   This week I am thankful for my children who love me unconditionally. Work has been really stressful lately, especially this week and I picked my daughter up from school this week (she’s 6) and she wrote me a note “To mom, I hope your day is prfkt” (perfect!) “Love, Victoria”. Now if that isn’t enough to brighten your day! And my son put all the dishes away without being asked! What more can a mom ask for?

   So glad to hear Alexa’s appointment was OK today! Victoria has a card for her, hopefully we can get it in the mail tomorrow!

   Right now I am thankful that we had some much needed rain and also that my mysterious dizzy spell is over. No clue what caused it, but it was not fun at all! I was really dizzy for 3 days and had decided if I wasn’t significantly better by today I was going to have to go see the doctor about it, but thankfully I am feeling 95% better! I’m not a big fan of doctors anyway. I’m glad to hear Alexa is doing well and hope she continues to be well!

   I’m happy to hear Alexa’s appointment went OK. I’m thankful my bronchoscopy went well today and the doctor didn’t see anything, but took a biopsy of an enlarged lymph node that she feels will come back OK. I’m thankful also for a wonderful family and great friends, who keep me going even when I’m tired and cranky! LOL

   I’m thankful for my fiance, Ian – he has been a great help this week in helping clean the house so I can get the wedding invites done.

5. Karen June 14th, 2007 at 9:45 pm 5

   What I am thankful for, hasn’t quite happened yet, but, it will tomorrow. My step-daughter (age 18) is giving birth to our first grandbaby – (we know this because she is being induced early tomorrow morning) – we also know that it is a little boy so needless to say we are quiet excited and praying that God will bless Nicole and Corey with a beautiful, healthy little Caden.

6. CJ Max June 14th, 2007 at 9:48 pm 6

   I have so much to be thankful for and a lot of times I forget this and let the little things get the best of me.

   And thank you for being you………I really enjoy your blog………thank you for sharing your talent and your thoughts………and I’m sooooo happy about Alexa…….big hugs to her!

   What a beautiful day!

   I am thankful for my family, I have a wonderful son and DIL who have given me precious twin granddaughters. I babysit them everyday and they bring such joy to my life. Being Nana is the best job in the world!

8. Jackie W. June 14th, 2007 at 9:58 pm 8

   I am thankful for so many things – but right now I’m thankful that I just found and called a friend I haven’t seen or spoken to in 20 years! And he and his wife still remember me! I had no idea where he was but found him on the internet. Thank goodness for technology! And I’m very happy to hear about your daugher!

9. Jennie Harper June 14th, 2007 at 10:02 pm 9

13. Allison June 14th, 2007 at 11:17 pm 13

    Wow Lauren…you rock! I am so happy to hear that Alexa is doing well! I am grateful for my children, my friends and my relative sanity (given my current situation…nightmarish!). Thanks for the candy offer and the super sketch!

14. Shannon June 14th, 2007 at 11:29 pm 14

    Congratulations on all your hits. You have a great site. I hope I am the lucky winner of those goodies!!
    Well, I am thankful for several things this week. All my kiddos have been so good today, I was able to clean out and clean up the whole house without any chaos! I feel so good that it is cleaner and clutter free. Very thankful they were on their best behavior so I could do that.
    Secondly, I am thankful for my new neighbor Diana, who help me sew a retro pillow case for my sister. I thought it would be easier than it was and she offered to help. Thank goodness for her or I would still be working on it. This pillow case is soooo 70ish. It is actually a fitted sheet my sister and I had back in the 70’s and she wanted me to make it into a pillow for her. I hope she likes it.
    Thankful stamp club is tomorrow night, I need the break. It is our last one though. (insert frown).
    Thanks

    This week I am thankful for my health and my family. My oldest daughter is in Ireland with school right now and I am thankful that she is well and is thriving. I am thankful that my middle daughter cares enough to ask my opinion. I am thankful that my youngest daughter enjoys my company and we can laugh over many things. I am thankful for the man I married – that he is kind and generous to a fault. I am thankful.

