Have you

lately?


Sometimes,
it helps it to see them written
in black and white...

I'm enjoying the rest of the long weekend
I hope you are doing the same....

Happy Thanksgiving...

to all!

we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them~

Weather Update...

Since I wrote my letter to Mr. Warm Weather, we have had nothing but perfect weather!...

I guess being polite and saying please, pretty please, really works!

Now I'm in a roll!...
Who should I write my next letter to??

Dear Mrs. World Peace...
Dear Mr. Economy...

Will be back later with our White Wednesday post.
See you then!

Thanksgiving Day....

when our hearts are conscious of our treasures"

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and your family!

We've got an award!

We have received a Friendship Award from Bev, from "My creative world"
and we are Oh!!! So Happy!!!!

“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Now we pass this award on to the following great blogs:

TGIF Freebie!

Who doesn't like Fridays and who doesn't love a Freebie????...Well, we certainly do! To celebrate the beginning of the week end, we will be posting free images every Friday. Feel free to use them in your digital collages, print them, copy them, but please, don't sell them (individually or as part of a set). Not too many free things these days, so let's keep it that way!

This week two vintage images of two very different Ladies....

Don't forget to sign and follow our blog, if you haven't done it already, and stop by every Friday for your TGIF Freebie!

That's why we call it the Present."
