Ornament that I got in a swap!

Mannheim Steamroller here I come!

Good Morning Peeps~
Today is a fine day for this gal...A friend and I are going to go Christmas shopping in Kearney Ne. today and then at 4 pm we are attending the Mannheim Steamroller concert.  Now I don't know about you but this is exactly what I need to get me into the Christmas Spirit.  I love their music!  18 years ago my husband (boyfriend at the time) went to see them in Omaha on New Year's Eve...they was fabulous then and continue to bring the warm holiday feeling into our home.  I intend to do a pre holiday giveaway starting next week...I am not sure all what I will provide, but it will be good.
Hope you all have a great weekend...

Blessings~

Being Thankful

Happy November Peeps~

Hello blogland, hope everyone had a spooky and SWEET Halloween...it was a relaxing day and then our 9 year old son and a friend of his went trick or treating as Mario and Luigi...it was too cute!    I will post a picture following this post.
I want to emphasize the importance of being Thankful...esp. with being November and the month of Thanksgiving...I know I have a ton of blessings in my life and am thankful for them all...so with that I want to be see how many read my blog and for you to list 3 of your blessings or anything that you are thankful for...I know that we all can get busy in our lives and need to take a step back and cherish these blessings more and more...
I hope that you will do this...and along with that, my BIG family Holiday craft show we have at my sister's home is this Saturday...so looking forward to seeing everyone and hoping that all our customers and many more come out...Its called Cranberry Christmas Holiday Boutique...
Have a great day...looking forward to hearing from you...