16. Robyn June 15th, 2007 at 12:28 am 16

    This week I am really thankful for my husband. Today is our 11 year anniversary and I am so lucky to have him. He changes diapers, helps me with the kids, and never complains about my hobbies. He is my soulmate!!

    Robyn

17. Amie June 15th, 2007 at 12:43 am 17

23. Angel June 15th, 2007 at 5:43 am 23

25. Victoria June 15th, 2007 at 6:50 am 25

    Great question to ponder! I’m reminded to be thankful for my job and for my health. God has blessed me so much in both of those areas, even though work drives me a little crazy! 🙂 I’m thankful for the peace of God, and knwowing I can put all my trust in Him. And I’m thankful for getting closer and closer to the wedding. Thanks for the question, I realized I have so many blessings. I look forward to reading your blog again and will pray for you and your little one!
    God bless. (SCS: Pr31stamper)

26. JoAnn June 15th, 2007 at 6:51 am 26

    I’m thankful that school is out! This is the first week of summer vacation, so I’ve been able to spend to much more time with my kids! The weather has been so nice and we’ve had so much fun together. I love the more relaxed pace and no school commitments! I’m also thankful for such creative and inpirational stampers like you, Lauren!

27. Cheryl Sims June 15th, 2007 at 7:02 am 27

    I know this sounds so materialistic, but I am thankful for my computer this week. We had a bad thunderstorm and lightening came in and took out my cable modem. Thank goodness my computer is a laptop and I didn’t have it hooked to anything. Anyhow, after picking up a new modem (that didn’t work) and the cable guys coming and telling me that my computer had a problem, I am thankful for the diligence of my DH to call RR support and figure out that it was my firewall. So, I have my computer back working. I am also thankful for my friend Kathy, who offered her husband’s services to get me back up and running. He is a computer wiz!!! So, I realized how much I NEED my computer after these days without it. Sorry this isn’t some warm fuzzy gratefullness, but I love my puter.

28. Andrea Hays June 15th, 2007 at 7:42 am 28

    Oh my goodness! What a wonderful gift. Congratulations!

    I am thankful for my husband. He is a hard worker and dedicated to all he does. He has made me a better person and I am thankful for each day I have with him.

29. Queenie She June 15th, 2007 at 7:50 am 29

    I am thankful for life–I recently lost my best friend of more than 40 years, to pancreatic cancer, and realize how precious life is! I now have several friends who are sick or have just had, or are facing surgery and it’s scarey! I am lots older than most of you young gals, and just want to say, enjoy life, your children and friends! They are a precious commodity! Take time to stamp, scrap and spend time with family and friends–the dishes will wait, the dust will still be there tomorrow (you know, dust is a protective covering for furniture!) Just enjoy life and those you love!
    Thanks for sharing your talents!

    Glad to hear Alexa’s appointment went well. I am most thankful for my family. My 3 beautiful children and husband, not to mention our yellow lab, Hailey, are soooo important to me. I am happy to be a stay at home Mom and enjoy summer break with them!

31. Lisa Moore June 15th, 2007 at 7:57 am 31

    Wow Lauren.. what an awesome prize.. I’m thankful for my family and close friends. Without them, we have nothing.. I’m also thankful that my birthday is in 11 days.. that means good friend, good food and presents.. LOL just kidding..

32. Sandy June 15th, 2007 at 8:08 am 32

    Hi Lauren. Congrats on the hits! 🙂 I am thankful for summer vacation! I get to spend time playing with my stamps now!!!!

33. Patty June 15th, 2007 at 8:18 am 33

    I’m thankful for getting back home in one piece after 2 trips back to back. One was for fun and one was for work. The one for fun, I can’t complain, I had a good time. The one for work had a bumpy ride there and back, esp. the first leg was on a small plane, you feel it more. Now, off to get some work done. 😛

34. Cheryl Kelly-Van Domelen June 15th, 2007 at 8:20 am 34

    I love your card! The sketch is so cool – I’m going to try it. I am thankful that after 10 years, my Crohn’s Disease is finally in remission. I am also thankful that I get to be a stay at home mom to my beautiful 2 year old daughter. Thanks for helping us stop and think about what we are thankful for. It is good to do that!!

