Wow, I loved her things and felt like I hit the jackpot!!! And the little letter to  Santa says it is from Jake, that is my little grandson's name, so of course I had to get that!!

Making Christmas Gifts!!!

Finances are tough this year at my house, like it probably is with most of us with the economy. So I have decided to make some of my gifts. Here are a few pictures. I enjoy making Christmas gifts. I made my Grandmothers gifts for Christmas when I was a little girl, because I didn't have money to buy them things. I remember one year in 7th. grade making my one Grandmother a set of pillows in home ec. class.
  She must have really liked them, because she would only put them on her sofa on Sundays and then she would put them back in a plastic bag and store them until the following Sun.

Thankful for family.




I had a lovely Thanksgiving with my family. It is like Christmas to me, because we can't all get together at Christmas.  We give gifts to the younger ones. We laugh and eat and laugh and eat!!! I have so much to be thankful to God for. I thank him for blessing me with a wonderful family, two jobs that I love, and some wonderful blogging friends. I thank him that my children are such wonderful parents. And I can't be thankful enough that my daughter isn't suffering with pain and sick like she was last year at this time.And of course my three beautiful Gramdbabies, that I live in America, I could go on and on..... And even though we have an empty place at our table ( my brother is no longer with us). I have wonderful memories and know that he is in heaven and I will see him again one day. God is good!

Christmas Decorating





I have been doing some decorating for Christmas today. I have never decorated before Thanksgiving. I like to reverence Thanksgiving first. But with working one job, being on call on another and helping with my Grandson, I thought I better do it while I had a little time. I didn't put near the decorations on the Christmas tree that I usually do, and I like to decorate with snowman, since I can leave them out all Winter.

New Shelf from Sawdusty's Cabin

Here is a photo of a new scoop shelf that I got from Denise at http://www.sawdustys-cabin.com/

Denise is so talented, the new shelf is the one on the left, farmhouse tan, then the black one on the right side

I had gotten several months ago. As you can see all of my shelves are different colors, I have no

color theme, if I like something I get it. Besides I am the queen of my castle and I make the rules. HE HE

Photo's of my goodies from Family Heirloom Weavers

Here are a few photo's of my bedding from, "Family Heirloom Weavers", I decided to put them in my

bedroom at our farmhouse we are remodeling. I am using a blanket for the bedspread and a throw across

the bottom of the bed. (Couldn't afford a coverlet at this time, so I am pretending).

And check out the awesome curtains I got there. OMG I love their things, and to be able to see

them actually making them was an experience I will cherish for a long time.

Diabetic Research Walk!!

My daughter raised over $500. 00 for Diabetic Research and walked in support of this on Sat. I am so thankful to God that she was able to do this, her health didn't allow her to do it last year. Here is a photo of her and my precious Grandbabies. I know one day there will be a cure(.I pray for a cure, as I watch her live with the struggles of this disease.) She has type 1 Juvenile diabetics. I call her children the miracle babies!!! You  Rock Steph!!!!
