A Give A Way

Its that time of year where we are all over, doing this and that.

So I thought I'd do something for you.

This necklace is already created.

Ready to be given.

Already made, this is a great gift.

And not only for a school teacher, but a music teacher a speech teacher, art teacher.....

or even a friend who teaches.

Just say hi.

Thats all.

Winner will be picked randomly on Friday.

Hope your Tuesday was great.

She was my maid of honor.

Sweet. Kind. Thoughtful. Energetic.

a Great Mommy. and a Wonderful Wife.

Very cute family.

Somthings Come Over Me

and it feels so nice.

With all the work going on here.

Filling orders for Christmas.

There is

No room to move. No room to cook. No room to write.

Its crazy.

But something has come over me that I thought I was loosing.

The ability to craft.

I love it.

Daily, I am inspired to by other bloggers.

I just keep looking, loving, and looking some more.

So today, I got my craft on and if felt good.

Is the table a crazy mess.

Yes.

Is it making my hubby crazy, probably, but he's kind enough

not to say anything :O)

I made these today.

(for 2 birthday party gifts today)

Not that big of a deal but for a gal who hasn't had time to craft

it was HUGE.

I wish I could have got better pictures.

They were so cute and sparkley.

Definitely fun to make.

Hope your having fun :O)

Just a Peek at our Christmas Tree

Oh how we love this time of year. Although there is no

snow on the ground and you can practically wear shorts,

we love it. But the thought of looking out the window to snow

sure sounds fun.

Here is a peek at our tree. I love it, morning, noon and night, its always on.

I love this.

This is the kids part. Everything they put on is at their level.

At their level and all together.

2 years ago all my oldest wanted for Christmas was reindeer.

This is what she got.

Love the lollipops.

I painted these silly little moose/reindeer heads years ago.

Its fun to see them once a year.

Hope your day was great.

More on the home decorations tomorrow.

Its kind of hard to take pictures of them and have em' turn out good.

Should I take them in the day or night?

Any suggestions?

Look out December Here We Come

We celebrated our last Thanksgiving on Sunday.

We had already been to 2.

One on Thursday & one on Friday.

Woo-hoo, we partied.

The house was warm and full of conversation.

The food was yummy.

Outside there were kids playing.

It was good.

A little B-Ball

In the middle of playing, this one walked up to Great Grandma (90 years old)

and gave her a hug & a kiss.

Wish the picture would have came out better, but I am happy to have one.

Little hoola-hoop

I even got a little modeling thrown in there.

What a fun 5 day holiday.

December 1st.

We are ready to give.

We are ready to Celebrate.

Have a Wonderful Day.

I asked each of them,

What are you thankful for:

Isabella: Jesus, family, pets and ancestors.

Sophia: ZiZi Annas, family, pets, and for this great home.

Daddy: that we are all healthy, our family, and that the girls love school.

Me: I am, with my whole heart, for my family, my home, and my life.

I am thankful for Abe Lincoln who created this holiday saying:

"It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens ... to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwells in the heavens."

Thanks Carey for the post.