35. Janet June 15th, 2007 at 8:32 am 35

    I’m thankful for my little son Jack. He was not planned, infact, I found out I was pregnant the weekend my dh was recovering from his big “v” operation. He is a special gift and so sweet.

36. Melissa (smileytexan) June 15th, 2007 at 8:36 am 36

    Do we only pick one thing to be thankful for?? I have so many!!
    I guess I’ll say I’m thankful for air conditioning!! I live in Texas and I don’t know how anyone can or has lived here without it!! To be able to come into a house that’s cool and refreshing. . .just can’t beat it! I always say I’d rather be too hot than too cold, but air conditioning just can’t be beat!!

37. Alexis R June 15th, 2007 at 8:42 am 37

    Glad to hear your little girl is doing well!!!! I am thankful for my God and my family!!! There are so many things to be thankful for…..
    Have a great day!

38. Donna Baker June 15th, 2007 at 9:01 am 38

    wow, Lauren…you’re such an inspiration! Glad Alexa is doing well. I am thankful for a wonderful husband & we are going to celebrate 10 years July 6. He is patient, kind, loving, smart, handsome, etc. My life would not be complete without him. Of course I thank GOD for bringing us together.

39. Marcia Larsen June 15th, 2007 at 9:17 am 39

    I am thankful to be a Breast Cancer survivor and can celebrate each and every day of my life whether it be a good day or a bad day. I am also thankful for my wonder friend and soul mate. What a blessing that he is also my husband.

    Keep up the good work. I am thankful for you.

40. Katharine June 15th, 2007 at 9:20 am 40

    I am thankful that we made it through another week safely. Our DD suffers from suicidal depression but we can not hospitalize her because she’s 16 and she has to admit herself (but won’t) unless she causes serious harm to herself (STUPID HUH?!). Wed. we dropped her off at school but she skipped school the whole day, didn’t show up for her youth group and we didn’t hear from her til 11:30 pm. Needless to say we were worried but relieved when she called.
    We have 2 other children and they have hearts of gold and understand that some days mom & dad are a little over stressed and are really helpful those days.
    I’m just thankful for God’s strength in getting through this trying time and every day that we have our children to love.

41. jodene June 15th, 2007 at 9:23 am 41

    Congrats on the hits. Glad Alexa is doing well. I thank you for reminding us to be thankful. (it’s easier to forget in todays busy society) I am thankful for my family. My husband is the ‘rock’ I need. My 3 kids bring me happiness and a sense of worth. Thanks for sharing with all us everyday!

42. Claudia F. June 15th, 2007 at 10:44 am 42

    I am thankful for a loving husband and children. Congratulations on the blog and on Alexa’s good health. God Bless.
    Claudia F.

43. Patty June 15th, 2007 at 11:03 am 43

    I am sooooo thankful for my husband. I feel God has somehow balanced the crazeyness of my life by blessing me with my husband. My husband is so good to me and kind. I feel he is one in a billion!

44. Colleen June 15th, 2007 at 11:04 am 44

    I am so glad the kids are doing well. Today I am thankful for my loving husband. It is our 11th anniversary and I sometimes wonder why he puts up with me…but he does, and I love him even more for it. I am also thankful that the sun is coming out (we had some wicked storms this morning) and the birds are starting to chirp. I am thankful that it is summer and I am able to enjoy it. (And lastly, I am thankful for all of my wonderful cyber friends who support each other every day!)

45. Irma Guzman June 15th, 2007 at 11:13 am 45

    I’m thankful because my father-in-law is sober/clean for the last 25 days and he’s staying with us. He’s a painkiller addicted, for the ones that don’t know is the same that alcohol but wore, people we blackout for weeks…

46. Becky (my4kidzmom) June 15th, 2007 at 11:15 am 46

    Lauren~ I just love reading your blog! Keep up the awesome work, PSF!!! I am thankful that my children and family is healthy. Today and tomorrow is our annual Tomorrow’s Hope Walk Fest (like Relay for Life only the money goes to local cancer centers and hospitals). As I pass the luminaries, I thank God that cancer is a survivable disease if caught early. I’m also thankful that my dear grandpa is in heaven watching over me; he passed away in August 2005 from cancer.

