Slices of Life

I hope you all had a wonderful week last week and a very happy Thanksgiving (if you live in the United States!).  It's already the end of the month and time to wrap up what we've been doing.  I love this little link up with Sheaffer and Shay!  Can you believe that tomorrow starts the last day of the year?  What We're Eating This Week: Sunday--  Ribeye steaks, roasted asparagus, baked potato and salad. Monday-- Turkey/orzo soup with challah bread Tuesday-- BLT grinders with chips and salad (I planned on eating a large salad with shrimp and 1 slice of bacon sprinkled on top) Wednesday--  Burgers (turkey burger for me) with French fries (butternut squash fries for me) and salad.  Thursday--  Egg roll in a bowl with rice for the boys (and chicken tenders for the younger two) Friday-- Homemade pizzas and salad. Saturday--  Ham, roasted potatoes, and green beans. What I'm Reminiscing About: Holiday and winter memories with these cuties!  What I'm Loving:  My bedroom tree

 Most years when Christmas rolls around I have zero ideas for my friends and family.  I mean I always want new clothes and sweaters and nail polish and books but there isn't usually something specific I want.  This year I have been adding quite a few things to my wish list that I really hope I do get because I'm afraid I'm going to order them anyway if I don't! LOL.  Some of these items are larger/ big ticket things  and some are just small and cute and caught my eye. 1. Copic marker set- - I just started playing around with Stampin Up! stampin blends markers and I love the ease with which these marker colors blend and show shadow and light.  I used them to make my adorable polar bear in the blizzard card and just want a whole rainbow of colors at my fingers.  Since Stampin blends only come in packs of 2 I have my eye on a larger set like this! 2. Kindle paperwhite- - I have a Kindle and I do love it... but I can't read outside with it unless it's a pretty cloud
