We've lost the security of full-time jobs, but we've managed to keep going, keep the bills paid, and keep the family happily going strong.
We've had a son diagnosed with Aspergers and experienced the shock that comes with that initial diagnosis. But we've found support that works for us.
We are thankful for good amazing friends, and great family, and we know that we are truly blessed.
I feel personally blessed to have found the community and creative outlet that I have found in blogging and to all my bloggy friends - I want to say a special Thank You to you this holiday season.
I love that you guys follow me not because there's a chance to win something, but because there is some connection you feel to the experiences and sentiments I express here in my little corner of the blogosphere. To you, I offer a little token of my appreciation during this season of thanksgiving and sharing. I'd love to give something to each of you, but my little pockets don't run quite deep enough. Yet. :-)
So to one of you, I will be sending two beautiful necklaces from
She has lots to choose from, from inspirational thoughts
to the whimsical
the beautiful
and popular characters

I'd love to win these necklaces.
Although, you know I love you even if you don't give me anything.
You are so sweet!! So glad to have met you through the blogosphere!
BTW, for some reason I can never view your blog in IE so I have to switch to Firefox. Has anyone else mentioned the same issue to you?
@BeingMe Good luck sweetie! You are such a kind and loyal bloggy friend.
@UnknownMami - you know we gotz da love, no matter what! :-)
@Helene - Whhhhyyy! Yes I do know about the problem with Blogger and IE. And I know it's not just me. And not for nothing can I get any Blogger help to fix it, and I know I've lost readers because of it, which makes me very sad.
I'm workin on it...
Hugs everyone!
I'm definitely interested!
I voted for you on PBD today! Your kids are simply gorgeous...you are indeed blessed!
p.s. I checked out the raverly.com site you suggested. I don't know how to knit or crochet, but have always wanted to! If I have the time/talent I would love to buddy with you!
Those are the cutest necklaces!
And I know what you mean about counting your blessings. Sometimes it's hard to do, but I'm trying... :)
And without the additional support of my blog and my blog friends (like you!) it would be even more difficult!
Happy holdidays to you and your family! Wishing you the best!