47. Kathy Curry June 15th, 2007 at 11:31 am 47

    Hi Lauren,
    I’m thankful for health and happiness. Also thankful for getting a bid on our house. And thankful for Alexa’s remission and good prognosis! Not so thankful for all your enabling! I just put both Fancy Pants sets in my cart, plus another Lizzieann set! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us with all your beautiful designs. Keep up the good work.
    Kathy

48. Geny June 15th, 2007 at 11:46 am 48

    Wow, fantastic blog candy! Congrats on losing 5 lbs and especially on Alexis’ prognosis, she sound like an amazing little girl. I am thankful this week that I got an honorable mention on Nichole’s Heady’s blog for Papertrey’s design contest. I have hardly ever entered my cards in anything and am just now starting to, it is nice to see a reward sometimes. Of course I am also thankful that my 3 year old boy (almost 4-ahhh!) is so sweet and tells me “I love you” all the time.
    Geny C. (aka Mommy Geny)

49. Cindy Keery June 15th, 2007 at 12:11 pm 49

    Amazing blog candy! I am very thankful that the girls are almost done school for the year! I am looking forward to just spending time with them.

50. Kathy W June 15th, 2007 at 12:17 pm 50

    I am thankful for the test results back last week of no breast cancer. After six weeks of testing and surgical biopsy, I am not normal (have condition that puts me at elevated risk), but I also don’t have cancer. I want you to know that this blog and the stories of Alexa have given me strength and awareness through such a stressful time. I have been so fearful these past few months, and I can’t imagine the magnification of feeling for a parent or child that deals with cancer. What an inspiration you are to me and how I am now paying more attention to cancer issues (for me, yes, but also children since I am a teacher). Thanks, too, for the great blog candy offer! Love checking in here daily.

51. KayellWY June 15th, 2007 at 12:45 pm 51

    Life is good. 🙂 Last week was one very stressful week with my phone and internet going down every time I turned around so that I was unable to work (I’m an at-home medical transcriptionist), and not being able to get anything resolved with multiple calls to my provider. Yikes! I was panicking! FINALLY, they replaced old cable and everything has been running well and smoothly this week. Yay! It’s been a good week! I am thankfor for less stress this week, but at the top of my “thankful” list is my family — my kids and my grandchildren. They just brighten my world!

52. Sheryl (Dylbrett) June 15th, 2007 at 12:47 pm 52

    I am thankful that the tornado we had last week near our campground didn’t hit our campground! The damage is unbelieveable. I think we were very lucky & someone was looking out for us.

53. Nicole Ireland June 15th, 2007 at 12:55 pm 53

    Glad Alexa & family are well!!!
    I am thankfull for a lot of things!! Despite the end of school year & less “mytime” for me… I am thankful that we can “afford” me to be able to stay home with my kids (being a parent, working out of the home or not) has it’s own challenges. And most days are crazy and hectic… But…. the summer is a great time to have more “quality time” with the kids too. I am also thankfull that we are “finally” making lots of progress on our new handicap accessable home. Life should be a little easier by the end of the year. (fingers crossed)

54. Shelby Dunning June 15th, 2007 at 1:00 pm 54

    Thankful thoughts for today, your daughter and her test results, you and your inspirational cards, my dh who is a one in a million kind of guy. Loving and supporting and so helpful in daily things. I still work parttime at the age of 70 and he helps with household things. No he doesn’t cook, but he does do windows, and floors. Also will do laundry as needed giving me more time to putz in the craft room. Congratulations on all your hits. I recently discovered your blog and am really enjoying it. Thankful for the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful blog candy.

