What a Wonderful Holiday!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We really did. Christmas Eve with Greg's family was one of the nicest holiday's with them ever. Greg's mom was certainly with us! Greg's dad was happy and so pleasant to be with. He even posed for photos with each on of his grandkids. This has never happened!!
Christmas Day was our usual enjoyable morning just the four of us. The girls were fun and happy. Late in the afternoon we went to my sisters for an amazing dinner and wonderful family time.
I am so blessed to have my family. I love each and every one!!

And the award goes to.....
ME! For the worst blogger in Kalamazoo! Life has interrupted this blogger. So, let's see... October I had shoulder surgery. One week later I had a terrible cold. One week later I had a horrible stomach issue that lasted for over a month and involved several doctor visits. In between all that, I had PT (pain and torture) for my shoulder. It still hurts, two months after surgery. I am a very positive person, but this is dragging me down and I'm beginning to think I will never have the range of motion I want. Then of course we had Thanksgiving. I cooked. It was delicious.
Then we cut our Christmas tree. I decorated it. It is beautiful.
Since then I've shopped, baked, wrapped, celebrated a wee much, and worked and worked and worked at the office! My work laptop has decided that it doesn't want to work any more. This is a problem, as my boss doesn't feel the same!! So, needless to say, as much as I'd love to be blogging and catching up on my blog reading, it just isn't going to happen quite yet. Maybe next week. I begin my two week holiday break on December 22nd. I can hardly wait to sleep in!!! :))
Happy Holidays to everyone in blog - land. I hope Santa brings you just what you want this year!

Pin Cushions
I saw this general idea on a blog recently. Again, I am so bad about giving credit where it's due. I'm sorry - I don't remember which blog. But the idea is darling.
I bought a dozen mini jelly jars.
Then I cut a circle out of fabric that was larger than the lid of the jar.
Then I put some fiberfill in the middle of the fabric and put the lid on top.
Then I used some hot glue and I glued the fabric to the rim of the lid, tucking all the fiberfill under the lid.
After that I cut a circle of cardstock to glue over the rough edge on the bottom of the lid. But, I forgot to take a photo of that!
Then I put the lid thru the ring of the jar and pop it on the jar. Stick a few pins in the puffy top and store the rest of the pins in the little jar.
Stinkin' Cute!!

Fabulous Fall
It's been such a beautiful fall!
Here are a few photos of our trip to the cider mill and the pumpkin patch.
I made these adorable mini caramel apple bites.
They were too cute, but the caramel didn't stick to the apple!
Amazing fall colors!
Our visit to Gene the Pumpkin Man!
Allison and Lexie went straight to carving the pumpkins!
They chose the non-traditional carving and I think they
turned out adorable!
Happy Fall!

What's New?
Well, I just had shoulder surgery, that's new. It's a painful recovery, but I'm only on the 4th day and I'm hoping that each day this week is better and better. I have physical therapy tomorrow that I'm really not looking forward to. What I am looking forward to is being pain free!!
Greg has been amazing. He has taken wonderful care of me. I appreciate him so very much.
The other new thing is that I have just become an Independent Consultant for Thirty One Gifts! I'm super excited! My kit should arrive tomorrow and my first party is October 26th. If you've never heard of Thirty-One, you really need to check it out. Here's my website: www.mythirtyone.com/39999. We sell purses and tote bags and gifts and most things can be personalized. The quality is great and the prices are too. I fell in love with the product and had almost every page of the catalog flagged. That's when I decided to do it! If you find something you love, let me know. I can do a book party, web party or regular home party for those that live in the area. If you ever need a gift or know someone that would like Thirty One, please pass my name along. I'm really hoping this will be a successful business!
