We’re thankful though that he was invited to his Academic Adviser’s home for Thanksgiving. I’m sending along a token of our thanks and made this card for him to give to his hosts.
Included in the design team supplies I received from Blue Moon Beads was this beautiful wood pendant.
I was debating what to do with it and it just went perfectly with my card so it became the focal.
The card is 6x6 so I cut the papers to fit and layered them together as shown. Then I glued the pendant to the center panel and embellished my card with paper flowers.

loooove the card jewelry, and happy thanksgiving to you. glad it worked out for your son.
I just love this card. The pendant makes is a real keepsake.
ps. I feel so lucky that my college boy is only 1.5 hours away and will be home Wednesday night.
That is one of TE most beautiful cards I've ever seen! I'd like to do more crafting like this, I think I first need to start building a stash. I remember the first Thanksgiving my son wasn't home. His birthday also happened to fall on Thanksgiving that year. It was his first year far away from home and he lived by himself. I cried for a week worrying about him being alone. He called one day and told me that a young lady in one of his classes (whose family lived nearby) had invited him and one other student home with her to spend Thanksgiving with her family. He was very much looking forward to it and I thanked God for listening to a Mother's tears. God bless you all this Thanksgiving,
Verry pretty. My kids are a bit older but it's still hard when they're not home. Our son is deployed for the 3rd time...this time to Afghanistan...and I sure am hoping he'll get a decent meal on Thanksgiving! Glad your boy has people who care.
