Today as I go about my day I am going to be thinking of how thankful I am that I can bead and stay home and do what I love.  This entire business venture is only possible because of my hubby!  He works everyday - rain or shine - to support us all.  Although I do make somewhat of a living making my creations I would never be able to support a family with my income.  And although I try to tell him ALL the time how much I appreciate him and love him it is still not words that make the difference!  I try to make sure that he know that he is loved - I'd make him a bracelet, but they aren't really his style!!! :) :) :)

What are YOU thankful for today?  It seems like it is always the SMALL things!!!

Here is the current photo from my Blue (and white) project I am working on.  Remember, you can watch it 'grow' on my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day.

Today's featured artist is: FlowerArtPainting.  This great artist's creations are FULL OF LIFE and color!  I just love the layers and way that they 'jump off the page'.  There are so many beautiful ways to show these creations off, too.  Remember, always support handmade artist...they put all their love in their work!!

Today, I would like to leave you with this thought;

BE THANKFUL!
