Happy Veteran's Day!

Just wanted to express my gratitude to the men and women of the armed forces (and their families) who make the sacrifice to ensure our freedom in this country = THANK YOU!!!! Two simple words but there is a lot of meaning and emotion behind them so again, THANK YOU!!!

Speaking of gratitude, Scrapbook News & Review Magazine (SNR) has a blog. Today, they are featuring a beautiful gratitude box and how this will become a new family tradition for the blog author. I hope you have time to go and visit HERE. In addition, they are asking you to participate in a challenge...what is your FAMILY TRADITION? The winner will have the opportunity to have it featured on SNR's blog and who knows, it can be an inspiration to another family!

If you are out and about, please visit Frozen Memories (southeast corner of Army Trail Rd & Rt. 59 in Bartlett IL) today...it is their last day of business. I am heartbroken but can totally understand the family's desire to close - too many (mostly happy) memories of our beloved Becky who passed away a little over a year ago. Thanks to hubby, Dom, and his family for sticking it out for the year...it must've been difficult but it was a nice place to hang out with you all! Hugs to you all and hope that today will be a smooth one - I'll see you there later! xo

OK, everyone - have a great day and put up a flag for our veterans (here and overseas)!! xo
