It's been a busy week and I'm glad for the upcoming weekend! What am I thankful for this week? I'm thankful for coworkers who have become friends. <p></p><p>Cristina loves my spaghetti. I mean LOVES my spaghetti. Folks, I do not do anything special with my semi-homemade spaghetti but it is surely a compliment. Everytime I make some, I always set some aside for her and surprise her with it the next day.</p><p>Well, she knows I love chicken mole and everytime she makes it for her family, she returns my container with chicken mole & rice.</p><p>It's a fun exchange and one that I am going to miss. This week she brought me some. I should have taken a picture, but I was so excited to eat it that I thought of it after I ate it. :)</p><p>So that's what I'm thankful for...coworkers who have become friends AND chicken mole!</p><p>What about you?

I knew I wanted the complete opposite - please NO daughters.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />But I gotta tell ya, as a grandparent. These three granddaughters are so precious. I love that they are a little rough but also girly. They are so fun (and exhausting) to be around. Grandparenting is so awesome and we're lucky enough to have these little cuties so close.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />So Thank Heaven for Little Girls!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89eQsJ5EJzck-kzW-yW0xV1HG7Dfk7ZWrRX-K82BpXFrXoVN6bAKp3dwWmTWmVvnZ0AONnQhAeamu0JpbDRREjwY988NcKt4KPHPVn42pTmEqNVztLTu_7ZI70QKJo2-zwGQqy7t3b1Z9yOS0gPyHTQnqVhuWFN8UZItSzMDGTEISIO6HVblbhxyFgnU/s253/girls.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="253" data-original-width="199" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89eQsJ5EJzck-kzW-yW0xV1HG7Dfk7ZWrRX-K82BpXFrXoVN6bAKp3dwWmTWmVvnZ0AONnQhAeamu0JpbDRREjwY988NcKt4KPHPVn42pTmEqNVztLTu_7ZI70QKJo2-zwGQqy7t3b1Z9yOS0gPyHTQnqVhuWFN8UZItSzMDGTEISIO6HVblbhxyFgnU/s1600/girls.png" width="199" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">What are you thankful for this week?

This is a rough week since my son’s birthday was Wednesday. It was his 40th. He was so excited about this birthday because he wanted a 40’s themed party. Not the 1940’s, but 40 ounce beer 40’s!<div><br /></div><div>We didn’t have the party but we did drink a few 40’s in his honor. His cousins, brothers and sister. It was bittersweet for sure.

Card making is the perfect time to use paper scraps!</div><div><br /></div><div>I stamped the sentiment directly on a piece of white cardstock measuring 3.5x2". The two focal images were stamped and fussy cut on more scrap paper before adding to the left of the sentiment box.</div><div><br /></div><div>The inside greeting was stamped in the middle of the card but also some beer bottles lined the right side. I'll tell you a secret...I wasn't planning on putting those bottles on the side, but I got some ink smudge there so instead of freaking out...I decided to embellish.</div><div><br /></div><div>I found the little clip on my desktop so I decided to add that with a little rolled piece of twine.

All the details of the hop are below. I'm glad I decided to join because I completely forgot about this Christmas set that I have. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I created another multi-photo layout that uses FIVE 4x6 photos. This one is from Christmas Eve 2021. Every year I tell myself to quit taking so many photos and concentrate on a group shot, but every year, I take too many photos!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />I know it's ok. I really love looking back at how much everyone has changed over the year, especially the kiddos.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I only use one of the pocket cards but I did use a lot of the other embellishments that came with the set. I used the pocket card as a journaling spot and wrote over all the printed items. The title was cut using the Cricut.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Be sure to check out my YouTube video for the process and check out all the other participants in this hop. I always learn so much from watching scrapbooking process videos. It's so fun to see how creative people are with their scrapbooking.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iWvX2DaGxRU" width="320" youtube-src-id="iWvX2DaGxRU"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Hop Details:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-79e9a407-7fff-2172-b1f6-81bc25a1cb3f"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Join a fun group of crafty peeps each month as we take on the Iron Crafter Challenge!

This week went by so fast and I'm thankful for that but I'm also thankful for cold medicine. I had the worst cold, congestion and cough for about two weeks and it's finally gone. Well, I still have to cough every so often, but I feel so much better!<p></p><p>This wet & cold weather doesn't help either but I'm glad I'm getting over it. I'll get to finally see my baby granddaughter. I've been avoiding her because I didn't want to get her sick, but she ended up getting sick anyhow. I guess this time of year is so full of germs, almost everyone gets a little something.</p><p>What are you thankful this week?
