We had a fabulous Thanksgiving! My Mom spent a week with me and my sons, bonus daughter and my sweet GRAND daughters were here for a few days! I couldn't ask for a better holiday!!!!
I am very thankful for the time I had with all of them. My Mom left this morning and now it is back to reality. Not going in my craft room for a week was very hard for me. Lots of ideas are running through my mind. I really should be decorating for Christmas and cleaning my house, but that will come later today. Priorities, right?!?!?
The Freshly Made Sketches Challenge was so inviting, I just had to play along. I only have a few hours until the deadline, but I am thrilled to be able to enter.
