Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Christmas Edition
This week it's all about Christmas! Have you baked some amazing cookies? Do you have the
prettiest house on the block? Did you find just the right gift?Not everyone understands the real reason for Christmas, but with all the wonderful sights, tastes, smells and sounds, this season sure is great advertising for Him! So let your lights sparkle!
I've been to 3 parties in the last 8 days, each require that I make something edible to share. Out come the Bisquick Sausage Balls!! 3 ingredients! My kind of cooking! Also I made pickle/beef rolls. Again, only 3 ingredients!! But delicious!! (A sweet pickle and cream cheese, rolled into a slice of dried beef) Yum!
And around the house, we've done much less decorating then usual because our house is on the market to sell. Sometimes, less is more. The house looks beautiful!

Word Filled Wednesday
Never played along with Word Filled Wednesday, but thought it'd be a good way to share this song. Imagine being Mary!!
Luke 1:35
And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy–the Son of God.
This week's host for Word Filled Wednesday is Critty Joy

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - next week is a Christmas Edition
I don't know how some of you Mommy bloggers manage to spend so much time on the computer! Especially during the holidays! It's 6:30am on Toot Your Horn Tuesday and I have nothing prepared for this party. :(
I guess I'll leave the tooting to you participants. Actually, one thing...our house is ready to list! The whole family has been working hard to get the house in tip top shape, so yesterday my realtor and her 2 associates, came over and took pictures. We'll be listed this week! Are we crazy or what? Who sells a house on Christmas?
What amazing Christmas feat have you accomplished? Are you cards mailed, your shopping done? The presents are all wrapped? Well, you've got me beat then. Please share!!

Busy Christmas Mouse
It was 28 degrees when I woke up this morning!! NOOOO!!! My realtor is coming over Monday with her assistant and a photographer to take pictures for my house listing. My family is in high gear trying to pack and clean. But of course, it is Christmas time so there other things to do as well. Last night we went to a live nativity and a train show. This morning I have choir practice and this evening a party.
Christmas is in the air!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Staging a house
Welcome to Toot Your Horn Tuesday. Because we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!!
As we prepare to put our house on the market, my family has been working non-stop on house projects. We finished our bathroom project over the weekend! New toilet, vanity, flooring, paint! What a job! Yesterday, a crew came and installed new carpet in the family room. (Now I have to figure out how to keep it clean)
Also yesterday, we had a yard waste container delivered so that we could get our yard cleaned up. The nor'easter that hit our area, really did a number on our heavily treed lot. So, after 3 hours of hauling branches and raking leaves,
It Is Done!
Needless to say, my 40 year old body is now paying the price. My hands are blistered and my back aches. But it's a satisfying feeling!
I've been checking out all the crafts that many of you have posted on recent Toot Your Horn Tuesdays. Quite awesome! Your creativeness blows me away. I'm even thinking of trying a craft myself. I'll let you know when I find the time!
Ok, your turn....

Forgiveness
Saw this story today on Good Morning America.
An amazing act of forgiveness. I think the average person would have only felt fear and anger at this heated moment.
Back in May 2009...
N.Y. store owner gives would-be thief lecture, $40, bread
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — A Long Island convenience store owner confronted by a bat-wielding would-be robber said Tuesday he decided to show mercy on the man after he collapsed in tears claiming he was only committing the crime to support his starving family.
Instead of getting loot from a stickup, the store owner provided the man with $40 and a loaf of bread, but only if he promised never to rob again.
Update from Good Morning America: 6 months later, the store owner received a letter from the would-be robber stating that he has turned his life around, found a job, had a child and he owes it to the store owners actions. He also included $50 to repay the store!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Moving right along
Hello my Little Tooty Friends!
It's Tuesday morning and I'm swamped with projects around my house. Here's the news:
We are putting our house on the market and moving! We're not leaving the area. We're just looking for a house that's a little bigger and a location that's a little more convenient for us.
Being that I've lived in this house for about 12 years, there is MUCH to do!!! Staging the House! That means make repairs, clean and beautify.
So far, we've planted the garden, painted the family room, replaced a sink and toilet and decluttered.
That's definitely something to toot about, don't 'cha think?
What projects have you been working on? Write a Tooty post about your accomplishments and then come back here and join in the fun. When using Mister Linky, please only include your name or blog title. And leave some comments too! I need your support!!
