Hope you have a 'Wonderfall' Day!

Good morning!

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful day yesterday & got to spend it with family & friends counting all of our many blessings!

We had a very nice day with family but it went so fast.  Any time spent with family it awesome!

Here is a cute fall card using the set- 'Wonderfall'.  

'Wonderfall' & 'Teeny Tiny Wishes'

cs:  Soft Suede, More Mustard, Canjun Craze & Very Vanilla

ink:  Versamark pad & Soft Suede

supplies:  Big Shot, Autumn Accents die, Woodgrain embossing folder, Word Window punch, 3/8" Tafetta ribbon, dimensionals, glue dot, champagne shimmer spray

 I hope you have a fabulous day!

I'm sure some of you will be working & some of you will be shopping.

I am not a shopper- little alone when there is a crowd.

I'm home all day & excited about that.

I'm going to do bookwork & run to the bank this morning.

Then this afternoon I need to make some sympathy cards & clean my stamp studio.

Tomorrow Shanoah is coming to work on her wedding invites.

So need to get ready for that.

And I've got to get my calendars figured out & start cutting them.

My fist calendar class is next weekend!

YIPEE!

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

I know I have LOTS to be thankful for.

I count my blessings each day.

Each of you are some of my blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

 Gosh- I LOVE this QUOTE!

This is a cool new stamp set.

Wait until you see the rest of the stamps that are in this set.

Heck- wait until you see the Occasion Catalog.

IT IS AMAZING!!!

I don't know how SU! can come up with so many awesome new products to share with us.

But I am thrilled they do & I can't wait to share them with you in the coming months!

Watch out- I have LOTS to share!

School gets out early today.

I have noodles to make & several things to get done in preparation for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Gosh......we have so much to be thankful for this year!

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a year ago that I'd be home caring for the twins & making sure that Brody didn't miss a beat in his learning after his surgery.  And he is remarkably super smart & advanced for his age.  This is so rewarding!  I'm thankful that Deke & I get to enjoy the boys each day, share in their growing up & hopefully make it easier for Manda & Steve to not worry about them while they are at work.

The boys & I sure had a fun day yesterday helping Papa with his new baby piggies.

(If you couldn't tell by seeing the photos I posted yesterday afternoon.)

After spending our morning outside we came in to eat lunch, get hair cuts, take their baths AND then they both slept for a couple of hours.
Guess we wore them out.

I know I was tired too.

Tomorrow morning we get the rest of our baby piggies delivered.

Hoping that Brayden can come help- as he is a true farm boy & loves anything to do with the farm.

I know he felt bad he didn't get to help us yesterday since he had pre-school.

Happy Hump Day!
Hugs!

Our farm boys!!

 Brody is helping chase the baby piggies into their pen.

And Drake was following right behind them.

They are checking out the water nipples.

And liked playing in the water.

Lovin' the squeal of the boys sharing their excitement of the new baby piggies.

Look at Brody's smile!

 Even Drake was lovin' the baby piggies this time.

Last time he wasn't so sure about them.

Here is an adorable photo of Papa Deke with Brody & Drake.

They were filling up the feed cart so they could feed the babies.

Here they are feeding them.

How blessed we are!

It is so much fun to be able to share our love of farm life with our grandsons.

Brayden had pre-school today so couldn't help.

But he informed me on Sunday that he didn't have school on Thursday because it was Thanksgiving- so he'd be here to help Papa.

YEP- we do get baby piggies in on Thanksgiving morning.

It doesn't matter what day of the week, what the weather is like, if you are sick or whatever.....

things must still be done on the farm!

Blessings-
