I have lots of pictures to share with you today so go refill your coffee. this may take awhile. Yesterday was a very active day for my family and I.  My son Robert and his girlfriend Rena were in Triathlon in Rio Rancho at 8am.  They both did very well.  At 12:30 I had a Thanksgiving dinner at my house for my whole family.  We were giving thanks for my brother-in-law Tyson's great recovery from his brain surgery and to celebrate his birthday with a new look on life.  We also celebrated the return of my sister Cheryl and her son Steven to Albuquerque.  It was a good day.

I made some napkin holders for the Thanksgiving dinner.
First I  stamped and colored each one. I added glitter glue and cut each one out.

Here are the napkins I used along with the paper strips I cut to go around the napkins. 

The finished product.
