Hello all, sorry that I haven't posted but I have been so busy. I can't believe the weather we are having here in Northern California, it's been so nice. Usually it's so cold and I have my heater on, but not yet, all we have need is a sweater and we are good. Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here? I can't where has the time gone?? So what are you thankful for? me, I'm so thankful for my family (of course) and that my diabetes is under control. In case I don't post by Turkey day, I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy my little card:
