YEAH! It's finally here....Thankful Blog Hop & Giveaway

Welcome to Creations with Becka and the MY THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS Blog Hop! If you've come from visiting Raven's blog, you're in the right place!

If you've just happened across my blog and would like to play along with our fun hop, you can go to INKING IT UP CRAZY and start at the beginning.
The theme of this blog hop is MY THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS. Each blog has created a project centered around the blessings they have had this past year. Be sure to visit each blog for inspiration and fun BLOG CANDY.

I am thankful for my family. It really doesn't matter how much money or stuff you have, or how big your house is or what kind of car you drive. The most important thing to me is my family. My wonderful husband and my 2 healthy beautiful children are my life! I am a better person because of them and I am so blessed that God gave them to me. So that is what I am most thankful for this and every year.

For this blog hop, I made a picture book that can also be made into a hanging star. Check out this video, and be nice, it is the very first video I have made.
