10 Things I'm Thankful For

     I don't think we do enough "thanking" in our world today...so below are my top 10 - What I'm Thankful For List!  ~  Enjoy!

1.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to be going back to school.  At times it is hard...but I'm glad I get to give it one more go!

    2.  I'm thankful for my children.  They are so wonderful...I couldn't have asked for better kids to raise!

            3.  I'm thankful for my many talents.  I just love to create art, sing and use my hands to do what is in my head, and then of course share it with others.

4.  I'm thankful for my car.  Now this may seem a simple thing, but without my car....I can't do the things I really need to do.  I love you Little Blue!

    5.  I'm thankful for my membership and testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I have absolutely no idea how people cope with the world today without Him!!

                 6.  I'm thankful for my health.  I know this a cliche...but it's true...I'm glad I can walk and not faint and run and not be weary.  (I'm not sure about doing stairs...but I try! :o)

  7.  I'm thankful for my parents.  They taught me right from wrong and have always been a tremendous strenght in my life.  I love you mommy and daddy!

       8.  I'm thankful for my country...I AM CANADIAN!!!  Need I say more?

                             9.  I'm thankful for people who inspire me to do my best and to be my best.

10.  I'm thankful for my bed.  Strange yes....silly even...but oh how I LOVE my bed.  It's so soft and comfy...especially when I have a great book to read!!  :o)
   

Top 10 LOVES

Well, I've been reading about how to get more traffic to your blog, and since this is a new blog...I'm determined to bring "followers" with me.  So, here is one of my lists of my 10 most favorite LOVES in life.

1.  Vintage...anything old, shabby, worn, cracked, chipped, antique or very well used!

2.  The PERFECT day...late summer, blue sky with no clouds, leaves just turning but still on the trees, not too hot, not too cold, just a warm light breeze - by the lake.

3.  Red licorace...I need to bridle my passion for this one...I could sit and eat the whole bag, so I don't buy it very often.

4.  Cherries...anything and everything...need I say more?

5.  Designing and making wall quilts.  I'm starting to use mix media merging with scrapbooking inspirations to do art wall quilts.  I'm really enjoying the journey.

6. My favorite time of day...Dusk.

7.  Being a Canadian.  I feel so blessed to live in Alberta, Canada.

8. Being at the lake.  As a kid, I was like a fish in water; you had to get a net to get me out of the lake.  There is something so peaceful about the water that I love.

9. Romantic movies, but they have to be a special romance, not just one of those chic flicks.  The story has to be sincer and deep...like Jane Eyer, Pride and Predjudice, or Sense and Sensability.

10. Making and creating things to share with others.
