Thankful Thursday - #2

Happy Thursday,

Are you getting ready for the weekend?  I think we may go see a movie this weekend.  I have been wanting to go see "Walking with Dinosaurs".  The visual effects look amazing!

Today I am thankful for my sight.  All be it not 20/20, even with glasses, I am still very thankful that I get to enjoy seeing all the things I do everyday.  From the first morning "wake up face" on Pumpkin, to the giggles and bright eyes during nightly story-time.  Even that dirty sink waiting for me when I walk into the kitchen.

Spice brought up a question this week while we were headed to Sunday Brunch as a family.  I call it "Car Chat". Here question really made me think. If you had to choose between sight or hearing, which one would you choose?  

I had to really think about it because I love music and the sounds of nature and even the sound of the hubs snoring.  But then I thought of everything I would not experience without sight.  Reading for One!!  Oh my goodness, I love reading and looking at pictures. I would miss the little expressions on my babies faces, and the gleam in their eye when they discover something new.  I am sure you have all had that experience around a child.  They get this gleam all over their little faces that immediately warms your heart when you realize they just felt pride in something they did.  So without a question.. Sight was my pick.  

Then my second son (Bran - the comedian) told us how great it would be if he couldn't hear all the nagging I did when they where children... he found the bright side.

What? Wednesday! - #2

Hello Everyone,

Can you believe we are already a week into the new year?

I have to say... I am loving 2014 so far.  Ok.. Ok... maybe not the freezing temperatures.

How is everyone doing in the storms?  Hopefully safe and warm.

Pumpkin, Spice and I are pretty blessed, we prepared in November for this cold stuff and we are not nearly as cold as other areas.  The Hubs is enjoying 76 degrees while we bundle up in our sweaters and winter gear.  Do you think I feel sorry for him? (hehe).

Pumpkin is actually looking forward to some "White" stuff so she can break in her New Snow Boots!  I must admit, I am too!
(I hope I don't end up handing them down unused.. lol, yep it has happened.)

Spice is getting bored of scrapping her car in the morning... I can't say I blame her.  But she did get a pretty nice scrapper for Christmas. :)

Has everyone been following the Manufactures 'Sneak Peeks' of the new products they will be showing off at 2014 Winter CHA?  There are so many beautiful designs out there.  My favorite 'reveal's are the new tools.

Ready for the WHAT? Wednesday! question?

I am sure you can guess, WHAT are your favorite products so far?

Feel free to put links in your comment, to share with everyone.

Here are a few of my favorites today!

I am really excited about the MME Record It! lines.

6 design lines, following the concept of Project Life, but with amazing coordinating embellishments.
Pretty Things is my favorite in the line so far... but it really is a hard choice because I can see using every single line.  You can see all of the lines here

I am also pretty excited about these new 2 x 2 pocket pages from Simple Stories, 6 x 8 size.  Won't they fit fabulous in a Daytimer?

Oh my... I think Webster's Pages made this line just for me!!! "Hello World"

EEEKKKKK... This one is definitely going to be on my crafting table. Love IT!!

Webster's has 6 lines coming out... So far.. I want them all!

Ok, now WHAT are your Favorites so far!
