my 2 1/2 year old grandson
when he arrived at 7am
it was dark and dreary
we snuggled a bit,
had breakfast and then
granny decided it was
the perfect day for
some books...
we read & read
and then we decided
to be crafty-
we got out the glue
some ribbon and some
colorful paper
i wrote on the individual
papers the letters to spell
happy halloween & happy fall
we then glued the paper
to the ribbon and made
a banner saying "happy halloween"
and "happy fall"
i then let him pick which one he
wanted to take to his house
and of course he picked the halloween one! :)
then i finally finished zigzagging
the edges of a scarf i made for my
darling daughter
and am contemplating making
a few lace headbands...
i think the weather is
making it feel like
the perfect day
for crafting!
and i wanted to share
that lately i have received
some amazing emails
saying how much my
blog inspires & touches-
and i was and am, deeply moved
by the emails and to know how
my blog and words touch you!
so it got me to thinking
i would love to get to know you
my followers a bit better...
so would you do me a favor?
share something about yourself
in my comment section!
one or two or three things;
whatever you want...funny, personal...
your favorite color, tv show,
foods, quote, favorite season...
anything you want to share
so i can get to know you better! :)
and i hope you know
how much you all mean to me,
i appreciate you all!
have a lovely thursday
look for the glass half-full
and shine that light of yours!!
and may you always be blessed~

Oh, you are always helping others see beautiful! How lucky your family is to have you!
A little diddy about See Beautiful, well, we work really hard to find beautiful in the everyday. We are really committed to helping girls and women see how inherently beautiful they are. Seeing beautiful has made life better for us and it is our hope that we've been able to help one or two others see a little more beautiful in theirs.

I'm addicted to Pinterest.
My favorite season is fall.
I love to bake and cook.
Thank you for your very sweet words .... lovely to hear from you :)
I enjoy your blog; it is like a snuggly soft blanket on a cold evening. I like long walks on the beach or in the woods, and I love my grandchildren and also teaching preschoolers, because they have an innocense about them. I take them on walks and when someone points out something beautiful, we stop and say, "Thank you, Jesus for my eyes."
what can I tell you that you don't know? I miss you and think we're long over due for coffee and shopping. I am so glad your blog is such a blessing to so many! Remember when we first started blogging? Who knew where it would go? Blessings my friend!
