Cone and Berry

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I hope my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We had a lovely time together and the weather was beautiful.

I'll share some photos at the end of this post.

 

This card came together from some bits and pieces left over from other projects.

I love it when I can get these on a card instead of the UFO box (which is already almost full again).

It's pretty straight forward.  Stamp, stamp and add glitter for a little sparkle.

Challenges:

Penny Black Saturday - ATG/Option of Embellishment (glitter)

I thought I'd share some Thanksgiving pics.

First a view from my kitchen.

With my three girls.

And the grandchildren.

We all live fairly close to each other, but it's a rare and special time if we can

all be together.  (The guys were too busy watching and talking sports to join in 

the picture taking and Giselle's mom is camera shy.)

Introducing

I wanted to show you one reason we are so busy these days....

I'd like you to meet Jack Matthew born Tuesday.  He's our newest little bundle of wonderful. (Grandson that is.  All the pleasure without all the pain!)

Big brother Luke hasn't decided what to make of him yet!

Here's Luke hee hawing at Cowboy Camp last week.

Thank God from whom all blessings flow!

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

It's Christmas night and I am feeling very blessed. We have spent the day with all of our daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren and talked to family that live far away. I have had Christmas cards from family and friends far & wide and loved hearing from all of them. The kids have left and the house is sort of straight and my ears are still ringing with the laughter and fun that we had. Below you can see our dear Emme on "cookie day". She is almost 1 yr. old and such a joy and our best gift of the year.

I hope that you had a wonderful day and that the gift of the very first Christmas fills your heart and soul with love and peace.

Hugs,
Bonnie

A Special Day

Today our youngest daughter, Kelli, graduated Magna Cum Laude from NC Wesleyan College. We are so proud of her! Not only is she a college graduate but she is a wonderful, loving, hard working, caring, fun woman.

She is a wonderful wife and mother.

And her sisters, mom & dad are so proud of her. (That's her dad trying to get away in the background).

We love you Kelli.

My first blog!

One of my goals for this year was to start a blog. I think I'm finally there. It took 10 months to get my courage up! I have the book "Google Blogger for Dummies" by Susan Gunelius that has been helpful. My cyberfriend, Michele, whose blog inspired me to want to have one of my own, has been so helpful in helping me get started. Her blog is http://micheleforce.blogspot.com/. She has the most awesome blog. Michele thank you so much for your help as well as inspiration.



Instead of a card for my first blog, I wanted to share my wonderful family with you. They are my biggest fans and I love all of them dearly. This was the first time we had ever, and I mean ever, had everybody in the same place at the same time. It was a special day and I'm so glad we got a picture to commemorate it because it's a day that I hold dear to my heart.
