30 Days of Gratitude: November 28th

 Math Night at school and Jo Club at the shop, grateful for the fullness of life (and my calendar) and some Beaujolais left in the bottle. This night I am grateful for especially for a grade level partner that plans and executes such wonderful, supportive programs for the parents. While I am a filling participant, I cannot begin to organize such an undertaking. Also so very grateful for employees that can and choose to pick up the slack when I am over committed. Life being full is wonderful, being full with so much support is really a blessing!

  Grateful for Thanksgiving leftovers especially on the Monday after the long Thanksgiving weekend. No conferences, report cards not due yet, all means that Christmas decorating will occur and I may even get in a nap!! So very grateful on this last Monday of November!

30 Days of Gratitude: November 26th

 Grateful this Sunday after Thanksgiving for leftover pie. There is nothing like leftover pie for breakfast! This particular Sunday after Thanksgiving also has me NOT preparing for conferences or report cards. A beautiful Sunday that I can focus on holiday decorating, football, and just laying low!

30 Days of Gratitude: November 25th

 Small Business Saturday, 2017, a fun, busy day at the quilt shop. We planned a series of demos that never played out but that didn't stop us from having a great sale day and an awful lot of fun with everyone that stopped by.So very grateful for this community and the opportunity to play with fabric as we reorganized the shop yet again. Christmas moved up and fall moved down as we entertained ourselves and everyone that walked through the door. 

30 Days of Gratitude: November 24th

 Grateful for holiday traditions, memories from a lifetime ago and no need to shop on Black Friday! A quiet Friday evening at home after a busy Black Friday at the shop. Just grateful for all of it.

30 Days of Gratitude: November 23rd

Just like that, it was Thanksgiving Day. Grateful this special day for family, friends and a good sense of humor. You see, our guests arrived while I was still in my jammies. Not a coordinated and sexy set of jammies, but too short fleece bottoms, a ho ho ho shirt and my wildly cute Bunkey black and white striped ladybug slipper socks. Well, it is what it is...a wonderful day filled with blessings!

30 Days of Gratitude: November 22nd

 Grateful for a deliciously wonderful autumn day before Thanksgiving. A half day at school and gorgeous weather made it much easier to tackle the last of the errands that needed to be run and still arrive home before 4. It was a busy afternoon and evening at our house but the perfect weather made it that much easier to prepare for our guests!
