Thankful...

So thankful for these kiddos! We spent Thanksgiving day with Kenny's side of the family and I was lucky enough to shoot this picture of Bre and her cousins. I think this is one of my favorite of them ever! I love these kids so much and am so thankful for each one of them. They are all good kids and I am very proud of them.
From Kenny's parents house we went to my sister and brother in laws to share the rest of Thanksgiving with my side of the family. Had a great time there as well...love that we got to spend time with both sides of the family...something to be very thankful for.
Highlights from the Holiday weekend.
1. Great time with family.
2. Yummy food that we only get to eat once or twice a year.
3. My mom and I decided to brave black Friday and see what deals we could find.
4. Found one very important deal for some one's Christmas...woo hoo.
5. Took Bob's Porsche for a spin...first time ever driving a Porsche and it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be!
6. Got to spend time with my Mom and sister.
7. Didn't have to work today for the first time in 12 years!!!
8. Looking forward to a nice lazy day at home tomorrow.
9. Christmas tree goes up this weekend.
10. Started my Christmas shopping. I had plans on trying to be done by December 1, however that is not going to happen. I am happy with what I have accomplished though and should be done at least two weeks prior to the day, so all in all, pretty happy with that. I hope to get my Christmas cards mailed out by the weekend...lets just say I have great intentions but making it to the post office seems to be a near impossible feat for me, wish me luck!

Hope all of my blog friends enjoyed their Thanksgiving and found lots to be thankful for.

A wow weekend...

Where do I start? Inspiration filled not just creatively but emotionally...not only does Heidi teach some fabulous classes but the messages she shares just blew me away. Such food for the soul...the energy journal was the second class I got to sit in on and it was just what I needed to hear. I am going to use this little journal daily and keep it close to my heart so I do not forget what I learned. The House of 3 Heart Shadow box was so fun, I love that I can hang it in my home and look at it daily. It involved alcohol ink, distress ink, distress stickles, distress embossing powder...total heaven! I cannot wait for Heidi to come back and spend some more time! I still am processing the weekend and loving what this gave to not only me but everyone that came and experienced what a truly amazing teacher and person Heidi is.

Excited...

Four days and counting...Heidi Swapp will be at She Scrapbooks for a fun-filled weekend of classes!!! Can't wait!!! I think I am even going to get to take a couple of her classes myself!!! Lovin that...I don't know which one I am more excited over the House of 3 heart box or the Energy Journal. I am thrilled about both. I have been wanting to do the Energy Journal since the first time I read about it online, I have high hopes of it helping me harness my personal energy and focus better, from the reviews I have heard just taking the class has made a difference in the way you look at things. Then there is that adorable heat shadow box. I think I will get a couple extra and some family members will be getting these little beauties as Christmas gifts this year. And if all this is not enough excitement there is next week...

NEW MOON is coming out...we have been counting down the days since seeing Twilight and it is finally almost here. We have plans to go at least three times over the weekend!!! Friday the 20th and then on to Saturday and Sunday!

She Scrapbooks is doing great...love going to work! Bre is doing fantastic at The Villages High School! We have the house up for sale so we can move a little closer to work and school.

So all in all we are pretty good. I will be posting pictures from the coming weekends asap. Hopefully I will be posting a little more frequently...can't believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Hope you all have a great week!
