Nothing but chatter...

Well I have been gone for awhile from the blogging and crafting scene.  In January I was asked to return to a job I had had previously.  My original intention was woohoo craft cash...lol...but soon it became craft cash, vacation money, new car payment, so on and so forth!  After about a week of getting settled into the position again I was informed that the business had been sold and we had a new owner!  I was shocked that no one had told me previous to accepting the job but I put my happy hat on and trudged forward.  Since the take over on February 2nd, the administration offices have been total chaos causing me total chaos at work and also when at home.  In the last couple of weeks, I have decided that I NEED my crafting to keep me sane and I miss it terribly.  I have been working on the same three projects since the beginning of June, only being able to actually craft here and there.  On friday, my office was given the news that it should be smooth sailing from here forward!  So yes I will still work full time but have much more free time for me and my NEED!  I am hoping I will be able to put up some pics of the projects this week and a happy YouTube vid of the main one.  So thanks for hanging out and there will be projects coming soon!  I hope to post more often now that life is working itself out!  In the words of Tigger...TTFN!

A Very Blessed Holiday!

As many of you know we celebrated Christmas Eve at our youngest daughters home...this was her tree and all of the gifts everyone brought.  We had an amazing dinner made by our daughters Hanna & Amanda.  Their first holiday meal with no help...we are so proud of their efforts...everything was deliscious!  Everyone was so stuffed no one even ate pie until Christmas Day!  It took us two and a half hours to open all of those presents as we open presents one person at a time...it is always so exciting to see the look on their faces when they get what they ask for!  My gifts from my family were simply amazing...my children all surprised me with something that truly inspires me...I received a new webcam from my hubby...a gift card for HL from the 3 older kids and a HUGE fiskars matt from the youngest!  I couldn't have asked for more but was surprised with the "NEW" Tim McGraw cd from my oldest son and santa brought me my favorite perfume!  This Christmas has been a truly amazing and blessed holiday!

I wish all of you as much and more blessing as I have received and hope each of you bring in the New Year with optimism and joy!

Happy Holidays from the Davis Family!

Some of my favorite things...

Hi ladies...I thought this week I would share some of my favorite things that make me smile!  One of my favorite animals is a bear!  I recieved this pic in an email this week titled "I come in peace".  The bear apparently would come into camp in the evening to play with the sled dogs...this picture made me smile because how special at this time of year for two animals to come together as friends.  Who wouldn't want to snuggle with a Polar Bear?
