Happy Thanksgiving

 The turkey is in the oven and the house smells amazing!

Taking a moment to reflect on how much I have to be grateful for. Children who are employed and own their own homes. Everyone is healthy. There are two grandchildren who keep us very busy and bring smiles and joy. 

We are celebrating Christmas with our son today as we will be heading to Arizona next week. He made these turkeys in 2nd grade

I am also grateful to those of you who stop by just to look and or to leave comments! I appreciate you. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello

  Hello!

Let me reintroduce myself. Seems I have been gone and neglected my poor blog! 

Life is busy especially now with 2 grandchildren. Lauren is 7 and Reilly is 5. They reside in Arizona which means we have been spending quite a bit of time there. For the past 5 years we have rented and or stayed with the kids for most of the winter. 

I am happy to say we now own a condo in Chandler! It is close to the grandkid's house and their school. We got it all furnished in the two weeks we were there in August. We will be heading back out there shortly for most of the winter. 

This had obviously impacted my creative time but I did just participate in the Rogue river Artists Association Holiday Art Market. It was a great show and I happily sold many of my cards as well as a few paintings. 

I am still trying to get some scrapping done as well. I have SOOOO many photos of the grandkids that I will never be caught up!

Here are this year's  first day of school pics and the annual school photos.
