Picture of My daughter's birthday flowers

So sorry, I have not been around blog land much lately. I haven't made too many cards. Just a few Christmas cards which I hope to post later, when I find time to take pictures and post them.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. My daughter cooked for us, and the meal was delicious. Of course, we had Turkey! She also made sweet potatoes, filling, green bean casserole, and homemade bread. For dessert we had Home made Carrot Cake made by my daughter, and Cheese cake made by my husband. Lucky me, I did NOT have to cook.

I have been absent for two reasons, One we are working on our house. Our ceilings needed repair from water damage, and we replaced some floors too. Plaster dirt, sawdust.., painting, .packing and unpacking have kept me quite busy, and also about a week ago, I injured my hand, so it's been mostly typing with one hand. Right now, I can type with both hands, but not for long, my hand still hurts.

Hope everyone has a great weekend...Jill

Thanksgiving Flowers

We went out on Friday to see some craft shows and came back to find that this

beautiful bouquet of flowers were delivered to us. They were a gift from my sister-in-law

and Brother-in-law. They recently moved out of state and we miss them like crazy,

but I so appreciate their kindness, but I so wish we could have spent the holidays with

them like we usually would do.

The card that I made is a card that is "late" for a teapot challenge, and also "late" for a

birthday, so I hope that the recipient doesn't mind that its' late...

Another beautiful card I received from Connie

all her cards are so beautifully done, Thank you, again, Connie...so lovely.

With the snow we hadn't received mail for 3 days, so when the mail came...

well, lets just say there was LOTS. I have more cards to post, and as I have time I

will post them...

Have a good weekend, everyone....Blessings, Jill

Roses from my cousin

I received the beautiful flowers that you see above from my Cousin Lori and her friend Don. They both managed to fly in from Texas and see my Mother a few days before we lost her,

but because of the snow they were unable to get a flight in from Texas to attend her funeral.

I am tired of snow, but I am still so grateful that we didn't lose our electric. Towns close to us did. I still have so much to do...I have three weeks to clean out my Mother's apartment or I will have to pay another month's rent. (that thought seems overwhelming to me right now...) I have been to her apartment several times, and it's more difficult than I thought, I will see something that will set me off... Like yesterday realizing that the last book I purchased for her ( a book that was written by her favorite author) was sitting on her night stand by her bed...and I could tell by the placement of her bookmark...that she was unable to finish the book...

God Bless you all, Hope you have a nice day, and again thank you all for your encouragement and support...I am so grateful

Fall card, and some Fall flowers for you

The photos below were taken at a Garden Center we went to visit today

It has been so long since I last posted...I hope I remember how to do it...smile...

I'm posting a card, I think I've posted before on my blog, but it's very appropriate for fall,

so I thought I would repost it...along with the pictures that I took today...

We went took a trip to a flower shop that is not too far from us, but it's been a few years since we have been there to see their flower display. The Fall flowers are just awesome...so pretty. I thought you might enjoy seeing them...
