I just want to say "Thank You" for your kind thoughts and prayers. My surgery went very well. I am at home, feeling great and so very thankful!
My sweet daughter and I baked pumpkin pies last night. YUM!
I'll be going to her house for dinner later today. :D
Not sure how much "dinner" I will be able eat, but I'm going to try!
I have a little "therapy stick" that I'm supposed to use 10 times every hour to help keep my jaw mobile. I'm very proud to say that I can open my mouth all the way to the goal line with some effort!
God is so good! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day my friends!
One of these days I'm going to do some mini counted cross stitch. I found this beautiful pattern at The World's Largest Collection of Smalls today. If you are not following this blog, you are missing some beautiful things!
This free design is by Lizzie*Kate. It was stitched by Nicole for her friend. I love the simplicity of the design as well as the message!
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day! Counting my blessings, Kathi
I just scrolled down to the bottom of my blog page and guess what?! There have been over 10,000 viewers! I think that is absolutely amazing!!

I don't know where you are right now, but I want to thank you for visiting me!
I finished my Christmas swap gifts today. Well almost. I'm working on one more little gift for Kate Arthur at Rosanna's swap. I'm making little leaves. Lots of little leaves! Sorry I can't show you anything until Kate receives my gifts...
If anyone has Kate's email and/or mailing address, please let me know. On her recent post, Kate's mother was very ill. My mother was my hero and very best friend. She lost her battle with cancer 19 years ago and I still miss her very much. I'm sending lots of hugs and prayers Kate's way and I hope you will join me?
The minis are arriving for my Five Star Christmas Swap! They are all so, so cute! I can't wait to send them off to everyone! Thanks to everyone who joined in!
I find it quite humbling and simply amazing that there have been over 8,000 visitors to my blog from around the world! Visitors from 20 different countries!
It's so much fun to think, as the sun rises here today, that some of you are getting ready to go to bed. Sweet dreams to you and good morning to others!
I think I will try to figure out which of my followers is the farthest away from me and send them a little Christmas present. If you know who you are, please let me know!
Oh my goodness! I just received my very first AWARD! Thank you Mary at Miz Mary's Minis! Mary also has a wonderful tutorial blog! I love tutorials! Then this morning I got this same award from a new friend, Karin F at Mini Ramblings and Musings! She left a comment on my last post to introduce herself! Thanks Karin! I look forward to following you too!
How fun this is! They said to pick a book that you are currently reading, go to page 161, find the 5th complete sentence and post it here. Then pass the award on to five bloggers.
I am currently reading The Appeal, by John Grisham. I have read all of his books and look forward to each new one. His earlier writings are the best, but each and every story has an unexpected twist that keeps me reading.
The fifth sentence on page 161 is - "Where's the liberal or conservative side in a big messy divorce, or a boundary line dispute between two timber companies?"
I would like to pass this award on to five of my favorite mini bloggers. If you have already received it or sent it to me, please forgive the duplication! No need to accept it or pass it on, just know that I enjoy your posts and want to say "thank you!"
I'm sorry that some of my links are not working! Click on over at my Mini Blogs and Inspiration to go to these wonderful blogs! One of these days I'm going to learn how to do this!?
Thanks to all of you for your inspiration! I'm off to start sanding and priming my little beach house! Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!
