Happy Thanksgiving and New Goodies

Good Wednesday morning to you all..

I'm taking the weekend off so this will be my last post until Monday.  I imagine a lot of you here in the states are already starting to prepare for Thanksgiving..I think my friend Carol (Crops2dawn) is knee high in potatoes since she is fixing 25 lbs of twice cooked potatoes for her family dinner tomorrow..oh and she won the war...they are having the traditional dinner instead of Clams..LOL

It will be a quiet day here tomorrow..The boys are going to their dads for lunch and my cousin is taking my mom and I out to eat.  Angie and her family are coming down Friday for the weekend.  We will be at my Moms Saturday for Thanksgiving and we are having finger foods.. all kinds of goodies.. and we are all watching the big game..Auburn vs Alabama..the BIGGEST GAME of the year for most people in Alabama and a lot of other places too!

It should be a loud fun day and a sad one for some, joyous for others..Auburn has a 6 year winning streak going but our season has not been a good one...Alabama is undefeated..sooooo---I'm not doing any braggin..just a lot of prayin..but you never know with that game..victory goes to the one who wants the win the most..we have 6 Auburn fans and 3 Bama fans watching..guess who will be the loudest..LOL..can't wait its going to be so much fun..Hoping it will help take our minds off missing Lori so much..this is going to be our first holiday without her,if you think of it, say a little prayer for us, and all those others out there like us.

Here's a preview of the new word art I have in the store today.."All About Kids"

Made by request..All About Kids has 20 individual pieces of word art. Some are humorous some are more serious All are on their own png file at 300DPI and can easily be re-sized without losing clarity, or re-colored.

A NEW DAY A NEW WEEK

Good Monday morning gang...hope all of you had a great weekend..I sure did..we had the baby for the weekend and Angie and the boys came down on Sunday and spent the day so I had all my grandkids and my great granddaughter and my daughter with me..it was such fun..The boys have grown since I saw them last and the baby grows and gets prettier everytime I see her.

I got so tickled at Josh this weekend I have to share this..Now I know we all remember when we were young parents and especially with our first, there were times when we got scared and frustrated and just didn't know what to with a crying screaming baby that wouldn't hush!

Kaylen had a cold this weekend and didn't feel good..seemed like every time we put her down she cried..especially when it was time for a diaper change..except she was really BAD with her dad. I watched him struggle with those one piece outfits, you know the ones with all the snaps, and her SCREAMING her head off..he would finally get it on her and pick her up and she still screamed..he walked with her and talked to her and she's till screaming..finally he would say take her Nana..and when I did she immediately got quiet..and start smiling at me..Josh got so upset and I explained to him that babies are so smart they sense when the one holding them is scared or nervous and they get that way too..and they cry.

I wasn't sure he believed me until Angie shared a similar story with him about when Gage was a baby...and then he seemed to see the light..oh new parents gotta love em..

I have some new word art in the store today..they are called Christmas words..

 LR_Christmas_Words_Preview

Christmas Words is just that! Each individual piece is a variety of words associated with a different Christmas theme..Each word has a different font. All are in png format and can easily be re-sized and re-colored. At 300 dpi they can be printed with clarity. These will really make you Christmas pages pop and they will be something different for a card sentiment. Package contains 15 word sets.  They are ON SALE NOW AT 25 % OFF.. you can find them here

waiting for christmasRS

I used things from KimBs new Christmas CU kit, greenery from her Glam Tidings kit, I made the frame with things from the Christmas CU Bag..word art is from the new set Christmas Words..

sac_xmas_08_1-000-Page-1

Sue sent me this one..love the old picture and the blue frame..She used Christmas Glam word art.

Nov Grab Bag

Renee from By Dezign made this adorable page..she also used Kims CU bag goodies..and the word art is from Christmas Glam..

RB Xmas QP Prev

Renee also did this QP using more of Kims Christmas CU Bag and my Christmas Glam word art.

Now for some BIG NEWS..Thursday is Thanksgiving as you all know..and do you know what the Friday after is?  Black Friday and do you know what Black Friday is?   Well briefly Black Friday is  a day you have to LOVE shopping and MASSIVE CROWDS and PUSHING AND SHOVING and CHAOS..to go shopping that day! For some families shopping on this day is as much a tradition as Thanksgiving Dinner.

Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macys Thanksgiving Parade  in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1960s.

The term "Black Friday" originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day."Black Friday" is the name which the Philadelphia Police Department has given to the Friday following Thanksgiving Day. It is not a term of endearment to them. "Black Friday" officially opens the Christmas shopping season in center city, and it usually brings massive traffic jams and over-crowded sidewalks as the downtown stores are mobbed from opening to closing.

This year some of the designers at DSO are having Black Friday SALES the entire day after Thanksgiving.  EVERYTHING in MY store will be on sale for 40% off. Its a one day only sale that ends Midnight Friday November 28th. You get all the benefits of a Black Friday Sale with none of the hassle. So mark your calendar and get ready for some great savings and lots of fun..

For your freebie today I have the frame from the layout I did

LR_Waiting For Christmas_Blog

I hope you like this little gift and can find some use for it.. you can grab it here if you want..http://www.4shared.com/file/72958117/6046a2c7/LR_Waiting_for_Christmas.html

Gotta go gang...keep smiling, keep looking up and big much love Jazzy

A NEW WEEK

Good Monday Morning Everyone, sure hope you all had a great weekend.  I spent mine being extremely lazy LOL.. I had company over the weekend.Josh and Chase and my adopted grandson Michael..(I feel like he belongs to me he has been with us so much for the last 10 years..LOL) Kendra and Kayla her friend..we watched football games almost all day on Sat and on Sat night..My team lost their game..I was hoping they would win but they've had such a bad season I really wasn't surprised..our biggest rival team won theirs though..they are undefeated this year so I have a feeling our game on the 29th is NOT going to make me happy..we have won the game for the past six years so I guess maybe it's time they had a win..but it's not over till the last whistle blows so I'm going to be optimistic!!

I know Domino's had a good weekend, a big chuck of change they picked up here LOL..I think the kids ordered a total of 7 large pizzas and 4 of the new sandwiches and some cheese sticks.. (Glad they have jobs) that was just what they ordered out..LOL I lost count of the 2 liter drinks that they went thru plus lunch meat and bread!!! We had a good time and they get on my nerves sometimes but I really enjoy having them here (For awhile LOL)

I have lots to show you today..first some pages I made, I don't make many pages lately and I miss it..but I've lost my mojo or whatever because nothing looks good to me.. I guess it will eventually come back to me..

Believe 1982

I used KimB's Glam Tidings and my word art from the set I  made to go with her kit..Christmas Glam. This is one of my favorite Christmas pictures of the girls because it brings back so many memories of that special Christmas..a story I will have to tell you sometime...

Friday Already

The week has passed really fast and I feel like I've accomplished a good bit.  This morning it's rainy here in Alabama.  I have the blinds open and it's very overcast and cloudy but  there is a big tree in the school yard  across the street and it still has the most beautiful leaves ..in shades of orange, yellow and gold..I have enjoyed it so much and sure hate to see it lose all its leaves..then it will be bare and depressing.  One very nice thing about this complex are all the beautiful trees and I have had a spectacular color palette to watch.

Go get you some coffee or coke or whatever because I have lots to share with you today.
