THANKFUL THURSDAY ----GIVEAWAY---and I found MY HOPE

If you look really closely you can see that the hope is on the back side of another stamp. I must have set that on top of the hope while it was on the block and then, when I picked it up to put it away, Hope went with it.


Hope on the back of another year older ----Whats that all about.  I would have liked it better if it had stuck to another year wiser.  Or you are fabulous or.........                any way I am glad I found it and thanks to all of you for your encouragement I knew I would find my hope. and I did and on that note I will do another Thankful Thursday giveaway a $15 Joann's or Michael's Gift card.




Remember to be here on Jan 1st for my 1 year anniversary blog hop.  You will really want to be at this one.

Where do you place your hope?

    lol isn't it funny how you can misplace something like that? just had it a few minutes ago.. and now its gone? .. happened to me the other day with my Peachy Keen Stamp ("winter is for the birds") its tiny.. i just got it in the mail and was using it and it stuck to my arm and flew off somewhere and I haven't found it yet.. hopefully it pops up soon like yours did :D Thanks for the chance to win.. Im not sure how exactly to answer your question but my best answer would be I place my hope with God, family, friends, the future.. others etc etc. thanks again im a follower :D

    Yay, you finally found hope. I was hoping you would. Maybe hope was with Another Year Older because you will be celebrating your blogoversary and maybe it is a sign of all good things to come in the new year!!!! I hope that makes sense.
    Hugs, Happy Holidays, and Blessings for a Prosperous New Year my friend.
    :O)

    I'm so happy you found your hope! It is funny where things end up! I was looking and looking for my to/from stamp and was getting so upset till I realized I was holding it!! So silly!

    It is amazing where "things" pop up. I like to say, "if it was meant to be" or "there is always a reason". Just glad you found your hope. : )

    Thanks for being so thankful. If you ever need someone in your future hops, please keep me in mind. Would love to participate.

    Merry Christmas,

    I place my hope in God! I'd get really discouraged if I didn't. Yesterday my fiance found out he wasn't chosen for the position he applied for, and I pray and hope that it's because there's a better one out there instead! raecholor@gmail.com

    I find hope when I read or hear stories of faith. Today, the video by the teen Ben Breedlove is on my mind. His message is so powerful!

    I'm very glad you found your hope. I lose a lot of little craft items, so I can totally relate. As for me, I place my hope in Heaven. I enjoy life as much as I can, but I'm so glad to know that there is more than this - somewhere to look forward to spending eternity. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the opportunity to feed my crafting addiction.
    Blessings,

    Hate when that happens ~ something ends up missing and it was just there. So glad you found it ~ a sign there is "Hope." HOPE could be my word for 2012 as I'm always hoping (and praying) for something like great health, good friends and financial stability. So far God has been there for me so I feel hopeful. Thanks for the chance to win a Michaels Gift Card (hoping I win and get the chance to go shopping)! Thanks, Diana, and Happy 2012!

    Hope is a big word with lots of meaning...My hope is in the Lord, his love, mercy and grace :O) He gets me through life, answers my prayers, and the greatest hope I have is to someday make Heaven my home. I think I live at Michael's and JoAnn's and a few other stores :O Hugs! Leah Ann

    I just found your blog today through exploring Cricut. I am a new follower. Hope, I don't think about hope much, I just anticipate, I believe everyone can have what there hearts really want, we just have to make it happen. It just doesn't happen over night. Sometimes what we want we already have, we just don't see it.
