My art today & fun with my hubby-day 9

As I continue to work on an art piece or two each day, I feel like I need to stretch to get out of comfort zones.  The irony of it all is I used to think I was no good at art of any kind.  It actually goes back to a grade school teacher I had but that is a story for another day.
Recently, I posted a recipe for cinnamon dough to make ornaments.   The recipe can be found HERE.  I had never made dough ornaments before and have wanted to try it out all week.

Well, today was the day! In fact, I got my hubby to do some too.  It has been one of those afternoons that we had pure enjoyment of doing something together.
Here are some more of our results.

Day 9 Thankfulness/Aloha/Friendship Friday/Return of Featured Friday




Question Of The Week
What are you most grateful in your life for at this moment?
What small things do you usually take for granted
But wish to celebrate now?
Join me in expressing those things you are most grateful for
At this week’s Friendship Friday!

Interesting that this week's question focuses on what I am most grateful for. If you have been reading my blog, you would know I have been posting that everyday.  In addition, I spoke about the little things just yesterday. That does not mean however, that I am not grateful for more things.

My Grand-daughter, Bella

One of the things that makes my life full is laughter especially the laughter of children. I may be a slight bit biased here but my sweet Grand-daughter, Bella has a laughter that is infectious.

She will think something is totally funny and throw her head back and just roar with laughter. Of course it makes everyone else wants to laugh right along with her.

With her laughter is precious.  One of the things that made me really laugh along with her was this one time I was shopping with her. I was out to get stuff for the Relay For Life Fundraiser.  I wanted to get a plunger for the race. Don't ask, we had this crazy idea.

Anyway, something I would take totally for granted, my little Bella thought was the greatest thing. She looked at the colors of it, waved it around and raised it in the air like a scepter. All the while she was giggling and making my daughter (her aunt) laugh our fool heads off.

Oh yeah, laughter I am most grateful for today.

"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday a day of rest. So we're doin' the same. On Fridays we're taking it easy on posting. Therefore, our hostess is asking a simple question for you to answer; nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d  like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at the very friendly place at the link up above.


My question of the week:
Do you go shopping on Black Friday? Do you think those of us that do are insane?  If you do go shopping, what are you most likely looking for (not for whom or bargains)?

My answer: Yes, I am one of those crazy nut cases that loves to go Black Friday shopping. I like the thrill of being in with the other crazy folks. I like that fun of it and believe it or not, it is fun...except the check out line but I do not count that. 

I have always gone with my Mom. Back when I was little we went with Grandma. When my daughter was still in my home, she went with us too, even when she was a few weeks old. This year I am going to rope...I mean educate Mark on the art of shopping on Black Friday.

Most likely I will be looking for bargains on PJ's for the Grand-daughter and maybe electronics for the kids.  Oh yeah, and I will be looking for a hand mixer. They usually cost about 5 bucks and as I need one...well, you get the idea!

Today I am resuming my Featured Faces Friday. I kinda put it on the back burner in July. Grandma (seen above) makes a triumphant return this week.  

I am going to do things a little differently though. If I feature you (which you all will be at some point), I will post your blog in the upper right corner of my blog page with a link to your blog for the entire week.  It simply got to overwhelming for me to do the post the way I was doing it.

If you are featured, grab Grandma's photo over there--->and shout hip, hip hurrah, I was featured on Naila Moon's blog!

This week's Featured Friday is...

Lorie Shewbridge of The Shewbridges of Central Florida

Go tell her I said hello and follow if you already haven't!
Peace,
