Whew!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I sure do love these EATING holidays. I'm a foodie, and luckily my best friend and my husband are also foodies, so we like to get together and eat!! This year I had the good fortune of splitting the holiday cooking with my best friend. Wow, this was so much easier! I am so thankful to be around my family again. I've known my best friend for over 10 years, and she has become close to my family also, so she is considered family. Besides her, I had my mother, stepfather, brother, sister, and brother-in-law over also. A full house in our tiny apartment, but what fun!



Look at all this food! The next morning my friend and I went shopping at 2:30am. We went to Kohls and got some amazing deals! Diamond earrings, beautiful jewelry and cashmere sweaters, oh my! We had so much fun. I love getting all my Christmas shopping done in one day! I just have three more people to shop for and I'm all done!

No quilting in these last few days, but I've got my eye on my room tonight! While you're online, make sure to surf over to Stray Stitches, she is having a fabulous giveaway. She's giving away the mostly complete set of Thimbleberries Quilt Club 2006 BOM Quilt Kit. While you're there, become a follower. Linda writes a fantastic blog, full of encouraging thoughts, gorgeous pictures, and awesome quilts. I make it a point to save her blog for my bus-ride every morning so I can start my day off on a good foot!

See you later, I'm off to quilt!
