Thanksgiving Day (2010) and What I Am Thankful For...

So with all the wonderful turkey taking it's toll on me, I decided to sit at my computer and take a moment to list a few things that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving Day...

My Husband - my loving husband that is always supportive of me, whether it's going back to school, admiring our horses, watching the kids so that I can get something else done, my Christmas mania, and everything else I can come up with in my hectic days.

My Children - although my oldest is not with us, he is always on my mind and in my heart as one of the reasons that I want to be a better person. My middle son is full of so much emotion and potential, he shares all that he is so readily and is pure joy to be around. Last but not least, our youngest, the princess is easily the hardest to keep up with but it is so amazing looking at the world through the eyes of a young child.

Family & Friends - a network that helps me to succeed, and a treasure of valued opinions and insight as well as creativity and inspiration.

Our Home - I am extremely thankful that we are not in a hardship position in this difficult economic time, and am acutely aware that it could happen to anyone. I hope that we continue to push forward and that we can continue to be safe and happy in our home and work/business.

Thank you to everyone that knows and loves us and your continued support and input! Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!!

Lots of website work to get done this week...working on updates to Phara Farm and Sunh Kyst Arabians (for more information about our "Golden" Horses, check out Phara Heritage Society), and also ECAHS or Eastern Crabbet Arabian Horse Society but all of this work is being done on a demo site right now. Will share this link once the updates/redesign is completed.

I have also been toying with the idea of a redesign of our home site, SunStar Arabians, if I can figure out how to apply my CSS to the photo gallery. Maybe I will switch it out and use a different gallery to make it easier...

A couple of sites that we have gotten completed and are new this week are for people searching for Haflinger Horses For Sale and Clydesdale Horses For Sale which share the same look but we will be building on each with their own original content...fun projects!

So excited with holidays around the corner, this is absolutely my favorite time of the year!! And it looks like we're even in for snow :) Many forecasts say that we are in for the worst winter that the Pacific NW has seen since the '50s and I just LOVE having snow at Christmastime...it happens so rarely.

We're cooking at our home this year for both holidays, Eddy is the master of the Thanksgiving Feast and I am Queen of Christmas. I can't wait for Thanksgiving, just so I can start Christmas decorating and baking. I have big plans for the goodies, and will be shipping out to friends and family...and I promise to post pictures of the process and end results!

In the works, my traditional sugar cookies and a twist as I use some of them to build Christmas Trees and drizzle icing down. We are doing caramel coated apples rolled in all sorts of fun topping (nuts, toffee, peppermint) and then drizzled with even more good stuff. These are the two main pieces, will leave the rest as a surprise.

Luscious photos coming after Turkey Day!!
