This week I took a trip to a Coffeehouse/Fabric Store/Antique Store and the owner let me take pictures inside... these are my favorites inside plus a couple outside the store.

Giving Thanks In November-Day 3

 

Day 3 of being purposely Thankful. 

Today I am thankful that my family has enough when so many families in our country don't.  

I am thankful to have a job that provides enough to put food on our table and pay our bills.

Giving Thanks In November-Day 2

Today I am Thankful for my husband.  He is great and wonderful and loves to spend time with me and our daughters... even when he is trying to sleep in and one of them wants to cuddle and begins to snore. :)

Giving Thanks in November?  Who would do such a crazy thing?  Well, Leah at http://southbreezefarm.blogspot.com/  has issued the challenge of listing something you are thankful for every day during this month. I am excited to do this because I don't think we take enough time to realize all the things in our lives to be grateful to our Lord for. 

I think I'm going to TRY and do it through photography.  It may be a little lofty of a goal... if so, I'll just go back to words.  Wish me luck!  A photo a day during November, the start of one of the busiest times for my family just may be crazy!

Today, I am thankful for my children.  I know, easy on to start with.  But I am especially thankful that they are so creative and spontaneous.  This weekend they spend most of it playing with Playdoh.  To decorate for Halloween, they made pumpkins and stuck them to my windows!  I loved seeing them there!  We took them down quickly to save the Playdoh from drying out... but not before we snapped a few pictures.

UPDATE! Some of the other judges are submitting their stuff for judging... so I hope it's not too late, because I am too!

I'm judging this photo hunt... and very excited/nervous about it! :D  It's always fun doing these challenges and meeting a deadline!
Photo Hunt 10... this one was a lot of fun.  I had never heard of Tilt-Shift Photography until this challenge.  So, I've heard of it and will never do it again.  hahaha!

A Fall Tradition-at our house Fall brings on colds and allergies, so it's not a fun tradition, but a tradition none-the-less.

Books-Vintage Hymnals, they always make me think of my grandparents.

Dining-Baked apples with walnuts and raisins.  The adults in my house liked it but the it was declared "gross" by the little girls.

Child/Children-Sweeping leaves. My kids fight over this chore now... too bad it won't last!

Faces formed in Nature-This was totally an accident.  I noticed it at lunch and ran and got my camera!
