October 2008

Hope your Halloween is frightfully FUN!

10 things I'm working on right now:

1.washing, folding, and putting away a mountain of laundry (with a helper!)

2.preparing for the winter with a cleaned out and organized coat closet

3.sewing cozy pj's and putting flannel sheets on the beds

4.writing a fun, new class for Big Picture Scrapbooking

5.teaching our puppy how to walk next to me on her leash (not so easy!)

6.thinking about our Christmas list and the gifts that I want to make

7.making a scrapbook of last summer's family vacation to Washington DC

8.baking homemade chocolate chip cookies (by request)

9.making food and decorating for my *almost* 14 year old son's Halloween bash

10.creating a cool birthday gift for my dad

Whew! Time to get off the computer and get in gear! :)

Make it a great day!

grateful....

for our new arrival : Guinivere, our brand new Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy...

....and the surprise that she helped us deliver to three kids who've waited and thought this day would never come....

...and the joy, laughter,smiles, and tenderness that she adds to our family....

and the love that she fills our hearts with everyday....we are grateful.
