Celebrate
Colleen's BirthdayParty
Colleen's BD celebration started at Devine Memories Colleen had decided on Michelle's wall art class for her party. Michelle and Kim came in to host and teach us. As usual great class and a good time with lots of laughter. I made little party favor boxes with my Cricut and filled them with Dove and Hershey Kisses from the Breast Cancer Awareness.. Colleen's birthday hat was fun to make and she did like it. Michelle brought in the best pumpkin cookies from Starbucks and we had chocolate cupcakes and a fruit plate to add to the festivities. The board is such a great and meaningful project. I chose the Daisy D lines and Colleen decided to use some of those papers also. We both came up with a different take on our project. I'm going to add a clock to my frame and hang the wall art in my kitchen.

The Stockings Were Hung

I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

It's A Busy Good Friday

Image
These past 2 weeks have alternately flown by and dragged by. We are up and running on are new Cyber Ren EMR and we are all loving it. The staff have done an amazing job of picking up the new system and continuing to dialyze without missing a beat. TJ has been a lifesaver from helping me enter all the data to setting up all the computers in the education room for training to knowing the system inside and out. The Doc has been supportive and he understands and uses the system as well as the trainers. So all in all it has been a good experience just very long. For now we are on our own and our wonderful rep and trainer Ulrich is back in Canada. Guess time will tell if we have all the kinks and bugs worked out So long intro into why I decided to stay home today. I am exhausted. I have done very little for the Easter dinner at my house this Sunday. So here I am cleaning and doing laundry and trying to decorate. I still haven't come up with anything special for Mr A and Ms S. Got to get
