping the driveways clear ... and setting and keeping wood stove fires going
my 'silver' cottage craft studio ... it is so cosy and warm with the temporary insulated sheets that Roland installed and the high-powered heater
Luna and her snow-loving antics ... burrowing, snow angels and even just sitting there so happily
still being able to visit my mom a few times a week during these 'stay at home' times ... but so looking forward to being able to visit her more often
and so many, many more things.

What are you thankful for?

I love to hear about a few recent things for which you are thankful

It's time for a Creative Treats Club

HAPPY THANKFUL THURSDAY

and a gentle reminder to take a moment to be thankful for recent things in your life (and a short update on how the Creative Treats community is supporting others)

Upcoming and Recent Creative Treats Activities

Today is the start of another #Giving5Thanks challenge. I encourage you to take a few minutes each day for 5 days in a row to share a few words of thanks. You can send an email, pop a card in the mail, send a text, leave a voice memo, type up a direct message, give someone a call or perhaps even deliver them an unexpected treat package.

The winter sessions for the Creative Cards and Crafts program for the Dementia Society are underway. I'm so thankful for Vicki's help in putting the kits together.

My next #TreatBox project, "Galentine's Day" countdown packages is in the works. I hope to donate 7-8 packages, each containing 13 items to the 6-7 women at Nelson House women's shelter.

I created my first-ever YouTube live video. The link is also included below. I'd love any feedback.

I am holding weekly #CreatingCardsTogether sessions on Zoom each Wednesday at 3:30. I hope you will join me. You can sign-up over at Eventbrite or simply use this Zoom link.

Here is my first-ever YouTube video explaining a bit about what Creative Treats Club is all about. I'd love to hear any feedback and suggestions.

This video shows how to make cards using this simple design that my friend, Vicki, put together. There are lots of other videos over on Creative Treats Club Facebook Page. The instructions for all projects shown in the videos are available on the Creative Treats Community Facebook Group.

Don't forget that today is the start of this month's #Giving5Thanks challenge. I hope you are participating. Simply reach out once each day to someone to thank them for something.
