Gratitude


I've been inspired by other peoples blogs lately where they post about things they are thankful for and I think that is something that I need to do more of.  Here's a run-down of 10 things I'm thankful for in no particular order:
1.  Craig
2. Baby Grace- I wish she would come soon
3.  Our cozy apartment
4.  A job that I love!
5.  A car that is almost paid off-- woot!
6.  Supportive family and friends
7.  My testimony and how in rough times it is has always supported me.
8.  Clothes that fit (hopefully soon)
9.  My camera- I saved up for a whole year for that baby and I love it!
10.  Coupons- weird yes, but do you know how much money a year I save with them!?

POTD hiatus

It's pretty pathetic when I give up my project after just a couple of weeks.  I do have an excuse..I have had a horrible rash due to my pregnancy that itches like crazy and honestly I couldn't focus on anything else except getting relief.  My doctor gave me a pill though that is helping to calm it, not cure it but make life a little more manageable.  So here is my picture update:

My Halloween costume

Every Tuesday at 4 I get to see this little device and listen to my baby girls heartbeat- what a miracle

Have you ever seen a fall tree with 3 colors- I love it

My new favorite color scheme- yellow and red, I wonder if Craig will let me paint our kitchen this color??

This looks like it came out of a magazine, just missing someone in a blankie on the chair reading a book.


What I've been busy making.  My grandma sends out 100+ cards to family every year so I try to make her cards at Christmas to help her out.  This design I used my sewing machine and added cutouts from the Cricut, I think they turned out pretty cute.


Results of the rash, this is the only documentation I'm keeping becuase I don't want to remember it.  PS none of these things really worked.

A cute find- this is a present I'm sending to my sis on a mission in Puerto Rico, I found these cute mongrammed cards in the dollar section at Michaels, can you beat it??