55. Kristin O June 15th, 2007 at 1:02 pm 55

    I am so thankful for the love and support of friends and family. My husband is changing jobs, we will be moving, and my kids will be changing schools. I wouldn’t be able to get though it all without everyone around me listening, supporting and telling me that I CAN do it! Thanks for your inspiration!

56. Ally B June 15th, 2007 at 1:08 pm 56

    I am thankful for a ton of things this week but mostly for a transfer and promotion at work. We will be moving to FL from GA with my hubby job (marine Corps) and I interviewed this week for a postion with the bank in Fl and I will be getting a transfer and a promotion!! So now all I have to worry about is moving!! hehehe
    Thanks for the great blog!!

57. mara June 15th, 2007 at 1:25 pm 57

    Holly molly thats a big package of cards! Love it!

    Well Im thankfull at this moment that its Friday and I have next week off of work.

58. Laura Sneden (okiechic) June 15th, 2007 at 1:50 pm 58

    I’m thankful for a lot of things. Today I’m thankful that everyone slept well last night, and it is such a warm sunny day. Oh and I survived taking the kids to the pool. We had a blast. Only a few tears when we had to leave.

    I’m so glad Alexa is hanging in there. You are some tough cookies.

59. Connie Good June 15th, 2007 at 1:54 pm 59

    I am thankful that I can now use my right had. Found out 6 weeks ago I had no catilage left in my thumb joint. So I had surgery and they took a part of a tendon out of the arm and made some catilage. Wonders never seem to amaze me in the medical field. I can now tie shoes, put a bra on, etc. I am so thankful for the use of my right hand.

60. Bonnie aka raduse June 15th, 2007 at 2:07 pm 60

    I am thankful for my family, my Lord and Savior, friends, and stamping.

61. Mo Moss June 15th, 2007 at 2:15 pm 61

    I am honestly thankful for you and also for ALexa remission. I so well remember when my husband’s cancer went into remission and then the good news after five years. Today, I am thankful for my husband’s health and also mine. It is my pleasure to visit you each day and GOD bless.

62. Karen (Karen Stamps! on scs) June 15th, 2007 at 2:27 pm 62

    I’m thankful for the beautiful summer weather we’ve had this week. It’s been warm and sunny during the day, with a lovely breeze. And best of all, not at all humid. The temperature drops at night so the house cools off and we haven’t had to run the A/C at all this week. It’s been beautiful! This is my kind of summer weather. On that note, it’s time to go and hang some washing on the line….

    Great blog!

63. lacyquilter June 15th, 2007 at 2:27 pm 63

    I am thankful for all the friends I’ve made thru stamping.

64. Denise M. June 15th, 2007 at 2:43 pm 64

    I am thankful for the end of school and a much neede vacation for me and my hubby! The whole family is going to Orlando, Florida to visit my in-laws who are watching my kids so DH and I can drive down to Miami for a few days! WOO HOO!

65. lilian June 15th, 2007 at 2:46 pm 65

    that card is SO ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

    i am thankful for my husband… he makes me smile.

66. Kacey June 15th, 2007 at 2:47 pm 66

    I am thankful that I think I have finally found a doctor who is willing and able to help me figure out what is wrong with me. I have not been well since November of 06, and after many misdiagnoses, I think I have finally found someone willing to go through this with me and to figure out what it is rather than to pawn me off on yet another doctor. As a result of this illness, I have also come to realize how thankful I am for my fabulous, solid, supportive, and loving husband – without him, I would truly have nothing to be thankful for :-), because I would have given up already and just live with it. It is true what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger! But, I think you know a little something about that *wink*.

67. Mary C. Anderson June 15th, 2007 at 3:04 pm 67

    I am always very grateful that my children and granchildren are healthy.Today, I am grateful that I was able to get out of bed and enjoy the day. 🙂

    Mary

68. sunnie June 15th, 2007 at 3:11 pm 68

    I am thankful that my daughter is having a successful pregnancy – but is still in high risk pregnancy status. We were all excited when her first ultrasound showed that things were normal so far.

