Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

We had a "Camps-giving" in our 5th Wheel! 

Which we loved so much! Missed seeing all our family members but was so nice to just relax after a huge couple of work weeks for both of us; Dan's new law firm is starting to pick up now and my Winter Wonderland box sale was a huge hit.  So we both needed rest and nothing-ness! 

I have some pictures to share with you from our Branson Camps-giving...

This picture was taken Thanksgiving Day at the Branson Landing.

Our T-day meal at the Hilton Hotel Level 2 restaurant

was really yummy for not being a home-cooked meal.

Lots of rest afterward.

Bella has her T-day bone... so cute!

I love to scrapbook in our 5th Wheel, I keep a second set of supplies in the RV so I can just pull the stuff out and start playing! I love it! 

(You can see where Miss Bella-blue sits while I play.)

I made some Christmas gifts....

I also made a little receipt keeper for the holidays... 

While I was scrapbooking Dan and Nico sat outside and watched the ducks play on the lake. 

I've not really cooked or baked much in our RV, we grill more than anything but we both wanted pizza so I baked a homemade pizza one night and it was sooooooo good!

Bella-blue being spoiled...

and finally we packed back up and headed home Monday morning. 

This is what we look like going down the road...

Sadly, I didn't have much time to clean before we left b/c I shipped boxes right up to the time we were walking out the door so this is what I came home too....

not so much fun to have to pick up but I got it all done.

I will be drawing a name for the huge prize pack ($500) on Friday. Then I'll post the winner on Saturday's blog post to start off the holiday season officially, December 1st!

Have a great Wednesday!

All Winter Wonderland Boxes have been shipped as of today!

All Winter Wonderland Boxes have been shipped as of today!

Fed-Ex and USPS have scheduled picked-ups today and

that means I'm done shipping (unless more orders come in)!

I know there has been some concern about not getting tracking emails and here is why...

The shipping date I posted on my original blog for all the Goodie Boxes was for Friday the 16th (this was the start date for shipping). 

That was on the original post, so I just started shipping Friday and today is Tuesday and tomorrow all my boxes will have been shipped. I had to ship a lot of the boxes via Fed EX ground which means I had to hand type them in b/c my paypal only charged everyone $5.00 for the shipping and all the shipping was between the $10 to $13 so I started checking around that way I would not be out all the extra shipping charges. Fed Ex seemed to give me the best deal, so I was only out between $2 to $5 dollars per order instead of $5 to $9. But when doing that I had to take the shipping out of paypal so it doesn't show its been shipped but ALL BOXES HAVE SHIPPED via Fed Ex and USPS FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL ORDERS. Sorry for the confession, I was a bit overwhelmed with the fantastic responds and had to kit 100's of individual paper lines. I actually did pretty good getting over 200 boxes out in 5 days all by myself... LOL! 

Thanks for your order!

It should arrive very soon! 

This was yesterday getting the last 46 boxes packed and ready for todays pick-up!

I had my nephew, Noah, stop by to help me out yesterday with the shipping too..

then a pudding break! 

Happy pre-turkey day!

We have so much to be thankful for this year! 

Also you still have until November 30th if you'd like to get a Winter Goodie box!

See details here: Winter Wonderland Goodie Box!!!

Shipping Update...

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a great weekend! 

I've been fighting a cold, STILL (week 3), but I'm feeling a bit better also I've

been getting all the Winter Wonderland Boxes packed! 

The response has been awesome!!

The shipping date I posted on my blog for all the Goodie Boxes was for Friday the 16th (that was the start date for shipping, although I thought I'd have it all done by then), so some did shipped out Friday, a few today (Saturday the 17th) and hopefully the rest will ship Monday & Tuesday. I received a lot more orders than I thought I would and wasn't prepared for prepping over 200 boxes (by myself)! LOL! I had maybe 40 pre-kitted paper packs so I had to kit all the individual  paper lines then pack them in boxes, print shipping labels, packing slips.  All this is taking a lot more time than I thought it would.. but everything should be done by Tuesday.

 This is the first 50 boxes, packed and ready for shipping labels and to be closed up!

 The assembly line of the kits...

 This is a sample of what might be in your box!
(I only had 60 stamp set so the first 60 boxes got stamps.)

These went out Friday and Saturday (today)...

I don't know how all these huge monthly kit clubs do this!
Thanks for your patients!

Visiting Lanie....

We loved our time with Lanie in Chicago! 

I didn't want to do an update until I had something to update about her health as well. 

Good News...

(this is from Lanie's brother)

Just heard from M D Anderson (hospital in TX). 
They advised start (already ordered meds) immediately and come back there in 8 weeks. Lanie tested positive for HLA at MD Anderson!!!! We needed some good news and this is it until total healing manifests. Praise God. Thank you, Pray-ers.

I know this doesn't make a lot of sense and I had to call Lanie to try to understand and I didn't really understand it completely I just know that she gets to start a different med that should start showing results ASAP!

Please continue to pray, she's not out of the woods, we need lots of prayers.

So now for our nice visit with Lanie...

We brought poor Savannah and well, she's not a fan of traveling.

Poor thing was so stressed and upset we had to stop 3 hours in and get some major drugs from our vet to knock her out. But this is how she started the trip... Standing!

  

Or hiding between Dan and the car door...

or on my lap!

But this is her drugged... you can see it all over her little drugged face!

Our drive into the city...

10 hours later... we checked in to our hotel!

Walked the lake while waiting for Lanie to get out of Dr's office...

still waiting....

Finally, a nice long visit and lunch with Lanie and her wonderful parents!

Bella LOVED the city... if you couldn't tell!

We loved Lanie's beautiful neighborhood! 

We walked it daily, luckily we had great Fall temps!

We took Lanie and her pup, Lola to the lake/beach for a nice long walk!

Also we stopped for some fun pics too!

Dogs loved the beach!

We bought these dinosaurs for Bella and Savannah.

Bella loved hers and poor Savannah, not so much.

(She just wanted to go home.)

So sad...

Love this picture I got of driving around the city.

Bella was, an is a huge fan of traveling and hotels!

This was the last morning before we checked out.

We loved our time with Lanie, and it was heartbreaking to leave.

Hoping we will get to see her during Thanksgiving!

I'm still getting "happy-mail" for Lanie! Please keep it coming!!

Also a HUGE thanks to all of you that have really been great about sending cards to me to send to Lanie! Hugs to you all!

One last picture that I just can't wait until next year to share...

Dan surprised me once again this year with this "Snow White" costume! 

So funny!! Love that man!

He is always keeping me on my toes!

I was so sick the week of Halloween so I decided to just make something from scratch via 

my closet. So I painted my face, put on a big orange shirt, made a headband pumpkin topper and bam.. a pumpkin was created! 

Have a great Day!
