How Time Flies

I can't believe a whole year has gone by!  I tried to peek in every now and then to see how everyone was doing:)  I've missed blogging & creating and really want to get back into it!  So I am making a promise to myself, to jump on here and post at least once a week.  I thought today would be a great time to start, better late than never!

Thanksgiving was nice this year.  I made sure I had all of my Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving day.  The kids were off of school for that week so I figured they could help!  I did my tree as I have the last few years - white lights on one switch and color on another, that way I can choose either or both based on my mood:)

I have been staying pretty busy working with my husband in our real estate brokerage.  We currently have 6 agents total.  I also decided to open an etsy store.  It's pretty new, but I'm enjoying it!  I have so much more product to put on, but if you like, please stop by and visit - 

it's called Windsor's Whimsy's (after my daughter).  

Well, that's all for now.  I'm off to "The Greatest Gift Is Love" Blog Hop Giveaway - go here to join in!

 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

May the good things of life
be yours in abundance
not only at Thanksgiving
but throughout the coming year:)

  

Wonderful Halloween

I realize Halloween has gone by, but it is one of my favorite holidays!  The kids had a blast, they were able to dress up a few different times and each had two different outfits this year.  Here are a couple of picts taken from our annual Clubhouse Halloween Party - all four won awards from different catagories!

My daughter was a Geisha for the party

and here are the two little ones,

(My oldest was a really scary devil but that pic is on my hubby's phone)

We had gone trick or treating at the History Museum the day before and my daughter happened to fit in perfectly with a coven of pageant witches who were hanging around

(She is second in from right, in front)

Hope you all had a great time:)

The day after Halloween, moving onto Christmas I guess!

Where did Thanksgiving go?!

A Couple of Thank You's!

Wanted to send out a couple of thank you's!

First - To Brenda @ The Rusty Thimble

for this cute pumpkin, which I won back in July...terrible me, I just never sit down to post anymore, (trying to get back into it)!

Second - To Charlotte @ Roma Land Woodcrafts

for these adorable wine glasses turned seasonal decor...love them!

Thank you ladies, very much!

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted since Christmas!  

I told myself I was going to start fresh at the beginning of the year but that just didn't work out.  

I am very excited to say though, that it hasn't been for nothing!  With the kids all in school full time, I really wanted to focus on doing something for myself...and I did -

I got my Real Estate License!!

I went to classes, studied very hard (which has been years for this girl), took my state exam and passed!

Yippee!

Now I just need to figure out who to hang my license under...(interviews are starting this week).

I feel so behind in blog land.  

I hope all of you are doing well.  

I am going to try and schedule some time 

to catch up on all of your posts:)

Enjoy your week!!
