Ever had something happen in your life that you would never ever expect to happen? It doesn't matter if it is big or small. Well this blog is one of those things I never would have expected. A year ago I just started reading a handful of blogs, it crossed my mind to have one for myself. I always thought "man I can't type out what I am thinking and creating all at once.... that's embarrassing." Well it's not embarrassing, I may not have the most thought provoking things to say, but I will inspire you to be a better decorator, crafter, mom, dad, person. On that note.... Ever have a person that encouraged and helped you even though they had no clue at the time what was taking place? In fact you had no clue what was taking place either? Well I have this person in my life whom I truly adore. This person will remain nameless, they know who they are. Well this person and I have in the past not been so close. Through the years I have spent time with this person and at times we didn't see eye to eye. Life always seemed to keep us at a distance and as this person and I have learned, misunderstandings by just being human created space between us as well. I really enjoy spending time with this person, I always have fun and there is never a lack of good conversation and laughter. I have learned that this person challenges me in ways that do not come naturally to me. Stretching as a person can be hard at times, but trusting that person who is stretching you is the first step in growing closer. We are different people who come from different places but I am so blessed to call this person my friend. God orchestrates things in life that are so unexpected at times, it's kind of fascinating....well after you see the big picture it is! Funny how that works. Each day is a new day and this person and I may not see eye to eye on everything but now at least we can talk about it and trust that we won't get hurt. I would never want to do that. So it is true... it is the unexpected that changes our lives. This person has changed mine and I am glad!! Do you have anyone that you care about that has changed your life? Have you taken the time to tell or show them how much you care? Sometimes it doesn't take much, just a phone call, text or email. If you are crazy like me then how about a set of handmade ornaments to give to them? **Ahhmen** Maybe not, I am a lil wacky when it comes to crafts. Well at least they will know every year how much I care about them when they pull out the ornaments to enjoy on their tree each Christmas. *sly grin* This month I try to focus on being thankful, I try to recognize things in my life that aren't right in front of my face. The not so obvious things. What are the not so obvious things that you are thankful for???

| I just know that this person will love the set of ornaments they get... it is almost as if they hand picked them *wink wink* |

| Kinda of ironic that I chose a clock...somethings just take time. Find your unexpected and change your life!! Have a Happy Day! G |
