I went to Curves this morning and came home hoping to crash…. well, I barely had time for a “break” when I walked back down the hall and there was my sweet puppy looking at me… with those puppy eyes…. (Please ignore the ugly couches… the dark denim slipcovers are downstairs in the pile we call Mt Grotegut. Don’t worry… they will come back up on Sunday evening when we fold laundry while watching a movie and the living room…
Do you ever have days/weeks/months where you feel like this? Seriously… July has been INSANE. Anyway. Brent is at city council tonight and I don’t have ANYTHING (no meetings, chores – but not because they aren’t there, no ailments, etc) else going on for a change so I thought I’d blog a little. Today I got to hang out for a few hours with one of my best friends. Janeen & Andy lived across the street into the house that…
So while my sister and her family were here earlier this month (and I was COMPLETELY M.I.A from the computer) we did a LOT of fun stuff! This was the kids’ first visit to Utah (Auntie Erin’s dog lady house with Sadie) and Ryan and Liz’s first visit back in at least 4 years. One day we spent the afternoon at our city pool. The pool was completed and opened last summer and it is an AWESOME pool. (I do…
So it’s FINALLY beginning to look like SUMMER here in Utah. We’ve had a constant stream of rainy days (no pun intended) and it’s finally warming up. Please don’t read any complaints in there about the rain. Where I live in Utah is a mountain desert… we are a dry desert up in the mountains and all moisture is appreciated, but this June seemed particularly abundant in moisture. We lived in our house for 8 years now. (Erin trivia: 3.5…
Sadly, we are at our last set of Scrap My Scraps Cards… I have enjoyed this challenge IMMENSELY. It’s been so fun to see what each player comes up with using the same pieces. It’s fun to see each person put a little of themselves into each project. I will be doing another Scrap My Scraps Challenge in the next couple of months with different papers. If you would like to participate please leave a comment on one of the…
Happy Monday! Welcome back to Scrap My Scraps! Here is Card Set #5 This set of cards is pretty awesome! You’re not going to believe it, but nobody saw anybody else’s cards until THIS POST! Check out the similarities in design and themes… LOL! I about fell out of my seat when I saw them all together. Kathi did not know that I had cut out leaves for my card or put a “buckle looking” band across it, either. Also……
I’m here sitting at the computer having finished Card Set #3 and thought I’d better get a couple of posts scheduled since I have some energy and the next few days are going to be busy ones. My friend, Lisa, and I are throwing a baby shower for our friend, Kim, who is having surprise baby #3… the youngest is 8. Anyway… Kim is super generous and gave away all of her old baby stuff… so we figured we’d better…
Sorry for the delay. I have not been feeling well and have finally been able to haul myself to the computer to actually get some posting done. I worked all day Tuesday and wore myself out and then had Curves and an echocardiogram on Wednesday. (The echo is a whole ‘nother story… so far no bad news.… will post more as I get the details from my dr.) Anyway.. back to our regularly scheduled program…. The poor girls really had…
First of all… I have to tell you something that might shock you. Please sit down. I can not be responsible for injuries. I went to the mall today….. specifically to look for a brown skirt. My friend had one on at Sunday and it was quite loverly. Of course, I had to copy her… went to the store…. they had it one size too small and no more in my size. UGH. Then I headed back to my car…….
A while back when I was cleaning out my closet I came across a bunch of packets of card “guts” from a workshop that I did many moons ago (I think it was at least 3 years ago) when I was a consultant for CTMH. It was a 6 card workshop for a bunch of “beginner” (aka virgin crafters) card makers and I had figured that the easiest way to do the card night was to pre cut all the…
