Thankful...

I normally have a really long thoughtful post for Thanksgiving. I am not so sure I have that in me today, but a little bit of thankful for a day that is dedicated to it.

I am Thankful for...
  • My husband - Eric and I have made a great little life here together, and I am happy every day.
  • My siblings - I know we're so far away from each other, but we've been through a lot and we've stuck together.
  • My momma - who is in a better place, but left me with such strong and wonderful memories and traditions.
  • My dad - who has finally found his beat in life.
  • My grandparents - Nielsen AND Kneeland, miss my Nielsen grandparents, but love that my Kneeland grandparents are loving life on their farm.
  • My extended family - they are wild and crazy and I love them all.
  • My pets - they both keep me on my toes and make me feel so loved, unconditionally.
  • My  job - somedays are up and others down, but always I am thankful for the company I work for and the people I work with.
  • My life - and everything that entails, from the little things to the big, like food on my table and a roof over my head, really, I am truly blessed.

Lastly, and not least - I am thankful for this blog which even in my lulls of posting I have a horde of loyal readers and a place to spill my thoughts, both silly and complex.

Thank you, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
