"One Happy Conglomerate"

Hello!
It's Friday...weekend ready.
We have Groundhog Day today...I haven't checked to see the results.
We have Super Bowl Sunday...neither team is a favorite so by default I'm hoping the Eagles will win.  Don't get mad, I'm just picking one out of the two.  My favorite has always been the half-time show.  I'm looking forward to seeing that.
I will be very busy with today's activities away from home and at home...so let's get started with what I want to share...
I'm calling this a "conglomerate"...a number of different things or parts that are put or grouped together to form a whole but remain distinct entities:  One could say that I went wild with a lot of different things in my craft space.

This was fun for me and I really like the outcome.

Here I used Distress Oxides, stencils, stamp and a die on top of a piece of Ranger water color paper.

Have an enjoyable, happy weekend. 

Go Eagles, Go!!!

Thanks for viewing.  Please come again.

Love,

Lois

"Who Or What Are You Thankful For?"

Hello to Everyone on this Tuesday, January 30, 2018.
Well, we have one more day before we can say hello to February...the "heart" month.  It's moving...the time...even if you are not ready for it.  (Time waits for no one).

Usually around Thanksgiving we begin to say what we are thankful for.  I've always grew up with the thought that you should find someone or something to be thankful for each day.  If that is too long, then, each hour or each minute.  Family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors are leaving us everyday.  Stop and appreciate someone before they are no longer here.

That's the question I'm asking you today and no, it is not Thanksgiving...the holiday.  It is a day that we should find thankfulness in someone or something.  Who or what are you thankful for?

Since my DH's operation on last Monday, he says "I'm thankful for you" each time I do something for him in helping with his recovery.  I've said to him, "Thank God first and me second".  If it wasn't for the LORD, I don't know what we would do.  So, I'm thankful to God for seeing us up and down the highway without hurt, harm or danger, getting back and forth to his appointments.  We have two more this week before starting on that same journey next week.
I've been meeting a lot of nice people in the last two weeks and I'm thankful to them also for their concerns and offering Christian support.

Here is a little card I made toward my blog title today.
