Spending some holiday time with my sweet family but I’ll be back in this space in a couple of days.
Stay warm and close to those you love and I’ll see you very soon.
Eating Out
{ Speak Your Love }
This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.

Things To Be Thankful For~
~Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows…whaaaat?! That is such a GOOD idea! Can you just imagine Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats? Ooooh.
This pretty little Etsy Treasury that Lyndi made. Just click on the snowflake and you’ll see the rest of the snowy loveliness that she found. :}
The specially made “Bella” finger puppets–with sparkly skin even…made by my good friend Jenny and her mom Tracy from WeeKnit. Love. Love. LOVE them.
The next phase in the Stained Glass Window block that I’m making for Dane and Kortney. It is so fun to watch it coming together…just like the pattern book says.
The gorgeous leaves that are still falling all over the neighborhood, even after that huge snowfall. I adore Autumn.
Two little cousins that are growing up sweet little friends.
~Finding a very clever way to store some of the wheat so that I don’t have to haul that heavy old bag around all the time. These half gallon jugs are positively the perfect size.
A skittish kitty that once in a while will sit still for a quick ear scratch. Silly thing.
Holiday videos. I love them all and can’t wait another second. I watched the Grinch—cartoon version, last night. Next up–Miracle on 34th Street. Haven’t decided which version to watch first, the new one that I’m crazy about or the old black and white one…that I’m also crazy about.
Which do YOU like best?
That coy boy that never ceases to smile that killer smile. What a doll.
We are so blessed!
What are you thankful for?
