Happy Thanksgiving Bloggers

To all my blogger friends, loyal commenters, and visitors, I would like to present this Thanksgiving card (above) to all of you. It'll probably be a while before I can get back to my computer on the account of, well Thanksgiving preparations, relatives, and just having a jolly good time. I'm going to be busy for the most part helping my mom cook and bake. I even got some request to cook some favorite dishes. Then after the celebration of Thanksgiving, I'll be moving on and preparing for my most favorite Holiday... Christmas!!! Our tradition since I can remember as a little girl, was putting the Tree up after Thanksgiving. Then you know actually before that, "Black Friday"-the Thanksgiving after sale Friday. We go SHOPPING! Then after a long day, we get some Coburg egg nog, put on some Christmas music and decorate the tree.

So my blogger friends, commenters, and visitors, it'll be a while before I blog with you again. I will be signing in sometime Monday perhaps, if not soon, after The Thanksgiving rush.

You all good people, have a good break, enjoy your family, holiday, and making great memories. Have a good time. I'll be talking to ya later.

Have a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving,

Treasure Ann

Last Minute Shopping

Yeah I know I should have had all my Thanksgiving shopping done by now, but it's just a few more things that I need to get. One of the things that I like is Egg Nog. I can't forget to get that. I just love egg nog. My favorite brand is Coburg.

After everyone finishes their turkey dinner, we usually get a glass of nice cold egg nog to sip on. During the Thanksgiving celebration some of us will play games, like scrabble, chinese checkers, checkers and this year we plan to give out door prizes to make it even fun. Before we sit down to eat our festive meal, everyone says one thing that they are thankful for. Afterwards we say grace and we come together at the table and eat. During our sipping of the egg nog we watch "Home Alone" a Thanksgiving tradition. Then during the watching of the movie, everyone is slipping back into the kitchen to get more seconds. We always have a ball. I always hate for it to end, but I know I'll always have something to look forward to next year. After leaving my parents home, I get home and spend the rest of the quiet evening snug under my crocheted afghan reading a good book.

What about you all, are you doing last minute Thanksgiving shopping? What are your traditions for Thanksgiving? What are your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? In any event make sure you enjoy your family and "trearsure" every moment you spend with them. There's nothing like family.

Only 3 more days until Turkey-Thanksgiving Day, enjoy your Holidays.

Thankful

As many do not know, I am a single mother. Not by divorce, but by being nieve (I don't know if I spelled that right.) and young. I regretted a lot of things in my life, but I don't regret deciding not to have an abortion. Yes this is something I like to share with my readers. Just to tell you how far I've come. When I found out I was pregnant, there were so many thoughts that went through my head. Abortion was one of them, but thank God I didn't make that mistake. In fact I looked at myself for making the mistake.
Now I don't even know how my life would be without my son. Yeah he's a big boy in this picture, but years ago before, he was such a tiny baby.

If it wasn't for my parents, who did not condone what I did, but they were understanding, and supportive. They never let me go through my pregnancy alone. I was depress and ashame when I was pregnant, because I wasn't married. My father, God bless him, helped me hold my head up and encouraged me that I am still important and I'm somebody. He is my son's, not only grandfather, but father. He stepped in when D's biological father didn't. My father and mother helped me get on my feet and now my life has progressed to great things and still going. I'm thankful for my parents and how they helped me get through some very tough times.

What about you? What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving Holiday and season?
Happy Holidays,
Treasure Ann

Thank You Fawn Dear...

I love my blog prize that sweet Fawn Dear sent me. I was so excited when I saw the box on my front porch when I got home from A.C. Moore (read my post below about my adventure at A.C. Moore). When I came in my house, this is what I found inside the box. Oh, she had it so wrapped nicely and all.
I lovingly recieved a nice shopping bag. Looovvvveeee IT!!!
Next there was a pretty candle all wrapped nicely, and last but not certainly not least; Cookie Lee jewelry set. C'mon people, aren't these great gifts or what. I love them, everyone of them.








Heres the bracelet, this picture came out blurry. Sorry about that. Take my word for it, it's gorgeous.


Here's the beautiful bracelet.

The absolutely fantastic earrings.

Right here is the entire gift set. The bag, candle, and Cookie Lee earring, bracelet, and necklace set. I have got to get an outfit especially to wear with this.

Thank you Fawn Dear, I love my prize. So beautiful-whenever you get yours, hope you like it.

Your Friend,

Treasure Ann

A.C. Moore

I just got back from shopping at A.C. Moore. I just love that place. I can practically live there. I'm into so many crafts already and I get most of my craft supplies from there, well other than Wal-mart. If you have an A.C. Moore where you live, you have got to go and check out the sale their having. The entire store is on sale, from 20% to 50% off. You can really get some nice crafty things to make for your love ones as a Christmas gift. Above are some of the on sale products I bought at the craft store. Check it out ya'll. I don't know how long the sale lasts, but I found out from friend yesterday, and we caught it. Have fun everybody and don't forget to enjoy live. Treasure Ann