69. twinks June 15th, 2007 at 3:20 pm 69

    Your stories about your family are heart warming as you all take your journey with Alexa. Its a reminder to all of us to be thankful for the really important things; love of family and friends – through our every day struggles, when there is unconditonal love, we experience true bliss! I am thankful that we are all hanging around enjoying ourselves; how great it is to awake to a brand new day! Bless us all!

70. Kim Howard June 15th, 2007 at 3:21 pm 70

    Hi Lauren!
    I’m so glad Alexa is doing so well, that is definitely something to be thankful about!

    I’m also thankful for my healthy children and hoping for a healthy baby in late November as well. I am thankful to all the friends I have made through stamping, and for all my friends and family who support me throughout whatever I do.

    Kim

71. Leesa Berry June 15th, 2007 at 5:12 pm 71

    I am so thankful for my child, he is so loving with daily hugs and always tells me you are the best Mom! He is also an awesome student and very healthy! A true blessing! I too have lost 10lbs and so thankful because it is very hardwork! Congrats on your weight loss and wonderful blog! I read it daily! Love your cards! Thankful for you!

72. Rebecca June 15th, 2007 at 5:33 pm 72

    I am thankful for the wonderful community of stampers, you Lauren and the PSF’s you’ve brought together!

    What am I thankful for? Well, for lots of things I guess. I’m thankful that Alexa is doing well. I’m thankful that the PSFs are “real” friends. I’m thankful I have healthy kids. I’m thankful I have a fantabulous DH. I’m thankful that I have a great group of customers who think I’m creative!

    Lauren, I love coming here to see your work and also in the Fan Club. Although I don’t regularly post to PSF I do enjoy keeping up with the going ons from time to time.

    What I’m thankful for, that summer vacation is almost here – I will be done with work and I’ll be able to spend time with my kids, for a wonderful teaching job I love and for a wonderful husband who is a great dad too. (and the recent time I’ve had to scrapbook)

    Hi Lauren, Love your blog, glad to have found it. I have been a huge fan of your work for a long time–you should see my faves folder at SCS. I think everything you’ve made is in there for future inspiration.

    It’s hard for me to pick one thing to be thanful for. But for this week it for my family. My brother and his wife are coming to visit from Washington DC, and my mom is finally turning the corner of health from her lung transplant in Feb. ’06. We are all trekking down to see my grandma who recently got the good news that the chemo and radiation worked and as of now she is cancer free. So I’m thankful for my family and how God has been faithful to all of us as there have been some real nasty times.

76. Melissa Norris June 15th, 2007 at 9:30 pm 76

    Congrats!! And so glad Alexa is doing well.
    I personally am thankful that my garage sale is tomorrow so I can get rid of ALL THIS JUNK *hehe*

    I am thankful that Alexa is doing well, for my wonderful FAMILY, and all of Life’s wonder gifts! I’m thankful for a very “artistic GOD” who has painted us such beautiful sceenery! I have just recently just discovered “blogs” and yours is my favorite one to visit, your work is amazing, and you seem like such a wonderful, caring person. So I am also thankful for you and your blog

    I am so thankful for my kids, my wonderful darling husband and a kind and loving god that watches out for me and takes care of my family. I am so very thankful that I can wake up each day and see my 4 wonderful children and have the honor and priviledge of being thier mother. What a blessing they are. Even when they make me mad I love them so very much and I am so grateful that I have found a loving and generous man to help me parent these 4 kids. Ok, enough babbling, congrats on the hits and hug those kids tight, I am so happy to hear that her cancer is still in remission.

86. Mindy June 16th, 2007 at 8:33 am 86

    It is funny that you asked that question. I was just looking at my 1 year old laughing at my husband and I was thinking how thankful I am for both of them. I love them so much and they bring joy to my life everyday!!!!

87. Jen Stevenson June 16th, 2007 at 8:44 am 87

    I’ve read about your journey for the past few years on SCS and have always wanted to reach out to you. You are such a very strong woman. I love your out look on life, you just “get it”. You see the beauty in every moment and cherish what you have. God has given you the strength to be a mother of three and deal with all of Alexa’s health issues. He would never give us more than we are capable of. I truely believe this. I’ve been an Oncology nurse for 18 years and it has been a calling that He believes I can handle. It has taught me that even faced with adversity we still have much to be thankful for.

