In the spirit of the season, we want to share with you what we are truly thankful for…
Sherry Hayslip
I am thankful that I have had just enough pain and hardship to give me the sense to savor and cherish all the good things that encompass my life. My husband exceeds every dream for a happy marriage I ever had; we have a dear home, dear friends, a talented and very interesting combined family that we appreciate and love. We are lucky to live in Dallas, near our work, and near so many interesting places and things to do. Life is full. Life is precious, more every day.
At work, I am constantly amazed by and appreciative of the all the people I work with. Without exception they are loyal, intelligent, positive, creative, dedicated, funny, patient with me, and inspiring and comforting to be with. Thank you each and every person. And I am thankful for the many wonderful clients that give us all an opportunity to create so much beauty and happiness in the world.
I look forward to our annual Thanksgiving dinner in all its glory and especially the special dishes that everyone brings to our office get together (yes, I am talking to you, Bree! :)) I appreciate the hard work that everyone does to make it happen and the good nature that everyone brings to insure our combined work families have a chance to share in this special event every year.

I am thankful for my health. I am so happy to be pregnant with a healthy little baby boy on the way.
I am thankful for my sweet husband who loves me unconditionally. I do not know where I would be today without his guidance, love and support.
I am thankful for all the true friends and family God has placed in my life. Life would not be the same without their love, laughter, and presence.

I am thankful for a job that I enjoy.
I am thankful for this time of the year to be able to indulge in tasty holiday foods, especially the stuffing!

I’m thankful I have the best mom in the entire universe/multi-universe.
I’m thankful that I have the most fantastically awesome 4-legged son, Xander, and his little sister, Molly Jane.
I’m thankful that God created the cocoa bean and tomatoes because life without chocolate and pizza, would be NO life at all.
Peyton Hayskip
I’m thankful for my sweet daughters, my hysterical dog, and my complicated family. All of these things keep me on my toes… and when they aren’t aging me prematurely, they are keeping me young.
It would be impossible not to be thankful for the ability to work for the family companies… not only do I have the best commute in town, I am able to work with people I sincerely like every day.
My grandmother’s cheese grits is the logical answer to what am I most thankful to eat during the holidays… but since we also have that at Christmas, I’ll be more Thanksgiving meal specific. One of the things I grew up eating on Thanksgiving is cranberry jelly. The preparation of this dish is very important. I am thankful that my grandmother taught me how to prepare it perfectly every time. Carefully slide the cranberry jelly out of the can and onto a crystal dish. It should retain its can-like shape. Slice the jelly into precise beet-like circles using the indents of the can as a guide. It’s important that each end of the dish still resemble the can top and bottom. And, voila, the perfect Thanksgiving side dish!

I’m most thankful for my sweet husband and gifted children, my parents and my extended family whom I love very much
I’m thankful for a job that allows me to contribute creatively even though I’m not a designer
I’m thankful EVERY YEAR for pumpkin pie – I know you can eat it any time, but it’s kind of like Candy Corn for me (which I only eat between October 1 and 31)… it never tastes better than on Thanksgiving
Melissa Alamilla
I am extremely thankful for such a supportive family. I receive unconditional love every day.
I am thankful for my coworkers who help me every time I have questions.
Even though I won't be having a Thanksgiving meal this year, I am thankful for mashed potatoes... My favorite!
Bryn Hathaway
I’m incredibly thankful for my family’s ability to remain so close emotionally considering the physical distance between each of us. They are my rock and I would never be where I am today without their constant support and love!
I’m thankful for all of the wonderful women I have the privilege of working with. I have never been part of a work environment filled with so many creative, supportive and caring people. I feel blessed to be part of the Hayslip Design family.
I am always VERY thankful for buttermilk pie on Turkey Day! It has been a tradition in my family to make (and completely devour) at least one buttermilk pie for Thanksgiving since I can remember. YUM!
Love,
Sherry
