Monday Montage #56

Today I am feeling so totally grateful ... had a WONDERFUL day yesterday with our extended family doing the Annual Weixler Apple Pressing Day in Alpine. Couple of WEIRD things happened that could have had such TERRIBLE outcomes ... but didn't!!! Everyone is safe, happy and had a great time together. Amazing how easily we can take things for granted. Needless to say, I want to hug EVERYone today!!! (So consider yourself HUGGED if you are reading this!!)

Grateful to be part of this amazing group of women for the Monday Montage Blog Hop. They are sweet, kind, funny and WICKEDLY talented. A true blessing in my life, to be sure!! And after all of this crazy WARM AND MUSHY stuff on gratitude I have ... a CHRISTMAS card to share!!
