I am so grateful....

Here in Canada we are celebrating Thanksgiving this long weekend...Family to me is everything so this weekend is no different than every time we get together to celebrate (except we really go overboard with the food)...and I think being Thankful is something we need to focus on each and every day.....I am so grateful for so much in my life....for being married to the most amazing man in the world....who supports my every dream...like taking a leap of faith to follow my dreams and become a full time Artist, Illustrator and Author....who always takes the time to see my new work each and every day over lattes....and who edits and reads all of my silly new manuscripts and business plans....I love you dearly my sweet!!!

I am grateful for being a Mom...I never ever knew that something could truly change you for the better...and being a Mom really has changed my life in so many ways....I fill my life with so much love each day that my heart sometimes hurts from it's growth spurts...and trust me when they say your heart never stops growing....because each and every day something magical and magnificent happens....something so small and so simple to everyone else...but to a Mom....it is amazing......

I am so grateful to have such an amazing family....that sticks by us and shares in amazing traditions and memories...I have no idea what I would do without each and every one of these amazing people....my Dad whom I always try to make proud....my Mom who is my biggest fan and cheerleader...(she carries my postcards and business cards everywhere she goes....and even my published books once and a while...she is truly my best friend in the world and having them around each week....making new memories with our son....my heart is truly full...and I feel truly blessed.....My brother and Sister-in-law, my brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws.....you all make a big difference in our lives....with our laughter and our special times ....who could ask for anything more....

I am Thankful to all of you ....my blog friends ...that pop by to say hello....so my days in the Studio don't seem so lonely....your friendships are amazing and I am constantly meeting some amazing people through blogging....

wow...I think this may be one of my longest posts....

so Thank you !!! thank you to all of you....each piece of the puzzle adds up to make a beautiful life...that I feel honored to be living......

Cole and I made some fun art and we thought we would share it with you....

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
