Spring, Bling and Classes

As usual this has been a busy week. I over extended (me you say??) and signed up for 4 classes this week. Loved each one of them and learned new techniques in each one of them but today I'm tired. For the most part I have completed all the projects and need to put pictures on the layouts.
Spring has finally arrived and I'm hoping that as the days go on my plant life will continue to recover from the freeze. I'm trying really hard to be patient and not prune all the dead stuff off as the experts have said be patient. Patience is not one of my many virtues! below is my blooming vine. It survived and is so pretty. Friday was a soldering class in Phoenix and before class Colleen and I went shopping. Surprise us shopping!!! I seem to be into B-L-I-N-G so below are my newest bling finds. A bracelet and watch with tons of bling.



Thursday was class with Michelle, continuing our book of me. This month was likes and dislikes Here is the page of likes



Tuesday was "Follow the Leader with Michelle and Kim at Devine Memories". I have to get a pic and journaling on Michelle's which was working with clay. Anthony loves it so all is good. Kim's class was weaving and this picture of Sadera was perfect for this layout.

Friday was soldering class at Lucky 15. Not a good pic but ya get the general idea. I have lots of practice ahead to master this technique


Saturday we were back to Devine Memories and Amy's class with chipboard. I learned lots of new techniques of using chipboard and have some great embellishments and 2 very unique layouts.





So today is my day of kick back and chill. Just a few things like laundry, clean the house and yeap work on the pool. Hope everyone has had a great week and I'm looking forward to INVESTING in a new week

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
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

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
