As usual I havent been on my computer very much lately. My dear sister came up to visit me this past Sunday and stayed through Wednesday. We had so much fun while she was here. She is 87 years old but you wouldn't know it except she is on a walker dued to the fact that her balance isn't all that good. She falls a lot of the times. She doesnt let the walker stopped her from going. On monday we went to the Dollar Tree Store and I helped her pick out little trinkets for all of her 21 great grandchildren for Christmas. She has 15 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.Then we went to an outlet store there we bought ourselves a blazer a piece. Next we went to Taco Bell and had her favorite Mexican Pissa. We then went to Big Lot and from there we went to Walmart. Boy! were we tired when we got home. We both laugh about us being out together as she was on a walker and me with a cane. We said;" We bet everyone was making a comment that those two old lady should be in a nursing home or assistant living instead out in this cold shopping." Monday night my sister looked at my christmas cards that I had been making and she picked one out that she liked and ask me if I would make 12 for her to send to some special friends. I made her 12 cards and finished them up on Tuesday morning. I also made her 5 Christmas braceletts to give to some of her children. We played Mexican Train Dominoes and Skip Board. She beat me 3 times in dominoes and I beat her 3 times in Skipbo. We had so much fun being together. My other sister couldn't come as she was helping her son move. We really miss her not being with us.

I had to take my sister home on Wednesday in a pouring down rain. I could hardly see to drive it was raining so hard. It has been raining here ever since Wednesday. Right now it looks like the sun will shine today but yet is is only seven oclock so just dont know. I do know it is cold as krout here.

I am behind on my art project due to my sister visit with me but what the heck I got a break from my art and so enjoyed her visit with me. I forgot to mention that my sister couldn't get over all of the art pieces I had from all of my art friends. She understood why I was in it so big and spent most of my time in my art room. She would like to do all of the arts but her eye sight is getting bad. She did help me do some things with the braceletts and also some tags. She really bragged on all of my friends arts.

I went to the beauty shope yesterday and I got my nails sone and hair fixed and then met my hubby at Walmarts and got my grocery in. Came home and dropped in the recliner. I finally got up and fixed dinner and then went into my art room and started making a tag for the tag of the month. Decided to do the 4 chunky book pages that I am in a swap for. I just cant decide on collaging. I am not good at putting articles or pictures together in a collage, I dont think this old mind will cooperate with me LOL. I love to stamp and paint but collaging isnt my cup of tea as the old saying goes.

Well my hubby is up and ready for breakfast and I guess I better get off of here and get busy. Hope to really get with it in my arts today and finish up some of the projects. I want to be finished so I can enjoy Thanksgiving with my son Gary who might be able to come to see me. If he has a man to feed his horses. We always go to Beths for Thanksgiving and her husband does the dinner that day. If my son doesnt make it here we will go to Beths for the dinner. She always has such a good dinner. In fact 3 years ago on Thanksgiving day is when she got me into doing all of the arts that I am doing. I started out doing ATCS then went further up in all kind of arts. Beth I am so glad that you talked me into doing all of the arts. It has been a good theraphy for me.

I will try to post some pictures later on today of some of my arts and some of my friends arts.
Have a good weekend and A Wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Love
Granny
