Happy New Year FMS 114

December 2, 2013

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.
