Thanksgiving 2009

Happy Thanksgiving to you! :)

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful day filled with lots of family, friends, and <3 felt traditions. :)

This was the very first Thanksgiving for me since my divorce this past spring and I have to admit that it was much harder to get through than I thought it was going to be. I am definitely counting the many blessing in my life starting with the prayers that God is so graciously answering for me as well as my wonderful support system that I have in place...aka...my Family & Friends. :)

I originally wanted to post my 7 days of thanks like I did last year but the days just kinda snuck on by before I realized what had happened. So here I sit posting this msg late in the evening on Thanksgiving day, hoping it finds you well, and trying to decide if I'm going to hit any of the Black Friday sales in the morning...I'm actually thinking I may stay away...LOL! Afterall, I do cherish my life. :P

Anyways, thank you so much for making my blog a success as well as supporting me in my Close To My Heart business. You are the <3 of my business and am I am looking forward to helping you make the most out of your memories. xoXox <3

Girl facts vs. Boy facts

I want to thank my BFF Louise for sending this Girl facts vs. Boys facts stuff over to me. Too funny! :)

Girl facts:
When she wants a hug, she will just stand there.
When you break a girls heart, she still feels it when you run into each other 3 years later.
When a girl is quiet, millions of things are running through her mind.
When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.
When a girl looks at you with eyes full of questions, she is wondering how long you will be around.
When a girl answers, "I'm fine" after a few seconds, she is not fine at all.
When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are so wonderful.
When a girl lays her head on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a girl says that she can't live without you, she has made up her mind that you are her future.
When a girl says, "I miss you" no one in this world can miss you more than that.
When a girl is mean to you after a breakup she wants you back, but she's scared she'll get hurt and knows you're gone forever.

Guy Facts:
When a guy calls you, he wants to be with you.
When a guy is quiet, he's listening to you.
When a guy is not arguing, he realizes he's wrong.
When a guy says, "I'm fine" after a few minutes, he means it.
When a guy stares at you, he wishes you would care about him and wonders if you do.
When you're laying your head on a guy's chest, he has the world
When a guy calls you everyday, he is in love.
When a good guy tells you he loves you, he means it.
When a guy says he can't live without you, he's with you till you're done.
When a guy says, "I miss you" he misses you more than you could have ever missed him or anything else.

A friendly Blog Award!

My AWESOME upline, Tina Sutton, and my AWESOME friend, Melanie Boyer, sent me this sweet award, and I am ever so grateful and privileged to receive it from them. :o)

This is what the award is all about: It is given to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These bloggers are not interested in increasing their own status, but rather aim to find friends and be friends. The hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are born! Now it's my turn to pass this award on to five of my blogging friends in no particular order. It is with great joy that I do so:

Michelle - She blogs about her family and her CTMH business and is just a very funny and smart girl to hang out with. She is so much fun!
Chris - My next door neighbor and super sweet gal! She is very creative and a great mom. Love to check in on what she's up to. :)
Tammy - A really strong woman with lots of fabulous ideas and a huge heart! Can't wait to see her at the next corporate event!
Amy - The most sweetest girl EVER! She has a big heart, fun ideas, is a wonderful mom and wife...I cannot say enough nice words about this very fun gal. I miss you Amy!
Bren - Full of inspirtation, spirit, and heart. This woman is simply amazing! :)

Be sure to visit these gals. I know you will want to follow them to keep up with the charm, fun posts, and their amazing artwork!
