Hello, DIYers!

Now that we are well on our way into November, it makes sense to be practicing gratitude for the things that we have and the people who help us every single day. As you think about all of the ways that your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, teachers, and more help… you might consider making them a thoughtful gift to let them know that you appreciate them. Here are some ideas!

Happy crafting!
