A little Thanksgiving Acrostic Poem for our Followers:

The Bugaboo family would like to say

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends and followers.

As we approach our one year anniversary,

Nobody can believe how far we've come. We

Know that we could not do it without you and your

Support. We appreciate you and are

Glad to have each and every one of you play along

In our weekly challenges. We love when you

Visit our blogs and leave your sweet comments.

It is our pleasure to visit you and we

Never cease to be amazed at your talent. We are

Grateful to have the best friends and followers in the crafting community!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Lori Padberg

I just want to wish everyone who is a part of the Bugaboo Family and Friends a Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with lots of love and happiness.

Jackie Rakoski

I just wanted to personally wish our followers/friends a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Jenny Ehrichsen

This year I am so thankful for all of our Bugaboo fans, as without all of you, there wouldn't be Bugaboo! I am also thankful for my fabulous DT, old ones, new ones, and the ones who have been with us since the beginning! You are awesome C:

May your stuffing be tasty.

May your turkey be plump.

May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,

and your pies take the prize,

and may your Thanksgiving dinner

stay off of your thighs!

-Author Unknown

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Jodie Mackrell


I would like to thank all My Wonderful Friends here at Bugaboo and all of our fans and followers for making this experience so great! You all have become like family in the past year and I'm especially thankful for that. I hope everyone has a Great Day.

"Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting." -Author Unknown

May you, Our Friends and Followers have a very blessed and special Thanksgiving Holiday.

Min Kwiatkowski

The simpler my words, the more sincere - Thank you.

Rae Anne Springer


We are so thankful for being able to do what we love to do! In addition to our family and friends we are so lucky we have you, our great followers. You all are the best, we so appreciate your kind words and love that you share with us each day. We are so so very blessed because Jodie is so very talented and trusts us with her creations! This Thanksgiving take time to remember what you have and embrace it and say a prayer of thanks because we are so blessed!


More Than A Day

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around

It brings up some facts, quite profound.

We may think that we're poor,

Feel like bums, insecure,

But in truth, our riches astound.


We have friends and family we love;

We have guidance from heaven above.

We have so much more

Than they sell in a tore,

We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.

So add up your blessings, I say;

Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.

Enjoy what you've got;

Realize it's a lot,

And you'll make all your cares go away.

By Karl Fuchs
