Giving Thanks

I like to make giving thanks a lifestyle and not something I do just 8% of the year (that's 1/12).
Some days and months it's harder than other times. Got to spend some good time at my parents house for Thanksgiving. Family is at the top of my most important list, and is at the top of my list of things I'm thankful for. I'm also thankful for some really good friends along the way.

Adventures of Cardboard Ana

I totally missed posting in October about my big craft show. It was lots of fun. I might post pics later from that. Recently we went on a family trip and my daughter found out her class was having class pictures. She didn't want to miss it, so she found a creative solution.

Cardboard Ana!!

I haven't heard about all of the adventures Cardboard Ana had at school last week, but she came home with me today, and we had some fun of our own.

In the car, on the way home from school. Safety first!!

If you know Ana, you know the first place she goes when she gets home is to her tree.

So glad to be home!

Fun on the swing set...

Swinging and sliding

once more in her favorite tree

Last, but not least, snuggle time with Green Bunny at last!

It's good to be home.

(hopefully I'll be able to update later with pics from Cardboard Ana's adventures at school)

My First Teenager

Happy Birthday this week to my beautiful oldest daughter. Most who know me and my family know how much she loves hats :). It wasn't hard to talk her into modeling a few hats I've made recently. It wasn't long before my son and 2 kitties joined in the fun :)