    I’m blessed and thankful for my health, a wonderful family and great friends. What more could you ask for???

88. Linda SS June 16th, 2007 at 10:17 am 88

    I’m so happy to hear that Alexa is doing well and her prognosis looks good. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be as a parent to watch your child endure cancer. I have had cancer for almost 4 yrs. and have had 3 surgeries and numerous chemo treatments. But not once have I asked, “Why me”. And that is because I am so thankful that it happened to me and not to one of my loved ones. I embrace you, dear Lauren. My heart and prayers reach out to you because I know that you are walking a much more difficult road than I am. May God continue to bless and watch over your 3 little ones. And may His healing hand touch Alexa and keep her in remission. What I am most thankful for this week is to hear that your beautiful little girl is doing well.

89. Denise Hall June 16th, 2007 at 10:24 am 89

    I am thankful for all the blessing that God above has provided for me and my family. I am thankful for the beauty in this world that he created for all of us to enjoy. I am thankful for my children, grandchildren, and my wonderful husband of 33 years. The Lord is with us always. I will pray for your daughter Alexa, that she continues to be healthy. Susan

90. Lynda June 16th, 2007 at 10:52 am 90

    I am thankful for a wonderful daughter-in-law who cares so lovingly for my two beautiful grandchildren and my son! Such good news regarding Alexa!!

91. Debbie Fisher June 16th, 2007 at 10:59 am 91

    Got home this week from taking dad to Denver for spine surgery. Thankful for a safe trip (had an incident w/ road rage) and VERY thankful the surgery was successful. Dad can walk and is in no pain. A miracle!!

92. Cindy June 16th, 2007 at 11:05 am 92

93. Jenny V June 16th, 2007 at 11:09 am 93

    Hi Lauren. I love reading your blog — you have a great sense of humor, a wonderful outlook on life, and fabulous cards and projects to boot! Right now I’m thankful for so many things, including my family and friends who keep me sane. I’m also thankful that I came back from vacation only having gained 2 pounds! After a week of all-you-can -eat buffets, I was fearful that it would be a lot worse! 🙂

94. Lisa Worthington June 16th, 2007 at 12:15 pm 94

    Hi there, love your blog… I am thankful for my beautiful one year old daughther. I can’t believe how fast the time goes and how big she is now… I enjoy every minute with her. She is my pride and joy.

95. Alison June 16th, 2007 at 3:02 pm 95

    Congrats on the big 5-0! This week I am most thankful for my family. A loving husband who accepts me as-is (except maybe my snoring…) and my beautiful daughters who are a challenge most of the time, but a blessing all of the time. This time of year is so great — seeing everyone outdoors and enjoying nature. It just makes me happy!

96. aspromised June 16th, 2007 at 5:12 pm 96

98. Sharon (notimetostamp) June 16th, 2007 at 8:33 pm 98

    Hi Lauren — I am thankful that the FC gallery finally opened on Friday afternoon — LOL!!! I am thankful for warm weather, for a successful hay crop coming in, for happy, hard-working kids, a husband who takes good care of me (I’m old fashioned, yes, I know) and allows me all my *stamping* time — thankful in general for a simple, but good life!!! You have a wonderful blog — best wishes in that regard — you obviously put in a lot of hard work — talk to you later!

99. Bethany Paull June 16th, 2007 at 8:45 pm 99

     My parents are finally in a position to retire from a lifetime of the manual, hard labor of farming. With the real estate boom they were able to sell their farmland and being that my dad is in his mid 70’s, I’m glad that there was a light at the end of the long dark tunnel.

103. Cindy B June 17th, 2007 at 6:40 pm 103

     I’m thankful for my husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandson. I’m also thankful to live in such a great country where we are all free to work and go about our lives in peace. Thanks to all who sacrifice to keep the rest of us safe.

104. Diane June 17th, 2007 at 10:42 pm 104
