Happy Sunday.
Today I am thankful for a lot. I am thankful for our veterans who fight for me to be free. I have many friends whose husbands are in the military, Tony's dad was a Marine and my uncle was also in the military.
I am thankful that I have the means to be able to make this post today to give thanks for all that I have. I have a roof over my head and food on my table. My children laugh and play every day. I am thankful that they have the freedom to do so.
I am thankful for the mistakes that I have made in my life to bring to me where I am today.
I am thankful for my job and my cars that I have that allow me to get to my job.
Speaking of my job, so my love of crafting got me a day of paid time off on Monday. LOL! So we have a mandatory meeting in December, it's like a Christmas party but we HAVE to attend and we get paid for it. Well the theme is ugly sweater. I work for a bank and there are 8 branches within our market so we wanted to do something with the ugly sweater thing as a team. We couldn't find inexpensive sweaters so we decided to all wear turtle necks. I can't remember the last time I wore one of those. LOL! So my task is to decorate the turtle necks to "make them ugly." So I get off on Monday, paid day off, to stay home and decorate the shirts. In addition we have to put on a skit, we have to chose a scene from a Christmas movie (one where all 11 of us at our branch can be in it) and change the words of that scene to be bank related. Somehow I was put in charge of that. Now this is going to cause me to think outside the box because I am a paper crafter not a movie writer. LOL!! So if any of you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
I will show you the shirts when I am done. I have to "alter" 11 turtle necks to make them ugly. Wish me luck, lol.
Anywho,

For all that I am thankful for I made extra sure that I gave back this Thanksgiving holiday. I donated money to charities to feed families for the holiday. I am trying to give back as much as I can because so many people helped me out over the years, especially when I was a single mom for about 6 years.
I am thankful that I have off on Sundays so I can watch football. (lol)
I am thankful to have the next two days off so hopefully I can fee better. I came home from work last night and took some medicine and went to bed, I got a pretty awesome nights sleep.
And as always I am thankful for all of you. I am thankful that each month I get to announce a winner of my sketch challenge. :-)
So the winner of this month's sketch challenge is:
Libeeti from Creations with Love
Please email me with your December kit selection and your mailing address. :-)

Today I am thankful for my church where I can worship freedom and get closer to God and understand the Bible better.

Congrats to Li-bee-ti!!!! :)
Hmmmmmmmmmm... I am thinking the scene from "It's A Wonderful Life" when they are all at George's house at the end and friends and family are bringing money to George to help him save his Savings & Loan :) You could have everyone wearing the 'ugly' turtlenecks and a scene where everyone is coming to George's house to 'help' him financially -- and "Mr. Potter's bank" is a "bad" competing bank of yours -- and how your friends, employees, and family are the 'good bank' that help each other :)
Good luck on the turtlenecks :)
I am thankful that I live in this country!
congrats Libeeti :)
Leeanne i hope your feeling better soon.
Ahh, I'm thankful for my 4 days off! *phew* sometimes you just need some down time!!!
Congrats to Libeeti for the win too!
Congrats to Libeeti! She makes the loveliest of LOs :)
