Thinking of Thanking AND Crafts, Recipes and Cool Stuff

I was thinking today that I have a lot to be thankful for this year. SOOOO SOOOO SOOOOO MUCH!!! I thought that it would be good to list a few of the things that I am MOST thankful.

1- A Loving Heavenly Father

2- A Wonderful Savior

3- The Hubby and the kids

4- My extended family

5- A wonderfully loving church family, especially Momma Hope.

6- The Hubby's new job

7- My new found sewing "skills" (such as they are)

8- My AWESOME readers

9- Packers so I don't have to pack a thing

10- Pain killers because my tooth is acting up again



And since I am thinking of thanking, that leads me to Thanksgiving! Right around the corner!!!! I thought that I would dig through my Pinterest boards and see what wonderful goodies are lurking in there for this special holiday.

Here we go!





As it says, it was compiled by In Lieu of Preschool.

I think I would add a few though, The Giving Tree,  I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie and Pilgrim Cat.
