My week is flying by...

I wanted my Thanksgiving break to take longer so I could rest more...but it is flying by so far...
Did you all get to shop today? I really didn't have the extra dough right now, so I decided to just wait and not have to engure those lines and crowds with the bad attitudes...lol
I was designing a little bit earlier today, but I am not finished yet...hopefully I will get the kit finished and uploaded to the store tomorrow...
I took lots of great pictures the last couple of days so I will have plenty to scrap now...lol
Don't forget the challenges at MSS this week...lots of them end in a couple days and they will be starting over for next month...
Over at Booland Challenge blog there is also a great color challenge there too.
I wanted to take a minute to record exactly what I am thankful for these days...My family, of course...my dd seems so much happier these days and is doing very well at her job...My son is plugging away at his senior year....the three little ones are doing good...my step daughter is doing good in school too...and my step son is still working on his job...Hubby is waiting to be released from the doctor at the end of next month and may already have a job lined up....
I am thankful that I am at least in mediocre health these days, nothing life threatening...
I am also thankful for my job, it is all that is keeping our boat afloat right now....we are having a rough time, but I know that God hears us and will shelter us from the storms just as he cares for the sparrows...
I am thankful that God looks over us...and provides us with blessings at just the right times.
And I am thankful that you all stop by occasionally to read my ranting and ravings...lol
Hugs for now,

Are you ready to shop? I know I am! lol

Wow, its Wednesday....

I am so shocked it is already here...I have to call my doctor today and get my results from all the bloodwork, and xrays they took the other day. Keep your fingers crossed or pray or think good thoughts for me today.

On another note I made my cupcake for MSS' birthday celebration...I used Pillowgirl's Be kit to scrap it with...it was very fun!

Now I want to make some more....and I want to make a bragbook page or two for the exchange there too...Sounds like lots of fun....the post below shows all the details and has the links to it all.

We would love for you to play too, come join us!

WHY? Do I feel like I lost something really important?

Oh, yeah, that's right, I did...I voted and we lost...and now I am so fearful that we will lose even greater than we did last night. All I can do at this point is pray that our system of checks and balances will keep, what I consider an idiot, from running our country into the ground. Seven years ago our country called on God in our time of need...now it seems we have turned our backs on him....?
"Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do." (from Jesus' mouth)
I am headed to work now with a sad and downtrodden heart...

Good Morning Yall!

Well, here we are on Tuesday morning...ready to vote for the future leader of our country....Did you vote today? I am going to vote after work....I live too far from my home to vote anytime until then. I wouldn't have time to run all the way back to our precinct.
But today is the day! So gooooo vote!
Well, I gotta get to work now...so have fun! Talk to yall later!
Hugs,
Claudette
