Give (away) Thanks!
I thought I should try to squeeze in a post before I start in the kitchen with all the cooking and baking. I'm gonna cook some for the single Marines (that are far away from their mommy's home cooked Thanksgiving meal) I'm also cooking for Conrad's class, for Elsa's Brownie troop and for our own get-together on Thursday. Yep, it will be fun! I love to cook and bake. If I wasn't so busy, I would totally start a food blog and share my favorite recipes...But for now I keep myself busy with this blog.I have actually thought about starting a Ning.site for the simple reason that then you could all upload your layout

Two weeks has passed
and now it's time for another All About Me challenge. This time the topic is:"What this mark says about me""We all have a mark. We all leave a mark. And these marks say something about us all.

Well, we want to hear all about it. The good. The bad. The happy. The sad. Tell us about your mark and what it says about you!"My
