Design and holiday crafts with my favorite quote from this past weekend

Happy Monday before Thanksgiving! I know we've got the big food holiday this week because I was at that store that sells the giant size of everything on Saturday and it was packed full of shoppers pushing giant carts filled to the brim with the giant size containers of everything imaginable. But the quote from the day that I absolutely must share:

I said to my friend, "Wow, look how thin that giant TV is!"

She said, "I have make-up thicker than that."

I was rolling on the floor!

So that's the quote for the day! Now onto congratulating a few of our Wednesday book giveaway winners!

Roseanna of the blog After I Finish This Row (see her cool idea where she repurposes salt shakers into needle holders!) won a copy of:
