What are you thankful for? With Thanksgiving almost here in the States, (where did the year go?) it makes you think about what and who is so special in your life and what you are thankful for. Even though I am thankful and grateful for everything and everyone in my life everyday, the holidays always bring it out more in me! I am so thankful for my friends and family especially my children! My kids mean the world to me and I would NEVER take them for granted. They are a special gift from God and I thank him everyday for them.
What can you win? How about all of this!!

Love your blog, your babies are so precious. I am like you I am thankful for my two children that God has blessed me with. I have had 4 miscarriages and I know how blessed I am. My 6 year old is a cancer survivor and each day his smiling face reminds me to not take anything for granted.
Hi Melissa! Awww your kids are so adorable. Thank you so much for the opportunity to play in your candy. I have so much to be Thankful this year. This year was a tough one for me and my family. We loss a few family members through old age, cancer, and a motorcycle accident. Time is so precious and we need to take the time to appreciate life itself. All we can do is remember the good memories and time share together. I'm thankful for my family and friends for the support and grateful to have them a part of my life. Also friends I met through blogland, they are inspirations and I love sharing the passion in crafting.
I am thankful that my mom has lived another year and will be able to see all her grandkids and greats this Thanksgiving. She has had a very up and down year. I am her caregiver and she has given me more than one scary night. Also thankful that my 2 kids from out of state will be making their way here. Of course I get so much pleasure from seeing my 18 month old grandson. I think just looking around and seeing all of God's beautiful should make everyone thankful. Sorry I do not have an active blog.
I am thankful for my family- immediate and extended. And I am very thankful that my husband will be home with us for almost all of the holidays, as a military family that doesn't always happen.
I am thankful for my super supportive husband! About 5 months ago I began my weight loss journey. He has been nothing but helpful and supportive during this very difficult process.
Your Children are so adorable, and you are right...they truly are one of the greatest gifts that God could ever give anyone. To see the world through their eyes is such a blessing. This year I am so thankful that my son doesn't have bone cancer. Thank you for a chance to win such fabulous candy..
Oh, they are so adorable!!!! I am very thankful for my wonderful Hubbums and all he has accomplished this year, along with our new home that we moved into this past weekend!
what a cute children you have hun
i dont have any of my own (unfortunately)
i'm thankful i still have my sweet and dear hubby

your candy is amazing sweetie

hugs angelique
I was just checking out your faux toy drum.. it's stunning!! We don't do thanksgiving over here but I'm thankful for the usual things - that my children and happy, healthy and safe, that both my husband and myself have our parents and all our siblings here with us, and that everyday science makes incredible breakthroughs in fighting diseases, thanks Melissa ♥
I just did a post on this last night...I have so much in my life to be thankful for and so many people as well....to fully answer this would take forever....so here is my post from last night http://teenabugg.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-many-blessings.html
i'm thankful for my two beautiful kids!! thankful for me turning 31 tomorrow and be healthy! and of course for my hard working husband!
Your kids are adorable!!! My husband's birthday falls on Thanksgiving, so of course, it is only natural for me to be thankful for him. It is also the first holiday (not counting 4th of July) we have spent together. So I am thankful for family time (on both sides) and new traditions!
what a fun contest! This year has been tough for me and my extended family so it's helped me put things in perspective. It has reminded me that no matter what I am thankful for my family, that even though we don't have it all, just being together we have everything! :)
I am thankful for many things, my hubby, my two kids and my 6 wonderful grandchildren. I am thankful for fellow bloggers that have filled many lonely hours for me. I am also thankful for the wonderful chance to win this awesome prize! Have a great thanksgiving.

