Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Remember Your Vets

You have a right to protest a war and those who command it

but you should ALWAYS respect those who served!

What A Cutie!

A few months ago I've had TWO people I know have babies and TWO more are almost ready *YEA* and *YIKES* - So I did not know what to get them - maybe receiving blankets/onesies pack *nah* everrrryone is going to buy those - oooh how about  gift card *nah* too generic - hmmm how about car seats *nah* too 'big ticket item' for me [love you guys but .... no] So back to thinking.  I came across these patterns at where else ... Walmart. Don't make faces - I like my Walmart. Well except for the unhelpful/unhappy workers and the overly agressive crowds my Walmart is perfect  *o*  Anyhow ....  they were marking down the patterns 50% off  because they were bringing in new patterns - so I bought 3 new patterns: I thought these totes will come in handy (as if I don't have enough bags), I have a hard time finding tops that give me enough coverage [not all of us can pull off the tramp look] so I thought that these blouses had possiblilities, and the last one are baby clothes [NO that is not an announcement - but it never hurts to be prepared - always a mama never a GRANDmama ] So into my room I went looking for material that will be suitable [cute and light since it's still a bit warm here *tears*] and I had left over material from the blue skirt I made 2 Mays ago *wow how time flies*  And this is what I came up with - super cute and somewhat easy - I added bias tap around the neck and arm holes to make it a bit sturdier and also used it as hem tape to finish the end.

ADORABLE!!!! 

I wonder what the next projects are going to be *hmmmm*

Shabbat Shalom

Love is long-suffering and kind.

Love is not jealous, it does not brag,

does not get puffed up, does not

behave indecently, does not look for

its own interests, does not become provoked.

It does not keep account of the injury.

It does not rejoice over unrighteousness,

but rejoices with the truth. It bears

all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

1COR 13:4-8

Sweetheart this means

YOU ARE LOVE!

For all this describes you

and I am so thankful that

Jehovah God has blessed

me with you.

Happy Birthday Lissa!

Happy Birthday Lil' Girl ^.^

This is our youngest and with her it is final -

we have ALL adult children.  It's crazy I

remember the first time I saw her - she had

super duper blond hair and big blue eyes

and the rosiest lips - she looked just like a doll.

Now - she is allllll grown up *tears*

*I'm posting from work or I would show

you some fun pictures of the 3 kids

when they were little - OMG too cute!*

Just thinking about makes me *sigh*

miss the good 'ol days *smile*

It's AMAZING to see all of them grown up

and how their lives have become ~

Have A Wonderfully Fun Day Sweetie!!



Nice Weather Is Here ... YEEEAAAA!!!!

I miss the snow - however I don't miss driving in it, shoes getting wet (frozen toesies are not fun) or not being able to sleep because I was shivering to death. But the weather here has FINNNALLLY broken 100* YEEEAAAAAAAAAA I am soooooo excited - I feel so happy. I HATE the heat (I am only here for work NOT because I like the desert) no not 'hate' - DETEST, DESPISE and LOATHE are closer to the words. But right now it is 65* and partly cloudy - with a high of 88*. *SIGH*  And I LOVE the month of October - the colors (gold and amber - fall scenery is even on all my backgrounds and screensavers), the pumpkin patch, the fair (it's a month long-we usually don't go since I don't like rides but I want to lose my money and eat "fried" foods and Billy Idol is playing this year - HECK YEA I'm going!) and the best reason to love October ...... our anniversary. This Friday will be 17 years that we have been together as a family and today is our daughter's (with us the lines are blurred on the whole 'step' thing - we don't use the word to describe each other) birthday and she turns 20! That's it! Mr and I are now officially parents to 'adult' children (21, 20 and20) Yikes - when did that happen! I have to go and get ready for work now but I will post really soon. Have a safe day everyone!
