Blessed Easter

Thankful Thursday

So many things to be thankful for on this day. Here's five:
1. The weather is getting warmer.
2. I received a good reply to an e-mail I sent to several ladies.
3. My son called very excited about his future.
4. I can still get paczkis for one more week.

5. The thrift store had dozens of new books.

Vintage Friday

This week's Vintage Friday is greeting cards found at an antique shop. I plan on using these cards as my own greeting cards. One is not written in so I just need to find an envelope. The other two I will use with scrapbooking supplies and make them new again.

This card has a hand written note on the back. It was originally sent in 1944.

Vintage Friday

I have had this small plaque for as long as I can remember. My sister told me it was a gift from our father when we were toddlers. It has hung in my bedroom in each house I've lived in. In the late 70's we had a fire that destroyed my bedroom but the plaque was only slighty scorched around the edge. On the back my father had written our names and you can still see them.

Thankful Thursday

Today on WMBI they referred to this as Thankful Thursday. I like that. I started to think about what I was thankful for. Of course I'm thankful for my family, my health and my Savior. But there are many other things that are unique to me and to this day.
Today I am thankful for the gift of sewing. I'm thankful that my hands did not hurt and I was able to work on a gift for my friend Michele. I'm thankful that I was able to take a walk this morning and the sun was shining while I was out. I'm thankful that Kylie held my hand when she got off the bus. It is good to spend a few minutes thinking about all the blessings we receive each day. What are you thankful for today?
