A few goodies to share ~

A precious image for you.....

My little bird, who was left in limbo to dry last week....he has a tiny crack but I can easily smush a little more clay inside to fill it in. Then I get to paint and glitter him!

I just have to share with you something AMAZING that I won from Robelyn at Red Neck Chic!
Her custom gift wrapping is so cool ~ and I love her attention to detail ~

Here is the WONDERFUL PURSE I won from Robelyn's giveaway!!!
Can you believe all the detail???

What a gorgeous work of art Robelyn,
thank you so very much, I LOVE IT!!!!!
You can find more of her custom bags HERE....

Another wonderful package from Lorraine of Creative Daily arrived the other day ~ a sweet thank you gift...This gorgeous collage was digitally created by Lorraine and then transformed into tags! You are so sweet Lorraine, thank you so much, I LOVE them!

I love blogging....yes, it's so fun to win a giveaway,
and it's fun to HOST a giveaway too,
but most of all, the friends I've made
over the last three years are so precious to me.
Across the state, across the country and across the world!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Tired....and oh-so-full!

Funny how you rush, hurry and gather to get everything together for Thanksgiving and poof! it's over and you sit around staring, amazed at how quickly it all passes by.

We had Dennis' family's Thanksgiving dinner Thursday, a 50th birthday party for Dennis here at the house Friday night and then today my family was here for our Thanksgiving meal! Talk about tired....thank goodness Dennis loves cooking, he even made his wonderful chili for his own birthday party ~ and the turkey he cooked today was so delicious!
Mom brought all of her traditional sides and
they were as wonderful as ever.
It was so good to spend time with our boys and family...

And now we'll blink and Christmas will be upon us!
But for now, I'm ready to get back in the studio and play ~
a little creating does my heart good....

I hope you have a wonderful, restful Sunday dear friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn

My Thanksgiving sweetness.....

We had the best time with Dennis' family Thanksgiving day ~ we always do!!! (We have another Thanksgiving celebration with my family Saturday!!) The food was so delicious, and we all were so very thankful for our blessings.

This angel, my dear friends, was the most wonderful blessing of all this Thanksgiving ~

I am so thankful for each and every one of you ~
for your encouragement, your friendship and your inspiration.

So many precious friends I've made here ~ thank you.........

hugs and love,
