If you have been reading my blog for any time you know I love to craft. This time of year I like to get especially “crafty” making Christmas gifts. The past few years a demanding workload had prevented me from doing a whole lot of crafting but I am so excited that my new jobs allow me to actually have time to do the things I love to do (yes, I have more than one job and still have more time than I did with only one). Every year I try to give each one of my children something I hand made especially for them. At this time I can’t reveal what I have planned (don’t want to give away anything just in case they read this post) but I am thankful for my sewing machine to help me get ‘crafty’.

I am linking up with Garden of Learning’s Gratitude Challenge and Teaching Good Things 30 Days of Gratitude.
