Snowflakes!

This is so cool! Make your own virtual snowflakes! I could play on here all day long!

Big Things Are Afoot!

We've been really busy lately and are getting ready to get even busier. Things are busting at the seams over in our neck of the woods! And it's all for God!!! So much to do and it's all happening so fast. I can't go into detail quite yet. But it's going to be big things from humble beginnings. I'm more excited about the things of God than I ever have been! I feel like doing a happy dance!!!

It's that time!

The Christmas Season is upon us once again! We're just gearing up here in the Gribben household. Getting our cold weather clothes out and firewood cut. I hope to go today to get some things to decorate with. So far, we've watched The Grinch and Elf. Got my Christmas music on and I'm really getting into the spirit! We tend to start celebrating a little earlier than most because we love it so much. And every year it goes by a little faster than the last. Maybe we'll even get the tree up next weekend. We'll see. I'm so excited about so many things in our life right now. Christmas is just one of them.

So get to praising the Lord and thanking Him for all the blessings he's given us. And then start baking cookies and decking the halls. That's what we're going to do! Happy HOLYdays!!!!

*Just a note. the picture was, sadly, not taken at my own home. It is the beautiful creation of my Grandma Jo, in HER gorgeous home.

Hi!

Sorry that I've been AWOL. We just have so much going on right now. For now, I will just leave you with some snapshots from our beautiful fall day yesterday.

FOR TODAY October 5, 2009...

Outside my window...Bright, sunny and chilly! It won't be long until we start the first fire of the season in our beloved fireplace!

I am thinking... I wish I didn't have so much to do today.

I am thankful for... my family and for good friends

From the kitchen.... I don't want to talk about it...

I am wearing... green and blue jammies

I am creating... lots of ideas for restocking our etsy shop.

I am remembering... back when I was about 8..Life was so simple. Not a care in the world...Good times...

I am going... I'll be going insane if I can't stop sneezing!!

I am hoping... that Anya behaves herself today at Walmart...

I am hearing... Spongebob Squarepants

On my mind... wondering what's going to happen...just wanting to know God's will for this situation...

Noticing that... if people are only given little bits of information about a situation from one side...they almost always assume the worst about the other side.

Pondering these words... don't shrink back

Here is picture thought I am sharing: My sweet baby girl! Can you see the mohawk? :)

Pics from the Rock-A-Thon

Don't have time to tell you all about it right now. But, I thought I'd at least share some pictures. Enjoy!

Lots To Do!

I have so much to do today!!! I've about got Maegan ready to lie down for her nap. Then I can get to work. I've got dishes to wash, laundry to put away, and a living room to sweep...But besides that, we have the Rock-A-Thon to get ready for! Tons of beads to break out and organize, signs to make, table covers to find.

Every year it is so much fun! We get to get our stuff out there and meet some very interestiing people. Not to mention, we get to make a little extra money...That's never a bad thing!

We'll have Maegan with us, but the bigger two will be with grandparents. So, hubby and I get some quality time together. And, it's so much fun to look at all the rocks and jewelry other people bring...We always wind up spending a good chunk of our profits on stuff we find at the show. It's nice though, the vendors like to make deals and trades with other vendors. And having done this for 7 years now, we've made some good friends there!

I bought batteries for my camera, so I plan on taking some good pics. I will try to post about it on Monday.....I may post before if the venue has wi-fi......I love my laptop!!!

Anyway, really need to get to work. Take care all!!!
