Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hey Guys! I just wanted to pop in real quick and wish you all the best during the Thanksgiving Holiday! I, as many others, have so much to be grateful for this year. After seeing my husband through a serious brain injury this summer, I am so grateful that we were given the blessing of spending another Thanksgiving together. Along with the large things, I have many little blessings everyday too. When I come to blogland, and am allowed in your homes and to share in your lives, it is a blessing each and every day.

Now on a more serious note........I was sent this video today from a very dear friend Donna, and I was so taken with it, I just had to share........this is what was written below the link that was sent.


Our daughter-in-law, Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it.

When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a> wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer?

Please take a moment, and watch this.........it is for such a wonderful cause, and it is just delightful to see. Happy Thanksgiving Blog Friends, and I will be back after the holiday so till then.........as always

Many Thanksgiving Blessings to Ya!

I truly don't know where the week went.......can't believe it is Friday! It has been a whirlwind here, as I wanted to finish up orders, get swaps finished and mailed out, so that I could sit down and paint something off my "to do" list.......you know the one that is a mile long, and I will never finish everything list?


I have had this one in mind to do for quite some time.........and I was very pleased as to how it turned out. Some designs just speak to me more then others, and I thought this adorable snowman was a for sure indeed.



I painted this on a very thick wood cutting board......black of course! It is sprinkled in snow, for an even more winter feel. Isn't he sweet?
Well here is wishing everyone a terrific weekend.........I will be using next week to get ready for Thanksgiving, and maybe even start a little decorating.....at least go through and see what I want for this year. Simplicity is the theme for my home this year......lots of nature in simple green boughs, and of course all the white twinkling lights! So I will be back soon, hopefully with some photos to share..........Till next time.........Blessing to each and everyone!
