Thanksgiving is the time take a step back and appreciate all of the things in life that we are thankful for. What’s on your list?
I am SO thankful for my fabulous friends and family- my family is my rock. My Dad was my first business mentor, my Mom was my first soap salesperson and my younger brother has always been supportive through all my crazy schemes growing up (garage sales, lemonade stands, hamster breeding operations etc…).
I’m also super thankful for my book club, hiking in the PNW, Mt. Baker, Lake Samish, the Bramble Berry staff (they make me laugh), incredible customers, sunny days, good health, yoga, the Soap Queen Community, boot camp, truffle cheese, ELF Industrial, Seabrook vacations, Glee, Cupcake Royale Chocolate Salted Caramel Cupcaks …the list can go on and on!
Happy Thanksgiving from my family (and the Bramble Berry family too!) to yours.

Glee! I love Glee. It's such a fun, happy show (swoon) and we don't even have TV so I have to watch it on Hulu =))
Megan says
Love that family picture up top! You are just too cute! And I love Glee too, that's all I really wanted to say! 🙂

I, too, have a long list, and am thankful that I do! LOL!
Your doggie-niece is a doll. 🙂

Andrea, I agree – my niece dog is the cutest! And her parents are pretty great too. I'm so lucky that my brother and sister in law have spent the last two years with us up in Bellingham.
Morgane, You are so right – a long distance relationship is difficult. It must be wonderful to be with your husband now. I am so glad that you are making soap for Christmas. Your gifts are sure to be a hit.
Lynn, The Mariners! I like it! =)
Rose, Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.

Happy Thanksgiving right back to you and the BB Staff.
My thankful list starts with my husband, then friends and family, Brambleberry, and a baseball team that had a winning season (Mariners), and so much more. I'm thankful that I have so much to be thankful for!
Morgane et Romeo says
Happy thanksgiving with your family, you deserve it!
I am thankful that my husband (canadian) and I (French), got finally to live together after several years of a long distance relationship.
I am also thankful to be in good health and be able to do things i thought would never do; like going to the gym everyday, take volley class, go snowboarding….
I am also very thankful that i found your site, you really inspire people. I can't wait to get my melt and pour base (tonight) and start making all the christmas gifts.
You are doing an amazing job and i wish you well! Please stay the way you are, funny and generous!

Anne-Marie – since I am not and American or Canadian – we do not have a special Thanksgiving season. But I am sincerely thankful to you – It was your Soap Queen site that got me hooked on all things soapy. YOu have fantastic tutorials etc and I really appreciate that you take the time to personally answer questions and reply to comments etc. Oh yeah and I love your wall art in that family pic!

Your niece-dog is just THE most beautiful girl. When I read the things you are thankful for, it really is all about the people and places (from your photos) that make us wanted, warm and comfortable.
