Happy Thanksgiving!!!

hello everybody. happy thanksgiving from us here at the crazy house to all of you. this year around here we have so many things to be thankful for. it has been a great day of relaxing so far with the family. i'll try to post some pictures of our faboo feast later...including the oh so great looking cheesecake i made...from scratch.

Gratuitous Linkage...

hello everyone. i know, it's been so long since i've updated and now i'm just updating with a link. yep, that's right. things have been very crazy around here. some very happy and some very sad things have been/are happening and my feeble mind is trying to balance them all out and put them in their proper place. i have some very lucid moments where i find myself composing in my mind a brilliant theological treatise on the present state of my life but that is just where it stays...in my mind. by the time i find a minute to steal to the computer...it's gone. so i guess you'll all have to wait. most of it has been amazing and grace filled, no matter how difficult it has been, but that will have to wait until another time i guess. so for now, please take a look at these shirts that my husband has posted for sale. he's rather talented...i think. of course i'm biased but, you know. do you need some christmas presents for those hard to buy for catholics in your life? i've got your solution. :) no need to thank me.

Finally! An E-mail Address!

well, miss holly from virginia never responded so i used the random number generator to pick a new winner. and guess what? you would be correct if you said that one didn't have an e-mail either. i then e-mailed my husband he picked a number and that finally resulted in...tada...an e-mail. that (third time is a charm) e-mail belongs to dawn from Snakes and Snails and Sugar and Spice. stop on over and congratulate her! she will be the lucky recipient of these from my etsy shop.
if you didn't win...and you like what you see...check out my etsy shop (in the side bar) cause there's plenty more where that came from (and i just paid my bill so the shop is sure to still be there).

And The Winner Is...

...Holly, from Virginia. the only problem is that there isn't an e-mail address on the comment or the profile. so, since my husband picked comment 22, if Holly reads this post and e-mails me by midnight tomorrow (sunday, 11/4) she will be the lucky winner. otherwise...y'all get a second chance!

It's Almost Time!!!

less than three hours left until the fall giveaway closes so get your comments in now. i promise the prize is something good. i believe it's rather pretty and it's handmade by yours truly. i think it's possibly even better than the purse i gave away in the spring. but of course, i did make it so it wouldn't quite make sense for me to say, "oh yeah, by the way...it really stinks!" so, you could possibly end up saying, "all the suspense for that stinking ________!" but if you do, please don't leave me a comment about it. :) i mean, i love comments as much as the next guy but, you know.... oh and that brings me to IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE HERE...PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN! and if you don't like what you see here, well, come back anyway just so you can a.) score some time off of purgatory now and b.) have a convenient target to laugh at and ridicule (and if i take it all in stride with a smile, i can get some time off of purgatory...see, it works out for everybody in the end).
