I would also like to say THANKS to everyone who has been leaving such wonderful comments on my blog lately! You all ROCK!!! It is so nice to read the appreciation. Keep it up!

AND THE STOCKINGS WERE HUNG

Good Morning! Hope that everyone slept well and are all rested and ready for the beautiful day ahead! I guess that all of my American blog followers are preparing for Thanksgiving today. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! As you can tell by my chipper disposition, I am in a great mood today! Aiden slept almost the whole night, so did Emma and so did I! Yay!!!! Also, I GOT MY NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! My offer was accepted! All we need now is a home inspection and if all goes well, which it should, the house is only 5 months old, we'll be moving in before Christmas!!! I am so happy! It has the most beautiful fireplace in the living room. I can't wait to hang our stockings on it Christmas eve. Thinking about stockings gave me a great idea for a cute wordart.... enjoy.

Oh yeah... Melinda asked yesterday in the comments section what font I used in the Silent Night wordart... it is NEW ROMANTICS. I have used the same font on this wordart today.

SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT

Well... it looks like we are going to look at another house today. Our offer wasn't accepted on the last one. We countered twice but it just wasn't the right price. I am fairly optamistic about this new one today though. It's bigger and right in the middle of our price range. Unless something drastic happens ***cross your fingers*** we should be able to get this one. It is even on the same street. CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!! WISH ME LUCK!!!

Here is todays wordart freebie. Enjoy.

She has some great stuff. http://chaninscorner.blogspot.com/

I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS

One of my favorite Christmas Songs has to be I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS from Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Actually, I love all of the songs from that album and I can't wait for Christmas each year so I can start playing them. I thought that this song title would make a good wordart for you all. Enjoy.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Good Morning! I hope that everyone had a great weekend. We went house hunting again and I think I found the perfect house. It has 2 stories plus a basement. 3 bedrooms, 2&1/2 baths, living/dining room/kitchen open area. Fireplace, Garage. Oh yeah... the kitchen has a dishwasher!!!! I hate washing dishes! IT"S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! We are putting in an offer today... so cross your fingers and send out those good house buying vibes. It would be so wonderful to be able to get in before Christmas and have it in our new house. I just found out too that my brother and his girlfriend will be spending Christmas with us this year. I am so happy. He has gone back home to Newfoundland for the past 3 Christmases. It will be so great to have family here this year. The kids will be so excited to have their Uncle Eldon here with them.

Does anyone have their Christmas shopping done yet? I don't even know where to start! I have 2 gifts for the kids but that's it. We went a little overboard last year so I promised myself that this year things will be a little cheaper. And with the economy so uncertain right now, i'll have to be extra careful. But... the one thing that I want this year is a new laptop. I have a desktop computer right now which is OK, but I need something a little more portable. Hubby was looking at some yesterday and thinks he has it narrowed down to 3 different models. He wants to take me out this week to choose the one I want. He is even going to get all of my files and programs transferred from my old one to the new one! Yay!!!... I won't have to do anything! Now the only thing I have to decide is... do I want it in Pink or Silver. LOL.

All this talk of presents is making me wish it was Christmas morning already! LOL. It really is the most wonderful time of the year... see how I worked that in for todays wordart freebie. LOL. Enjoy.

THE MOST POWERFUL INFLUENCE

I had a rough night last night! Aiden was up a dozen times and would not go back to sleep. I'm so tired today that I can barely keep my eyes open. I think i'm gonna need a HUGE cup of black coffee to get the day started. I just don't know why he won't sleep. He's almost 16 months old but he still sleeps like a newborn. I just don't get it. We are supposed to go out looking at houses after the Hubby gets home from work today, but, I think all I want to do is sleep. LOL.

Todays wordart freebis is a request from Karen in Park City. She told me that this is one of her favorite quotes. It is great. She wanted a simple look for this one, she said no fancy fonts! I hope that this is what you had in mind Karen. Enjoy.

NEW LOOK FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Happy Monday Morning!!! I hope that everyone had a great weekend! Mine was amazing. The Hubby and I took a little Anniversary getaway to Banff. It was so beautiful. The mountains were snow-covered and perfect. It was just cold enough that you needed a warm jacket on, but not too cold that you couldn't walk outside. We had a great weekend!

