Congrats on the great deal from Shutterfly. I love making projects there!
Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one--and that we both get our Christmas trees decorated soon :)
For a wife that's beautiful inside and out!
I love your gifts... I need help with shutterfly. I know I am so needy..lol
We prayed for our Operation Christmas Child kids too! I believe God divinely directs those boxes :)
So cool you saw people signing at Sky High. You'd think I'd have learned to be grateful about the senses I do have, but I forget about the deafness sometimes and seeing a blind person just humbles me.
What a great list of blessings!
great lists, girlie! among many things, i'm also thankful for silly voices that are getting along. ;)
Shutterfly is fun.
Wonderful list!
