Thankful Thursday - #5

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!!

Sorry my post is going up a bit late today, computer difficulties. YIKES!

All is better now... I think she just wanted to go to sleep for a while.

So it has been a rough week for me with my dear daughter Spice.  Love her so much but as we know teens think they are 'all grown up'.

My Thankful Thursday goes out to her.  I am so incredibly Thankful God gave her to me, she made me a stronger women when I was weak many years ago.  Spice has brought me much happiness, laughter, pride and heartfelt love.  I am so proud of her Strength and Self Worth.  I know she will become whatever she desires in life.

I am Thankful for the silly times we can have without caring if anyone is watching.

I love you Spice!

What? Wednesday! - #5

Happy What? Wednesday!

How many of you celebrate Valentine's Day?

I love making all the cute cards and giving the kids candy but you know what... My hubby and I do not celebrate. LOL

Since we started dated, just a couple weeks after Valentine's day, we decided that Valentine's day was over rated.  You never get the restaurant you want because they are booked months out or decide it's first come first serve ON Valentine's Day (really).  Roses and flowers in general all the sudden triple in price.. again REALLY... plus its not a paid day off work, so NEVER a three day weekend to go enjoy.. LOL

Although, we tell ourselves we are not celebrating.. because we don't go BUY the typical stuff, there is still something special in the air that 14th day of February.  We have some great memories even though we will never admit it was a Valentine celebration. LOL

We use Pumpkin as our excuse now... "it's not from me, it's from Pumpkin"

What? Wednesday! Question?


What is your Favorite thing to do on Valentine's Day?

Make a card Monday - #4

Happy Monday Everyone,

Did you have a marvelous weekend?

Pumpkin and I spent Saturday afternoon at a Girl Scout function that was SWEET!!
An older troop of Girl Scouts put together an event called "Sweet Shoppe" and it was fabulous.  There were 9 stations that the girls moved between, each with a different 'sweet' to make.

Pumpkin enjoyed several of her treats when we meet up with daddy at Starbucks, we needed some cocoa to wash it all down. LOL




What did you do this weekend?

Here is the card I put together for my Hubby.  I want to make a habit of slipping cards into is suitcase when he flies out to work each week.  I LOVE making cards and it is a fun surprise for him, since it is never expected.



Thank you for stopping by... hope you have a beautiful Monday!!
