A Special Announcement and a Surprise!


Only thirteen days left!  How is your

THANKFUL-O-METER???
 

















 




I am still just shocked that the holiday season is upon us!

But, it is a wonderful time of the year, and one I will
always look forward to!  Just have to slow down,
soak it all in, and enjoy every moment!
I have to tell you, my heart is so overflowing with thankfulness!

Remember when I said our oldest daughter and her family
moved...about 6 months ago...and that I was praying for God's
will and not for my own {of course He did know what I wanted}
{smile}

WELL, not only are they moving back to Florida...

in 3 weeks....


SHE ALSO HAS A BISCUIT IN THE OVEN!!

YES, A SECOND GRANDY ON THE WAY!!!

IS GOD AMAZING OR WHAT????

I'm telling you, my heart is just soooo full with thanks for so
many things! 

He has answered so many prayers, and yet some still haven't come
into fruition yet...with the emphasis on YET!!  But that is fine and
dandy...it helps me exercise my faith muscle!!  And I don't ever
want to have weak faith!  Thank you Lord, for all of life's challenges,
that are merely opportunities for growing to be more like You!!

OK, MORE SURPRISES!!  ISN'T THIS FUN???

I have decided to have a few different giveaways!!!  More opportunities 
to win!!  WOOHOO!!  Gotta LOVE that!!

The first one is for one of these babies!!!!



 











How does a little extra cash in your purse sound?
Like cha ching??!!

I am extending the giveaway period to next Wednesday!

All you have to do is comment to be entered!

THE ONLY RULE is that you are only allowed 5 entries!

I'll be posting giveaway #2 this weekend and then there will

be a THIRD giveaway Monday evening!!


AND TOMORROW FOR ALL OF YOU who think
you are not creative, and can't make anything...

I have the most perfect DIY gift idea that ANYONE can do and best of all...

IT IS SO INEXPENSIVE AND LOVELY!!

Have a wonderful evening and keep
commenting for more chances to win!!



Blessings and Hugs, Becky

  1. Hi Beck,
    Yea, I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away. Am gonna start making my menu plan tonight. Talked with the kids and hubby today to see what items they really wanted, cause I am not doing Turkey, most of us don't really like it, and I have a chicken dish that we all adore, so we are going untraditional in the Turkey way at least!! lol Hopefully, we are going grocery shopping tomorrow and I can get all the unrefrigerated items then, so I will only have to go back later for fresh stuff.
    Now gotta think of another tablescape for Thanksgiving, am already thinking of one of Megan's birthday, so I am brain storming......about to break my wee brain I'm afraid!! lol

    Nice that you got the go ahead to share your good news.......nice they will be here in time for Christmas. Bet Sam is gonna be one happy girl to see her Mom and family.

    Sounds like all is well at your house. Good News!! nothing like it!!

    Just finished making a big pot of Beef veggie soup, first time to do this recipe, so sure hope it is good!!
    Have a great weekend sweetie,
    Love ya, Nellie

  13. Thanks so much for your very sweet comment. I agree...our friendship was always such a blessing, and I am so glad that in His sovereignty, God allowed us to reconnect through this wonderful world of blogging.

    I am SOOOOO thrilled about your news!!!! How wonderful that they are moving back AND that they will be giving you another little grandchild to dote on. I am HUGELY rejoicing with you.

    Would you keep praying that God would open doors and make a way for our family to return home too. My in-laws want us back home just as much as you have longed for your gang to come back.

    Oh, like you, I'm a salty gal. If you gave me a choice between cookies, ice cream, or potato chips, I'll pick the potato chips EVERY time. I LOVE salty stuff.

    Again, rejoicing with you...and thanking God for his grace and mercy.

    Love you!!!
    Patti
