My Favorite Thing About Today...Happy Thanksgiving!!!


Happy Thanksgiving ALL!! Today I'm thankful I get to share with you another one of my projects from the FABULOUS Pixie Dust Paperie Pink Rose Cottage kit. Seriously...working with this Pink Rose Cottage kit has been a FAVORITE activity of mine!! I mean would you just look at these papers and colors:


Holy Moly am I in LOVE! These stickers are pretty much the CUTEST EVER, too!


I'm pretty sure it will be a favorite activity of yours, too! For those of you in the US...I hope you have a wonderful holiday tomorrow with those you love. For ALL EVERYWHERE...I hope you are spending the day with the person who is your "favorite thing about today"! I know I have said it before, but it can't be expressed too many times how VERY BLESSED I am and how thankful I am FOR EVERYTHING in my life! My greatest source of comfort and happiness is my faith...which helps me realize that ALL things work together for my good...even the things that may not seem like such a blessing at the time. I leave you with this scripture that I hope will bring you as much peace as it does to me and that you will be filled with gratitude this day for all the things you are blessed with...even the things that don't seem like such a blessing. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 HUGS, Cheryl

Remembering **Pixie Dust Paperie**


Hi all! What are you remembering today?! I am so thankful for ALL the memories in my life. If you really think about it...isn't memory such a gift from God? I love how certain sights and smells and sounds and tastes can transport me back in time and bring me to a lovely memory. Some memories might not be as pleasant, but are still of such value with the lessons we learn from them. I am happy to say that THE GREAT MAJORITY of my memories are WONDERFUL!! What a good life it is and I am so blessed as I look back and remember. I remember when I first opened my goodie box that contained the Pink Rose Cottage kit. My first response was GASP! So FAB! The papers...embellishments...EVERYTHING were what I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!



I hope you have been over to the Pixie Blog and have been seeing all the wonderful creations the DT have been putting together with it! You are going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, too! I hope you are remembering some pleasant memories today and making fabulous new ones that you will be remembering for a long time to come! HUGS, Cheryl

Hi all! Just wanted to share a few photos today of Miss Alena from her Sadie's date on Saturday. Sadie's is a school dance here where the girl asks the boy. It is a casual dance and prior to the dance a whole group of friends spends the day together doing fun things. She had a really fun time is she is just growing up so fast.







I think her favorite part of the date was having these pictures taken. haha. Yep, my girls are not camera shy. Hope you are having a fun day wherever you may be!
