Now for my project for this hop:

We were to make something which showed something we were thankful for and I am very thankful that I was adopted by my Dad & Mom.  This is a 8 x 8 layout, which I had never done on this size before, and this was the day that they brought me home from the foster home.  I was 2 months old and thank goodness for my older brother who is the little guy in the picture, he is the one who told my parents to name me Teresa! I found out my Mother wanted to call me Marcia! Yikes! Shades of the Brady Bunch!!! Now, I am also thankful for my hubby and sons now, but I could not have asked for better parents.  A toast to them, for giving me a home! Thanks for hopping and now head over to the fabo Deb at http://www.craftytexaswoman.blogspot.com/

Scrappy Hugs,
