A Happy Thanksgiving and A Hearty Thank You!

Hello friends~ Today is Thanksgiving in the States; a time to give thanks to God for His many blessings. A table laden with wonderful food and loved ones to share it with; it doesn't get much better than that!

I would like to wish you all a wonderful day of celebration with your loved ones.

We Canadians celebrated our Thanksgiving in October so we are all getting ready for Christmas right now. When I reflect upon this past year of blogging, I am overwhelmed with the number of friends I have made. You are all so sweet and a lot of you are faithful followers. I am thankful for every one of you. Each one of you is so special to me and I am enjoying this hobby of mine because of you all! Every once in a while someone comes along who goes out of their way to be especially nice and expects nothing in return. I know she will probably want to use her wooden spoon on me for mentioning this, but I'm going to anyway! I think I'm pretty safe seeing as there is a whole country between us! She lives in Texas and I'm in Canada. Isn't blogging the best fun? You get to befriend people all over the world!

She often threatens to flail you but like most, her bark is worse than her bite! Deep down she has a very big heart. I know most of you already know that I'm talking about none other than Penniwigs!

Everyday she blesses us with her wonderful free graphics and her visits. She also makes wonderful jewelery.
Not long ago, she sent me a sweet little pair of earrings or earbobs as she likes to call them. I won't mention why she sent sent them, only that she did! They arrived in their own little tin and decorated with a flower. They are called "Pale Cocoa" and they are milk chocolate and coppery luster glass pearls, tiny copper-coated borealis Czech faceted beads, with copper earwires.
Aren't they adorable? I wear them all the time; I just love them!

They are very well made and very comfortable to wear. I want to invite you to take some time to go visit this dear lady and get yourself a pair or two of her handmade-with-love, earbobs! What wonderful little gifts they would make! Just click the link http://penniwigs.blogspot.com/

Thank you Holly, I appreciate you so much and I am very thankful to have 'met' you!

REDnesday Is Here!

It's Wednesday and you know what that means; it's REDnesday again!

A month from today is Christmas Day and I am almost finished with my Christmas decorating. So I thought I would show you a few of my decorations around my home.

First of all, I gave out these magnetic note pads adorned with candy cane hearts to our Bible Study group last week. They were all propped up in this festive red Christmas basket.

A red cardinal from my son which I have sitting in a wreath.
This adorable little deer with his holly-topped head and red collar trimmed with little bells was a gift from my Mum many years ago.

This is one of my little snowpeople that sits in the kitchen window. He has his red mitts on.

Another snowperson wearing a red scarf, hat, and dress. The snowman has donned a red plaid scarf. Notice Mr. Crow sitting on his arm!

More snow people all dressed in red-trimmed scarves and hats. They are all having fun in their red sleigh.

More to come next week. Maybe I will try to show you my village that is now all set up in the Family room.

Please go see Sue at 'It's A Very Cherry World' for more reds. Just click on the link http://suelovescherries.blogspot.com/ Have a wonderful REDnesday everyone and to all my American friends; a Happy Thanksgiving!
