Today has special meaning for our family, I come FROM a military family, I SERVED in the military, and I am married to someone in the military. I thought - since my children love when I do this - I would list all my family and their service - only a couple of generations back!
My side of the family
ME, Navy
Oldest Son, Army
Dad, Navy
Uncle, Army
Grandfather, Army
Grandmother, Army
Grandfather, Army
Hubby's side of the family
Hubby, Army
Hubby's Dad, Navy
Hubby's Grandfather, Army
Hubby's Grandfather, Army
So as you can see, we have Strong Ties to the military and military way of life. For me, being raised in the shadow of the military is something that I will never forget. There is a pride that comes from having served that is unexplainable.
So, for all those who have served - either themselves are via their spouse - please enjoy the day and remember that from this military family to yours

This week's ONE WEEK SALE is on this beadwoven bracelet. I just love the look of stained glass and with so many people the Cardinal is a symbol of the winter months, so it just fit that this would be my next sale item! It is marked down to $20.00, but ONLY until next Thursday evening. I will then put it back to it's regular price if it doesn't sale!

As I have started a tradition with showing off some of the blogs I follow and I thought I would continue that. I will also be moving the list over to their own page so that they can ALL be found together.

And as a reminder, my contest doesn't end until the 15th, please come on over and enter!! Who knows??
