Happy Holidays and another give-away!

Hello to all of my scrappy friends! Merry Christmas!! I hope you are having a very warm, safe and cozy Christmas...

I have been having a wonderful time with my family and friends. It is currently 9:00 am here in good ole Colorado and the kids are STILL ASLEEP! I am shocked! They have never slept this late on Christmas morning. We're usually up at the crack of dawn... each year it's always the same; I have to make coffee before I do anything! Not just on Christmas morning, but ANY morning. The kids wait with excruciating anxiety shaking packages, looking at the tags seeing whose name is listed and approximately every 2 minutes I hear, "Mom, is the coffee ready yet!?"

Well not this year!! I have already had my coffee, I have cleaned up a bit from last night's festivities and I am sitting her twiddling my thumbs! :-) There is no doubt they're getting older. We've reached a milestone here. Kids sleeping in on Christmas morning is an indication that my babies are not really "babies" anymore, as my youngest is 11, and the oldest is 17. Nevertheless, I am sure they'll be up very soon and the next set of festivities will begin.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a blessed and beautiful day! No matter how you celebrate the holiday season, I hope it's filled with love and happiness. I hope you're left with fabulous memories of another Christmas-gone-by. I am so very blessed!! Each time I start to think that my life might not be so great I slap myself right back into reality quickly because I have a healthy family, a warm home, a fridge full of food, all my scrapbooking stuff, a car, and so much more. All of these things remind me that my life isn't meant to be taken for granted. Life is truly good!

Now, on to the "give-away"! All you have to do is post a comment under THIS post!
