Here's our annual installment of November's Thanksgiving Thankful notes.  Thank you so much to all y'all who left these uplifting little leaves to read and for putting such good energy out in the universe.  I can't tell you how much fun we had reading them throughout the month, and again now in typing them up.

[NB:  we did leave a few off for the first time this year, as we worried they were aimed at stirring up anger rather than putting good energy out in the universe.  If we left yours off and you feel it was left in good faith, feel free to take that up with CarolCo and explain!]

Picture of note that says,
Bless this human!  This one pumpkin counteracts anything negative a few folks might have been trying to stir up.  :-)
