Family Pictures....

Katie's Plaid Christmas Party! (Above)...
She told me everyone thought she looked like the American Girl doll...Samantha.
I thought that was so funny because she had (still has :) Samantha when she was little!

hi Tracey! i love that photo, she looks so cute! i am sitting here as i write listening to you on the radio. i noticed on your blog that you were on there on Dec.8th, so i went to Positive Living and looked up the date. it's nice to hear a voice to match the face. you have a very kind voice. i love all the ideas you are giving. i love what you did for your husband with the pocket and wrist watch. how touching and beautiful was that! i know he was just over whelmed with that thoughtful gift. i also love hearing about your mothers tea set. that was so touching. also, i love the gift cards too. i just love how you are sharing your ideas for meaningful gifts that are priceless. thanks for your inspiration! i have to go now, but i will be listening to the rest later. have a blessed evening! talk to you soon.

God Bless,
Charmaine

Bless you sweet Charmaine, you are always so kind. I'm so glad you liked the radio interview (the phone went out twice and I had a cold and got a little flustered...but Patricia, the host, is fabulous). I never listen to them as I always beat myself up mentally thinking I should have done this...could have done that...be better...make it better:) Perhaps I should start...it might improve my interviews, such as they are!! lol
I hope you and your family are having a lovely day today, and enjoying the cool but sunny weather (I hope we're over the spell of rain, but it was fun to have it rainy on Christmas!). My wish is for you and your family to enjoy a Blessed and Happy New Year. May 2009 be a miraculous and blessed year for you... and for all the other good souls in the world. With friendship and good thoughts from...

P.S. I stumbled across your blog by accident last week (I was drawn in by your office closet :) ...today I was just checking through my favorite blogs and saw the FLUX post and had to comment and say thanks!

hi Tracey! how was your day today? i stayed home and did a little cleaning. i also was in a very 70's and 80's music mood. i really miss good clean music, you know, real artist. so, i put all kinds of 70's and 80's music on my play list. i know people are going to probably think i have lost my mind, lol!! but, i got my cleaning done today. the music really gave me a lot of good energy. i think i lost a couple of pounds off my backside,lol!! well, i'll talk to you soon. have a good evening!

God Bless,
your friend,
Charmaine

I used a snippet from your book in my blog today and linked it back to your blog. I hope that you are comfortable with that. I am happy to have "rediscovered" your book.

Hi Jules!
No problem at all! I take it as a huge compliment whenever people mention the books and excerpt them!! So...thank you for the nice words. I hope you enjoy the recipes (I have a food blog too, but I haven't been putting much on it lately http://frugalluxuriesfood.blogspot.com if you'd like to take a peek :).
