Great Giveaways

Okay, it's officially the Christmas Season! There are some awesome giveaways going on right now out there in "blog land" and one of the best I have found so far is this one at "No Big Deal". HP TouchSmart...really? Yes, really. It's true and I want it! lol

You can enter by going over and just leaving a comment. While you are there take a look around at some of the beautiful things she has made. She is one of my favorite bloggers. Beautiful dresses last year caught my attention and I have been going back since.

Thankful for Thanksgiving...

I have so much to be thankful for. I always feel closer to my grandparents this time of year. They both have been gone 18 years now, and I still miss them as much as I did then.

I am thankful for the time I spent with them. Most of my childhood I lived with them and my Mom. I sat on the kitchen counter, on my Granny's bed, and on my Papa's lap or on his tractor and listened to every word they spoke. I held onto them and remembered them.

Whether it is one of my Granny's recipes, or one of my Papa's stories, I remember them and they are priceless to me.

I will be cooking my Granny's dressing, gravy, and pecan pie this Thanksgiving, as I do every year. We will sit down and I will feel her next to me.

While I am cooking or cleaning up, I will probably sing some old church hymn, and I will feel my Papa standing next to me, I may even hear him whistling. I so loved to hear him whistle.

These things I will never forget and they cannot be bought. I am thankful for them. When Christmas comes, I will have another set of memories from my grandparents to make me smile. Traditions were not known to me when I was in the middle of the woods, bundled up, freezing, and trying to pick the perfect tree, but now they are awesome. I love them and I treasure everything they taught me!

Cute...

Sorry, I have been swamped and see no end right now. I am preparing for two Christmas get togethers and just got finished with a baby shower. There is an awesome giveaway over at Tea Rose Home. Hop over and check it out. It is a wonderful blog, you will love it!

I Am Finally Back...Again!

Well, I am back, surgery went well, just a minor set back. I am starting to get around more and do some seewing. But, today I am going to show off some of my daughter's work. She is super talented and loves making cuties for my dear sweet grand-daughter!

She just looks at things and goes from there, a natural talent. Here is a pic of the new purple set she made.

I am linking to Tea Rose Home's link party! Have a blessed day!

Where Do We Go From Here???

So, since I have seriously neglected the blog lately, I am pledging to do a better job. In trying to figure out what direction I would like for it to take, I came across something wonderful...http://www.theanchorandthebird.com/

So, in the spirit of goodwill and trying to make this world a little better place, I am going to try and get it together. Who knows what may take shape?

I am working on several praojects right now so I will be posting something new soon...

Saturdays are AWESOME days...

Even though I have made quite a few new things this week, I didn't get pics up, so, I will work on that.

I just love Saturdays. When I waas working outside of our home, I loved them because I could sleep in. Now I love them because Eric is home, the boys usually sleep late, and I can start thinking of Sunday, lol.

Yes, Saturdays are great.

Fridays are not bad either. Yesterday we got the news that we will have a new grandson in January. Eric's son is going to make him a Poppa! I love that and he is excited, too!We discovered when Miss Charley Brooke came along, that we were born to be grandparents! We have found our calling in life!

While we will have to wait to see our new bundle of joy, I am sure that he will be awesome! In the meantime, we will continue to spoil the "Queen" as rotten as we possibly can!

Be blessed and bless someone else today. Give a little of the joy you wish to recieve and see how much you get in return!