So... What do you think of the new look for my blog? I am calling it my Very Merry Happy Holiday Winter Look. LOL. I have used a combination of 2 kits for this new look. The first is from a freebie kit I download from Digitreats last winter called SNOW. I used the snowflake and the striped paper. The second kit is from Designs by Ann-Marie called Christmas Wrap. All other elements used are from this kit. It's AWESOME! Let me know what you think! I am still doing some fine tuning and tweaking to get just the right look.

Here is todays wordart freebie. It's so true! Enjoy.

QP BONUS: FREEBIE!!!

To help celebrate the new look of my blog, I have created a QUICK PAGE for you all using the 2 kits I used on my blog. Enjoy!

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

2 years ago for Christmas, I gave my Hubby a satelite radio. It has LOTS of channels so there is always something good to listen to. I was listening to a 90's station yesterday and I heard the song "It's a beautiful life" by the 90's band ACE OF BASE. I used to love those guys and remember many nights out clubbing and dancing to The Sign. WOW. Do I ever feel old. LOL. I thought that I could make a wordart from the title... so... here it is. Enjoy.

SONS ARE THE ANCHORS

I'm a little late getting my post out today. I have been trying for alomost 3 hours but I kept getting Blogger errors. So frustrating. I had a great post written about Aiden ans his sleep schedule, but after the 5th or 6th time I just gave up on the long post. So... here is todays freebie. Enjoy.

So... as promised, here are pics of the kids from Halloween. Because Aiden had the measles, he couldn't go Trick or Treating. But, he could still dress up. Isn't he the cutest little lion you have ever seen? So sweet my little guy is. Emma wanted to be a bug for Haloween which in Emma talk, means lady bug. She loved her costume, especially the little ladybug wand.

PRECIOUS JEWEL: new wordart freebie

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! Mine was great! We had lots of family time, did a little shopping and oh yeah... went house hunting! I found one that I just fell in love with but I think it's a little out of our price range, or so the Hubby thinks. LOL. We are still going to keep looking I guess. I was hopeing to be into a new house by Christmas but it doesn't look like thats gonna happen. Who knows... maybe a miracle will happen and i'll find the perfect house, make an offer, have it accepted with a quick closing, and be in with our stockings hung by the chimney with care. LOL.

Well... onto todays wordart freebie. This was a request from Beth. She didn't say where she is from or what she wanted the wordart for. She did however request the fonts she wanted used and the approximate size and layout she needed for the wordart. LOL. I hope that this is good for you Beth. Send me a message letting me know what you think. Hopefully some of you can use it too. Enjoy.

TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED: Plus new kit by JPT

TGIF!!!! I love Friday! Actually, I love Friday at around 3:00 because that's when the Hubby gets home from work and our weekend gets to start. This is his last weekend off now for 2 weeks because then he goes on-call for his job. We are planning on going for a drive on Saturday to get out of the city for a few hours. We were supposed to take the kids to a Birthday party tomorrow but because Aiden has the measles, he can't be around other kids yet. I wouldn't want him to give it to some other kids.

Here is todays wordart freebie. Click on the link below to be taken to my MediaFire page.

I have a new kit in my store today. It's called I BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUSE. It has 20 textured and patterned papers, and 23 elements. It is just the right kit for your Christmas layouts.

ONCE YOU CHOOSE HOPE

Todays wordart is a request that came to me around 6:00 AM today. Miranda from Chicago sent me a very lovely email about last nights historic US election. She didn't say in the email who she voted for or even where her poloitical loyalty was. She said that no matter who won, she wanted to use this quote for a layout she was preparing for one of her college classes regarding the election. I thought the quote was just beautiful and had to create a wordart for it right away. It is very fitting for the election but can be used for so many more themes. I hope that some of you can use it.

ps: I have received many emails from my loyal readers lately who are so very happy that I have switched my new files over to MediaFire.... the common complaint though is that there is nowhere to leave a comment. If you would like to leave me a comment, which by the way, I love to read and I read each and every one of them... LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH POST. If you have a blog or a website you would like me to visit, make sure you leave that info too. If you do, i'll grab your blinkie and post it on my blog as long as you do the same with mine. Thanks so much for all of your support and encouragement!

MY LOVE, MY LIFE, MY HEART

Here is a great little wordart that can be used on so many different types of layouts. Enjoy.
