~Give Thanks~

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL....And may we each take the time to count our blessings and give thanks for what the Lord has so abundantly blessed us with.


~I have so many things in my life to be thankful for. I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. The Lord has been so good to me and my family.~

Here are the words to a wonderful chorus we sing at church. It has so much meaning of what we are to be Thankful for. I'm sorry but I don't know who wrote this chorus.

GIVE THANKS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART

GIVE THANKS TO THE HOLY ONE

GIVE THANKS FOR HE HAS GIVEN JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON

AND NOW LET THE WEAK SAY I AM STRONG

LET THE POOR SAY I AM RICH

BECAUSE OF WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE FOR US

GIVE THANKS...

I want to close this with a BIG Thanks to all my friends and followers of my blog. I appreciate each and every one of you and I love reading your comments you leave for me. I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and you get to spend some special quality time with your families.

Warm Hugs and Blessings,
AMY

Sugar and Cinnamon Pantry Cakes

Sorry no pictures yet but I have a quick question. I made pantry cakes out of white sugar, spices and water. They don't look too bad but they are very sugary looking. I am going to let the dry for one more day to be sure they are solid. Here's my question. Is there a way to make them not look so grainy? Should I dip them in wax, rub them with something or spray a clear coat on them maybe? They just don't have the look I was after I guess.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. If they ever look the way I want them to, I will post some pictures of them in my displays. If they continue to look the way they do, they will probably go in the trash and no I won't be taking pictures of that!

Thanks in advance friends. Have a fantastic fall like day.
Warm Fuzzy Hugs,
