Well I am home today from work because Damian had a real bad asthma attack. We were on our way to school and he layed down in the back seat of the car and started crying because he couldn't breath So after 2 breathing treatments he seem to be breathing better. So I cleaned the house decorated for Christmas. Put the tree up. It is a vintage Aluminum tree with the color wheel. I put red balls on it. Reminds me of christmas with my grandparents. Here is my scketch for this week. All cardstock is from su. Chip board flower prayed with glitter mist from Ep. Seitment is from a book I got from Micheals. These sketches let me work on birthday cards for my family that have birthdays after Christmas. I got my nephews done this one and an anniversary card for my sister and her husband.

This is a short week for me at work, I have a 4 day weekend. Will be hopefully get to do some shopping. DH will be fishing, like he needs more fish as it is, He already has a freezer full. He and my mom are the only ones here that eat fish, so I guess they will not be going hungry. I hope I get to see all my grand children on Thanksgiving Day, I know my oldest is coming up from Houston and spending 4 days with us. The other 2 are coming in from Bowie for the day. I think my youngest daughter has to work and so I will not get to see the baby. Enjoy Have a safe Thanksgiving and be safe. Susan
