Collected Crafty Collab Hop: Thankful for Shiny Things!

Hello to my regulars and welcome to those who are stopping by as part of the Collected Crafty Collab Hop! If you're following the hop, you should have gotten here from the incredibly talented Boryana. At the end of this post, I'll link to the next stop!

If this is your first time checking out this hop, let me share a little background with you. Chatting with Karen, Anna, and Marie, we discovered a few things:

1. We all love squirrels, but can also be just as easily distracted as the fuzzy little friends. Hence the squirrel in the logo and our affectionate name for our group, The Squirrel Girls.
2. That we wanted to create a hop series to help us use the supplies we've been "squirreling" away.
3. We wanted to bring more attention to blogs, still a vital part of the crafting community.

As it turns out, there are other bloggers out there just like us, giving us the chance to create a great monthly hop series! Each month, we will focus on a theme and supply type. We can decide whether we wish to use one or both. This month we could focus on gratitude, using something shiny, or both. Merlin (my inner magpie) would never forgive me if I didn't use something shiny, so of course my card has gratitude AND some glimmer!

BUT!!!! I also wanted my card to achieve one more secret goal! Read on to find out what!
