    Happy Thanksgiving!

Julia’s Ways To Use It challenge this morning is to make a card/project that expresses our thanks for something/someone.   I was already working on this adorable little paint can, given to me by Monica at Hambo Stamps as a birthday gift.   It is perfect for this challenge, as I am thankful for the little girl (Hailey) that I am giving it to.   It will be filled with crayons and small markers for our art projects.   Hailey is my little charge on Monday evenings.   She loves to make things with me and well, I love to make things with her!

I am also thankful for:

God, My Family, My SCS sisters, My friends, the roof over my head, the food we are blessed enough to eat and the talents God has chosen to give me.

I had the most awesome birthday yesterday!   My aunts did a DVD for me with pictures of my mom and me and other family members that are important to me.   It is like a slideshow set to music and it made me cry!   I love it.   My oldest two boys took me shopping at a cool LSS and then took me to buy a new outfit for Thanksgiving.   My family cooked me a nice mexican dinner and we had a few margaritas :).   My Uncle brought me roses and a card.   I received this adorable paint can from Monica with a cuuuuuute little angel pig inside (see pic).    I would say I am truly truly blessed!    I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.
