A Week of Thanks and Giving Challenge


It will soon be American Thanksgiving. Though I am Canadian and we had our Thankgiving in October, I would like to take part in this challenge, since Amber at Amber's Altered Art has invited international bloggers to take part. Thank you, Amber.

The Thanks and Giving Challenge is simple. This is what Amber had to say, "I would like to start off this challenge with a Thanks and a Giving for the next 7 days...and extend it to all my blog friends to do the same...then post a link here to your blog..."

So, today I am thankful for being able to spend time with my grandsons. The boys and I are very close and we enjoy spending time together. I am also thankful for all the blessings that I receive each day.

Now for the gift - This beautiful graphic that is actually one of the Thanksgiving postcards from my collection. Enjoy!

  7. Denise,

    I'm so glad your father is home. I know what it's like to have high blood pressure - not fun. Thanks for letting me know he is okay. I continue to pray for him and you and the rest of your family.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  10. Lady Di,

    The sneak Meeko onto the bed and couch every chance they get. LOL They have fun thinking they are putting one over on me and I usually let them get away with it. You have to get away with something when you're a kid.

    Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy visiting with you.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  12. Mary,

    You are such a giving person. I am thankful that you are my friend!

    I was ready through the comments and had to smile when I saw your response to Lady Di about letting the boys think they are putting one over on you by sneaking Miko into the bed! I can just picture that. I agree, sometimes you have to let kids get away with something. :-)

    Have a great day!
    Love and hugs,
    Tina
