Happy Thanksgiving and Memories

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This Thanksgiving is a little different than the last couple. With the angels coming to take him home, Iam a little sad this year. We always would try to connect sometime in the early morning on Thanksgiving, and Christmas via Yahoo and MSN messenger to wish each other a very special day. I am missing that this year and trying to be strong for I know he doesn't want to see me cry and be sad. I need to enjoy the day with my family and remember Don is no longer in pain and free of all the earthly cares.

This is not meant to be a sad post, the holidays always bring the memories of present as well as our past loved ones. Remember they are all thinking about you and know that you miss them. I cherish the memories of the holidays we shared, some we couldn't connect very well but others we spent the whole day on the internet sharing our families with each other.

Don I will miss you always and cherish the memories we had together, as you watch over and protect your loved ones from above. I will watch for you in the stars above and you will always be a ray of sunshine shining over me.

Have a great day and God Bless All of YOU!!!!!

Busy and sad news and a giveaway

I have been so busy and haven't been able to blog much. The good news is that tax classes are done and I am back on a regular schedule. I am almost done with the things I want to give away. My Advent swap has been mailed out and I have received my box from Valeria. She is having a giveaway as well.

One of my very dear friends passed away this weekend. We were very close, and I will miss him greatly. Please say prayers for his family as they go through this hard time.

Have a great day and God Bless all of you!!!!

A little trouble with my machine and a giveaway

My 100th post giveaway will be delayed for a little while. I am having a little trouble with my new machine. It like to break needles. I went through 5 of them last night. Ugh!!!! So I decided to give it a rest for a couple of days. I have Friday and Sunday off so I will finish that and hopefully my Advent swap gift. I have an eye dr appt. tomorrow as well (say lots of prayers the anxiety is already happening). I have to go, tomorrow, as I have had a few problems, hence the anxiety. Oh well I just have to learn to let go and let God!!!! which is sometimes very hard for me in my human body to do.

Well it is another day and I better get something done today instead of sit at the puter all morning. All that nervous energy has to be good for something, right?????

There are a couple of giveaways:

Jaybird has a cool giveaway.

Poppyprint has a cool giveaway.

Helen has a great giveaway.



Have a great day and God Bless All of YOU!!!!!!

2nd post of the day

Carin is having a awesome giveaway.

Feedsack Fantasy has a cool giveaway

Make sure you read all my other giveaways for today in the post from this morning.

Well I had a slow show. Really boring, no one in the mall until the cute little goblins came in. Then when I was leaving the mall, the rear door wouldn't shut so.....what do I do.....I slam the stupid thing. LOL This was the wrong thing to do, as the window wouldn't go up and I heard this crunch. It was failing anyway, but lucky me, my son said I was the one who did the damage. Was a cold ride home. Fortunately he was able to tape the window shut, so I don't have a cold ride to work tomorrow. Son just came in and said it looks like it can be fixed. What a blessing to have a fireman/emt/auto mechanic in the house. Now if I could just get him to figure out to get him to clean his room. One thing at a time my dears.....

I will be announcing my 100th post/1000th visitor giveaway this week. Not sure what it is going to be but I think it will be very cool.

Have a great day and God Bless All of YOU!!!!!
