A very different kind of puppy love 🐶

Hey, Reader, So yesterday, my son came home from school and said, 'Mommy, I learned about writing a persuasive essay today and wrote one for you.' 'Excellent, buddy, let me see it.' Essay Title: Why We Should Get Another Dog 🐶 Mom thought: Uh, oh..we already have two and used to have three. Dear parents, I am writing this to you because I think we should get a new dog. Here are some reasons why. If I get another dog, it will allow me to mature faster, take on more responsibility, and think more about how to care for other people and pets. P.S. If you are reading this and don’t have a dog yet, you should because having a pet makes everything better. My husband and I chuckled. Haha! That kid is gooood. My son eagerly awaited me to be convinced right then and there. Spoiler: of course, I didn’t run out and get a third dog, but I did have to pause and celebrate how he was able to think about what might motivate someone to be open to his thoughts or requests. Instead, he sparked a new thought: if we can’t get another dog, why not find a way to get pets into homes in shelters before Christmas? And just like that, the theme for our 6th annual ThanksGIVING-BACK event was born! What is the ThanksGIVING-BACK event?While other businesses use Black Friday to boost numbers, ours have been different for the past 5 years. For every sale during the week of Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we will make a donation to local shelters to provide for the pets in need and foster funds to help these furbabies find their forever homes. In other words, you are giving back to those in need (animals!) while treating yourself during Black Friday. But if you are not interested in receiving messages about the ThanksGIVING-BACK event, I respect that 100%. Please click here so I can remove you now, and don't weigh your inbox down. In the meantime, here are some things to persuade you to visit the Craft Vault and get ready for Thanksgiving with our activity printables and projects! 8 Free Thanksgiving Printables
All my best, Abbi P.S. Keep the giving going and forward this to a friend who would appreciate it. P.P.S. Say hello to our Liberty, the fabulous Frenchie, and Macy, the ball-obsessed Goldie. |

[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], imagine I handed you a book and said, ‘Fill this with your dreams, a grand vision, and goals for your life.’ What would you put in it? As adults, most of us would have no clue, so we would place that book aside to collect dust. Now, when I handed my kids a book and said, "Fill this with your dreams/goals for your future," do you know what happened? They ran off instantly and started drawing in the book, cutting out pictures to paste inside, writing ideas, etc. Why, as...
Have you ever cleaned up and organized a part of your home or craft room only to forget where you put everything?Isn’t it ironic how trying to be tidier can lead to losing things? This happens a lot in my craft space; I call this phenomenon Craftnesia - the feeling that you have that craft supply or tool but can’t remember where. Staying organized around the house or in our craft spaces is honestly a tall order. After all, being creative and mess-free is not exactly harmonious. To help with...
I walked into the movie theater with my kids and husband to see the movie Wicked. I expected a fairytale-like story with music that would surely get stuck on repeat in our car for the next few months. What I actually got was a life-changing message that was a peak to the slow crescendo that’s been building all year (and Popular stuck on a loop in my brain). For those of you who are still Wicked outsiders, let me bring you in from the cold… Once upon a time in Oz, the green girl who’s just...
