21 Days of Thankful Giveaway Day 9

a Rafflecopter giveaway


Happy Friday everyone!  It has stormed here most of the night, but it was more wet than anything.  What little snow we did get, unless it cools down more today it will melt :( 
Today I am thankful for sleep!  I can't remember the last time I had a full nights sleep.  Between the toddlers getting up in the night, my husband leaving for work at 3am and now being pregnant and my nerves/emotions are all wacky, I don't get much sleep.  Though it was nice to get a few hours in last night before Brodie got up for work.  I feel slightly better today.

Today's pattern giveaway is for the Angelique Dress.  This is only sized 0-3 months, but is one of my favorite textured dresses. 
Remember: Only 1 prize per person.  All duplicate enteries by winners will be deleted.  Exchanges are not allowed, so if you already have this pattern, please allow others the opportunity to win.
Thanks for supporting Crafting Friends.  I Truely appreciate each of you!

My daughter has finally decided to get her Drivers License.  When I was in school,  I was able to take the class during school hours.  It made it simplified everything so my parents didn't have to drive me to class everyday.  Unfortunately, they no longer do this :(  I have to have her to the school by 6:30am every morning for class.  My poor toddlers are drug out of bed to go with us so they are not left home alone.  I do have to laugh though because each night, I will tell them they need to settle down and go to bed so we can take Madtie to school in the morning and each time, Brooklynn's response is: "Oh no, not again"  (said in a dramatic voice).
As the days are getting colder, I am thankful that we live in a time where we can jump in our cars and turn on the heater to stay warm!  And the joys of heated seats? Well,  How on earth did I ever live without them before I got my latest car?????

Yep, we are spoiled :)

The pattern for today's giveaway is the Oh Snap Toddler size.

Today and always, I am thankful for Freedom of Religion in America!  I am very greatful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It has blessed my life tremendously and I know with all my heart that the gospel is true.  For those who understand my religion, this is the Temple that my family and I were able to be sealed together as a family for Eternity and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

I have made many friends over the years who are from many different faiths and I love and respect each of them and their beliefs.  I also believe that we are all human and as such, there is good and bad in every religion and I will not judge an entire faith based on the negative of individuals.  

I read a quote once when I was a teenager that has stuck with me since. 

 

"Going to church on Sunday does not make you any more of a Christian than sleeping in a garage will make you a car" 

 

The way you live your daily life says more about you than anything.  Be kind to your neighbors.  Help those in need. Be honest in your dealings with others.  People will love you for who you are more than who you pretend to be, so Live and Love what you believe!

 

Today's pattern for the giveaway is the "Oh Snap" infant size
