I got so busy with real life Thanksgiving that I didn't take time to blog. I did however reflect each day on what I was thankful for! So here's my bullet point list. :)
Day 23 - Thankful that my DH was able to get home from his mission in time to join us on our holiday trek to see family.
Day 24 - Thankful for family but also for family who loves to be together.
Day 25 - Thankful to be able to breathe freely. I had a very scary allergic reaction and had a difficult time breathing and once the scare was past the thankfulness of knowing I and none of those I love suffer from asthma on a regular basis was HUGE. It was very frightening to not be able to breathe freely for a few minutes!
Day 26 - Thankful to get to go and spend a few hours enjoying God's beautiful nature while we treked the side of the NC mountains in search of the perfect Christmas tree.
Day 27 - Thankful for safe travels and no major delays while traveling home from NC.
Day 28 - Thankful that God has provided work for my DH during this trying time of non steady orders....even if it meant hearing an alarm going off at six am first thing Monday!
Day 29 - Thankful that my children have had the chance to learn ASL to include some beautiful Christmas carols...signed songs are so beautiful!
Day 30 - Thankful for friendships....near and far, real life and online.... & Thankful for realizing this year that life in balance is a much happier and less stressful life.
Thank you all for reading through my 30 days of Thankfulness. I know some of you just come to "see what's new" in my creative spot on the web...so thanks for reading along!
Well I have to apologize to Emily at Stamping Bella this week. I got home from NC and life was bonkers with a very strange and jumbled schedule and I TOTALLY FORGOT to create my CPS card for last week's sketch! BUT I did create it and loaded it to the blog late - and here's what I made. I love how it came out...during this time of Autumn hues and Christmas red and green preparations, I thought this color group was a fun one! Don't you? Enjoy! -
