  1. Thank you so much, Alyson, for selecting my “Sunshine in a Box” to be in your Thanksgiving post. I’m humbled to be included with such amazing artists! Love it and hope all the readers have a wonderful day!

  2. Alison,
    I have enjoyed your newsletter a great deal. I am currently not in the us, but your newsletter gives me valuable information to help me start what my goals might be. Thanksgiving was spent with friends in Cambodia. We had real turkey and a fabulous Thanksgiving meal. Nothing like being in a foreign country to realize how thankful and fortunate we are! A small group of us went to see the sights of Angkor Wat and to learn about some of the NGO organizations active in the area as well. Best regards, linda

  3. Hi Alyson, hope you had great Thanksgiving! Thank you for choosing one of my images for this post and thank you for sharing the other wonderful food art. Great for the holiday season!
