Things I am thankful for in the crafting-sense:

* for each of you that come here to read my story.
* for my Stampin' Up! friends and for my dear friend and upline, Jenn Balcer, in particular.
* for my new found A Muse family - both the team and all of the addicts, my life is enriched with all of you in it.
* for the opportunity to do something I love and to share it with all of you.
* to all the people that have supported any of my crafty endeavors - embroidery, Stampin' Up, and A Muse - thank you so much.

So, why am I celebrating?
* For all of those things above
* For 1 year of blogging - January 2008 will be one year!

I am thankful for my family, friends, and good health. Even though we are struggling financially here in MI, our good health is very vaulable. And, I am thankful for 8 brand new lab puppies born on Dec 7th. I have them all for sale and am praying they all sell since they are AKC registered with papers and will be good to go Feb 8th, right in the middle of my husband's winter layoff.

I'm thankful for my husband. He's always the one person I can rely on, no matter what.

What a generous thing to do! and such a great way to round out the year - thinking of things we're thankful for.

I'm thankful to God for all that He has brought me through. No matter what I have done, He has remained faithful to me. I have been through some yucky health issues in the past few years and our family has suffered a lot, but God has stayed right there with us offering glimmers of hope when there seemed to be none. He has blessed me with a beautiful family, friends beyond all measure, and a fantastic hobby that brings me great comfort.

Happy New Year to all of you!!! :)

I'm thankful to God for all of the blessings he has given me. I'm thankful for my husband who works hard to support us so that I can stay home with our children. I'm thankful for my precious children and their health. I'm thankful that my grandmother turned 80 this year, and that she survived a heart attack a few months ago. This year I was particularly thankful that my son had a great start to his kindergarten year (after worrying about it all summer!), with a wonderful teacher at a school that we love. I'm thankful for my home and that we found this wonderful neighborhood by chance 5 years ago, where I met a fun, caring, neighbor named Geeta who has become a dear friend.
