This is what I woke up to the other day while I'm here in Connecticut. I guess I'll get to have snow I was able to shovel snow for the first time in years and believe it or not I enjoyed it. I have missed the snow so much it's all I remember it to be.
Well what can I say I have neglected my blog beyond reason. This year has gone by so fast I can't believe it is almost over. Back in June my son Jim got married to a lovely girl named Haydee. She has spent most of their married life in the hospital so I would ask that you keep her in your prayers. I canceled my giveaway since I will not be here for awhile I'm heading back east to spend some time with them and help out where I can. I'll take my computer so can keep in touch with people. Please pray that everything will work out and Haydee will get what she needs to get better.
Until Later.

When my kids were little they always had to come and talk to me when I was in the tub. I thought "Oh Well when they get older I'll get to be alone in the tub". That didn't happen even when they were in high school they would sit on bed while I was in the tub. I thought "Oh Well when they leave the house I'll be alone". Well that is the only time I get to be alone cause when they come to visit guess what they come to talk to me, and just so he doesn't miss out even Wate comes in once in awhile. Once I had grandkids I thought maybe they won't come in. I was wrong K always comes in to tell how I need bubbles or a toy or washcloth. I never knew I was taking a bath wrong all these years. I thank God everyday I have her to tell me the right way. Got to love the wisdom of little one. Bath time is for play not just relaxing.
When I was a kid and we would go to our grandma's, when she would put us to bed she would always sing us a song. She would ask what song do we want to hear we would tell her the one with the baby asleep on the hay.
Well here we go I can't believe how easy these first two were to make.
As this year end and the new one starts I'm making plans for what I'll be doing. I love Pinterest can waste many hours there. But let me ask you how many of you do any of things that you've pined. This next year I'm going to work my way through Pinterest I have made a few things and will blog about them. I have made these Lasagna Cupcakes from leftover spaghetti sauce it's a great way to use leftovers. So this next year will be pin fun. Stay tune for an announcement of a give away in the next few days I'm hoping it will be fun a one.
Well this has been a year in the making I joined the joy dare over at A Holy Experience were you count your joys, gifts, things your thankful for three things a day at the end of the year you'll have 1000+ thing. I wanted to do something different to record all my gifts. So I made a smash,junk journal for them. It came out so good I plan on doing another one for 2013. I know what your thinking now what do you do with it since there were a couple of pages left I'm writing a letter to my grand daughter K when she turns 16 I'll give her the book so she can see all the little things in life to be thankful for. Next years will go to Ann. I think this is a wonderful idea for them to see how thankful I am for them for they are in many of the pages. This journey has taught me many things how to be thankful in the mist of tragedy and hard times. I'm looking forward to what the next years blessing will be. If you want to try it for your self pop over to A Holy Experience and down load all the months and start counting I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
All these goodies are from my second angel over at Quilting, Sewing Granny I really had a lot of fun doing these swaps. I love swaps this past year I have been doing a lot of it over at Swap-bot. I'm saving these in my happy box. This has been a great year meet some really fun people wonder what the next year will hold for me.
At the beginning of the year I joined the Christmas Angel over at Mrs. Martin's I was lucky to get two Angels, One of my Angels is from that wonderful country Australia Annette she is very gifted I'm saving most of my gifts to open later. The little bag I had to hide, K has been getting in to bags she loves to fill them with her things and some how they become hers. She made me a hook case which I really needed it's going in my go bag. Thank You so much Annette I have had a great time getting to know you it's so much fun to say "Oh my friend in Australia made that for me" it throws people off that I could have a friend so far away.
