Would you like to participate in the gratitude quilt this year? This will be the fourth year I'm doing this on my blog and it is very cool to read all the words of thanks linked together. To learn more about the quilt and how to add a "patch" of your own to it look at the top of my blog where you will also find links to quilts from other years.