Thanks for the awesome candy Melissa. I am thankful for so many things. I am mostly thankful for my parents (who passed away much too young) for teaching me the important things in life. The impact they left on me, has been astounding and while I miss them terribly, I always know they are watching over me with pride.
Your kids are so cute Mellisa. God bless them always!!
I am thankful for all my family and friends who have supported me through all the ups and downs of my life, believed in me when no one else did and loved me unconditionally.
I got married 4 months ago and I am so thankful for having found a lovely person to spend the rest of my life with. I feel blessed and thank God everyday.
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!!
I have SO much to be thankful for! It is hard to narrow it down, but I am most thankful for my God, my husband, and my three children. I am so blessed!

What adorable pics of the kids, just too sweet!
I am thankful for my family of course, my son who is 17 and the special man in my life for the past 11 yrs who keeps me grounded and is always there for me. I am thankful that my parents are still alive and will be with me this Thanksgiving, last year we had quite a scare in January my dad had to have open heart surgery again. Thank God he made it thru and is doing alright. So I've got a lot to be thankful for!!
Another fab candy, and your kids are so gorgeous. I am thankful for everyone in my life, my kid, husband my dad and mum, my sister, nieces,...
They all are very special to me and they mean to me a lot. I am thankful for evrything I have. Hugs,Moni
I am thankful for healthy children, my marriage going well, way better than last year, having a secure financial situation and my relative health. I have lupus and fibromyalgia which means I struggle with low energy every day. However, I haven't had a serious flare in over 10 years which I never could have predicted having been sooo sick when I first got lupus. My mom confided with me, at 35, that she never thought I'd make 30 I was so sick. Even having children at all is a miracle as many women with lupus cannot carry a pregnancy to term, get complications or, as I was, are on medications which would severely damage or kill the baby. I love them so much and I thank God for them when I pray! I always wanted to be a mom since I was a young girl and I am so thankful!!
I am thankful for my husband, kids and extended family and friends. I am thankful for crafting as it is my stress reliefer and I have met so many wonderful people in person and online through my crafting.
I am so thankful for the wonderful man God gave to me. We celebrated 14 years of married life this week. I have also been blessed with 4 lovely children.
What a wonderful giveaway! I am thankful for so many things, but especially a wonderful family to share it all with!
I am grateful because I have a roof over their life, some friends and a wonderful family and also because I can study to become a teacher that is my dream! I can't ask for anything more!
Greetings from Barcelona!

Hi Melissa! Your kids are so adorable!! Thanks for doing this amazing giveaway. I'm thankful for my amazing friends and family =) Keep up the amazing work!
I'm always thankful for all the usuals, but this year especially, I'm even more grateful to my son's education team..folks that work with special needs children are underappreciated everyday and they have made LEAPS in my son's life this year.
My 3 year-old daughter is browsing with me right now, and when she saw the baby picture, she said "AWWW! What a cute baby!" HAHA. I thought I would share that.. he is awfully cute by the way!
I am grateful for having a healthy and wonderful family. :) What would I do without them?
I've blogged about this today at my Giveaway Friday post at Scrappygolucky.blogspot.com
Thanks for the chance!
What a fantastic candy, but you have reminded me that I should be thankful for everything I have.. the ironing of my husband's clothes which I hate so much.. I should be thankful that I have a husband... the kids moaning and not wanting to do their homework... I should be thankful that I have healthy kids ... the housecleaning that I have to do.. I should be thankful that I have a house to clean... and the list never ends!!! thank you so much xx
First let me say that your boys are so cute!
God bless!
And I'm like every mother first thankful for my healthy beautiful children.
My childhood was stolen by war,so I'm thankful that my kids are growing in peace!
Hugs!
Sandra!
I dont know if I can even begin to list everything that I am thankful for. I have a wonderful hubby, healthy happy kids, a job at Michaels crafts that I love. We have a roof over our heads and food on the table. We are warm at night. Everything else is gravy.

I am thankful that I have found papercrafts. It has enabled me to learn so much, share ideas and tips with wonderful and talented people from all around the world, and create and express my thoughts and feelings in so many amazing ways. It has enriched my life and is something that I can pass on to others to allow it to enrich their lives.
