Good morning to everyone, hope you had a great Thanksgiving day with all your loved ones.  I have to say it was great to see all my family and friends yesterday, we had so much food, we has lots of left overs. The kids performed by playing the piano, the violin and dancing to hip hop music.  Well it's time for the last Festive Friday Hop for 2011 - I was not able to find my camera chord until just now - it seems I had it inside my car all along.  Well since I'm at work and not able to take a photo of my card I want to share the cards I made years ago for my family and friends.  I wanted to make a card they could enjoy year after year as an ornament.  I hope you enjoy these as well.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone - or should I say Happy 11-11-11? It is time for our Festive Friday Hop! Only one more this month for 2011.
