Thankful - Day 18

I'm thankful for a wide variety of fabrics that allow me to make unique quilts. There are many great quilters whose blogs, classes, friendship and sharing I have learning from. For this I'm grateful. I have wonderful tools, such as a cool sewing machine, a spiffy bright light, cutters, rulers, fancy pins, special feet that keep me accurate and tons of books, magazines and websites to help inspire me with their creative pictures of wonderful quilts.

Thankful - Day 16 (the missing day)

I'm thankful for...

1. Misty - the cat
2. the Carnival is gone (it was in the field behind our house - very noisy, stinky and just plain icky)
3. my new bluetooth dongle (if you don't know, don't ask)

Thankful - Days 14 & 15 (or something like that)

I'm thankful for...

1. the realization that all blessings come from God
2. the hope of eternal life because of the debt paid on my behalf by Jesus when He died on the cross.
3. the Holy Spirit who prompts, guides, helps and comforts me.
4. that my husband is alive and well in this week when I've learned about the husbands of others I know who have died or been diagnosed with cancer.
   
5. my old bible...the one I got on my 16th birthday.
6. memories of loved ones that I seldom or never see any longer.
   

Thankful - Day 13

I'm thankful for...

1. Dish TV - a great distraction while folding laundry
   
2. Saturdays - time to catch up
3. Strawberry shortcake - not the doll, but the tasty stuff with the cute little round sweet spongy cakes and cool whip.
   

Thankful - Day 11

I'm thankful...

1. Corn beef and cabbage a few days early -yum!
2. quilt guild
3. my co-worker who shared her chocolate - another yum!

It's starting to look like it's all about the tummy and the taste buds. I need to focus on things other than food.

Thankful - Days 9 & 10

It's probably not ideal, but I'm going two day's of thankfulness on one post :O).

I'm thankful for...

1. my health. Though I'm a little heavier than I'd like to be I am basically healthy.
2. my dishwasher. Nuf said.
3. precious things that belonged to my mom, who's no longer with us.
4. the library. They great stuff including books, cd's, videos, magazines, helpful people, etc.
5. considerate neighbors who leave the spot in front of the house open for our vehicle.
6. encouraging words from those around me most.

My time is really being sapped these days by my efforts to learn/streamline coupon use in order to reap the most benefits from the least time. The learning curve is steep, but there are many sites that I go to regularly to help me out. My goal is to actually keep within our grocery budget this month - what a concept! I think I just might do it.

Thankful - Day 8

I'm thankful for...

1. my husband still has a job
   
2. CVS Extra Bucks - I'm just starting to learn how to take advantage of this.
3. Dancing with the Stars - good, clean fun (usually).

Number 1 is a big yeah.
