Zig Zag Arts!! Check out this talent with colored pencils!



Please check out this awesome site!  My cousin, Susie,  just opened this Etsy shop, called ZigZagArt, and she is super talented with her drawings!! I never knew she was such a talented artist!
Click HERE to view her ZigZagArts Esty Site!
and Check out her Website HERE!
Zigzagarts on Facebook HERE!

Gosh I sure wish I could draw! Some people have all the talent. We are not "blood" relatives so maybe that explains the lack of me even being able to draw a stick figure! Even when I taught Kindergarten I could not draw as well as my students!

One of my favorites is the Cherry Design, entitled "Who let them out".
Which one is your favorite drawing???

A Cozy Sunday!

We had a great and cozy day on Sunday.
It was very cold out.
Even the dogs are snuggling!

I made an Italian Sausage Soup that was awesome! If anyone wants the recipe, just click on the Email me button!
And made some cards......


My husband and daughter went for a long walk in the woods.

Then my husband came home and smoked a salmon. It was so awesome. We were too full from the soup to eat it but nibbled on it


Later that night we had "Family Night" My son made Peppermint Shakes from Southern Living Recipe  and baked us some Peanut Blossom cookies.........


........and  we watched Blindside. Gosh I love that movie and can totally relate to the mom. I always cry when I watch it.

How was your day yesterday? What did you do? What are your favorite Christmas Cookies?

What an Incredible Day!

What an incredible day! Today was the Naturalization Ceremony for our daughter who we adopted 12 years ago! We attended a beautiful and touching ceremony! Our son's was 12 years ago at age 2, but there was not a ceremony. Lots of tears today!

More tears! After the Ceremony we got news that some friends of ours finally were finally making it home with their child that is adopted from the same country that ours are from. Their newest little girl is almost 5 but it took 3 years to get her. We headed to the airport to greet them. She was so precious and immediately called my husband, "papa"! What a special day! It was her new mom that helped me with all the painstacking paper work we had to go through to make my daughter's Citizenship go through.

The fun just keeps continuing. Tonight my baby nephew ( I was 14 when he was born) who is in his 40's will be in town for business. I have not seen him in years. He is the oldest grandchild and my daughter is the youngest. They are at least 30 years apart in age!

My wonderful nephew, Dan and I!



Later....my son went back to school today and came home with an award for hard work and an outstanding attitude!
