Could you please spare a few prayers for our friend Valerie's dog who got poisoned.   Praying Scout makes it.  It's so distressing when one of our furry family members is ill.   ((((hugs)))) to Valerie and Scout and the family.

  2. Marie thank you for today's post. I used to make those little boots and have forgotten how. They can be resurrected this Christmas.

    Thank you for your kind comment earlier today. I was dreading the results as I failed one assignment and at present have a horrible infection which making it difficult to remain positive.

    God bless.

  3. It's what they call Black Friday here and many are hitting the malls hoping to find sales on Christmas gifts. We're taking a little trip to an Amish community and I'm hoping to find a few handmade gifts. It's quite a drive to get there but it'll be fun as I'll be with one of my sons and my daughter. Hope you have a fantastic Friday!

  5. Thanks Sybil! I am so glad that you find them useful and interesting. I am cooking like mad today. I have always wanted to go to the Safari Park. I think Todd has been a long time ago. I hope you enjoy the Chinese Lantern Show! xxoo

    Suzan, I know how hard it is. I took my Medical Secretarial Course when I was 46. The AMSPAR Exam for medical terminology was the hardest thing I ever had to study for but I got a Credit with distinction so all my hard work paid off! Too bad I could never find a job doing that! I hope you feel much better soon. xxoo

    OH Pam, I hate the idea of Black Friday. It has been imported here as well, which I find a bit ludicrous as they don't even really celebrate Thanksgiving here! I hope you have a fun time with your family in Amish country. I have always wanted to go there! xxoo

    Thanks Monique. When I find something I think is really nice I just have to share it! Have a fab Friday! xoxoxo
