December Joy!!!

It's that most wonderful time of year!! Don't know about all of you but I love this month. It's not just Christmas, because not everyone celebrates that..but it's the feelings that are around us. The smiles, (I know even in the longest line at the department store) the smiles are there, say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays if you prefer and a warm smile will be returned to you.

This is also the month of surprises, brightly wrapped gifts, (admit it, you do shake them right?)

Well, I have some surprises for you all, (No shaking allowed) and I hope you enjoy them. I have put together "25 Days of Random Thoughts" for you. Just a hint....you never know what might be in the package!! This is just an extra one to get you started. You can download it here

By the way who knows what other surprises are being planned LOL

Hi everyone

Thanks to all who stopped in. I have some stuff I have been working on and will have it up here soon. Hey it's Christmas the time for surprises and presents LOL See you all in a few!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all

Hope your Turkey Day is filled with family, friends, joy and to many blessings to count!
I will be back with some surprises for you starting next week. Till then, take care and please know that I count you all as part of my blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!!! :)

To start the Season...

Do you put your tree up so you have it for Thanksgiving? Or do you wait till Christmas Eve? At our house I go into full Christmas mode the first weekend in December...we cut our tree down the week before and I clean and get things ready..then the boxes come out..oh the boxes!! And the lights, if your like me you put them away so carefully the year before and then some little elf comes in and tangles them all up!! Yup it's an elf I am sure of it!! It's a tradition here that Hubby leaves me alone with the lights, he is afraid I think LOL!! Anyway hope you can use this bit of mine, enjoy it and have fun with those lights!! You can download it here

Christmas Cards

Thought I would try something different. My daughter always goes to a local store at Christmas and has cards made from a photo to send as cards. These are png files basically use them like a qp and then print them out on white card stock. If you do download them, please let me know if you have any problems with them. I did print them out on reg paper but being low on ink didn't give me the best results. So let me know ok? I want to thank Miss Gerri for the beautiful Christmas element she shared with us. She does such a great job on these. There are two downloads and you can get them here and also here

In your Heart...

Had a long weekend with 2 of the grandkids and had wanted to get this out earlier...not so easy with a 3 year old taking up most of your time and an 11 year old taking up your computer LOL

Hope you can use this bit of thought. Just feeling a little sentimental today. You can download this bit here As always enjoy the smiles your search thru your photos brings you and please leave one for me.

More Thanksgiving bits for you

Actually maybe this could fit any day, not just Thanksgiving. We shouldn't wait till a special day to tell people around us that they are important or that we are thankful for them. So hope this brings you smiles as you find that one photo that fits. Leave me one of those smiles please, I count each one as a part of my blessings.

I added some things to my TOU, it is also here on my blog. Please read and understand why I felt I had to do this. Take care and you can download this bit here
