I made a few crafts these past two weeks. Now I've got to get going on my Christmas cards.

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. Missy and her family came down from Idaho and Jeramy & Mel came from SLC. We also had the traditional Bingo game. It was a fun time for all. The only person missing was Art, but he needed to spend Thanksgiving with his kids.

After having a sad day on Saturday going to Ashley's funeral, I decided to get a little crafty on Sunday. Here is what I was able to get done. The temple on the jars took quite some time to do. I had to get the vinyl out of every nook and cranny. I'm pleased with how it turned out. I've started to decorate the nut cups for Thanksgiving. So far I have a little turkey on them, but can't decide what else to put on them. It's driving me crazy. Part of the problem is because they are so small.

These are the crafts I made this week. The snow people jars are for Sandy. She loves snowmen. I really enjoy making this type of stuff. Now I need to figure out who to give everything to.

Today is Veteran's Day. I'm thinking of my Dad today,he served in the Army. I'm very thankful for all the people that fight for our freedoms.

I'm also thinking of Sandy today. Ashley passed away on Monday November 9th. After talking with Sandy she is in a lot of pain, but also knows that Ashley is in a better place and she will be OK. We all loved Ashley and will miss her.

Sadness

Today I'm feeling sad, because my best friend of 33 years, Sandy, is in pain. About two years ago her daughter Ashley was in an accident and was paralyzed. Sandy has been working hard to take care of not only Ashley but her three daughters. She has done a wonderful job.

Last night Stacie notified me that Ashley wasn't doing well. She had recovered from surgery and seemed to be doing fine. Apparently after she went to sleep a blood clot went to her heart. Sandy said that she was coded for 20 min. As of this morning, Sandy didn't seem to have much hope. They were going to do a scan on Ashely to see if she had any brain activity.

I can't imagine the pain she must be in right now. I wish I were there to comfort her. Sandy has been so strong trough all of this and I admire her greatly. This is something I don't think I could have ever handled. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the family. God will know what is best and I trust in that.

Here is some of the crafty stuff I did over the weekend

This week was a very long and busy work week 51 hours. I did manage to get some house work and laundry done. Also made a few crafty items. Pictures below.
