A quiet Saturday

So this has been a nice relaxing quiet day with me just puttering around the house and yard. Both Colleen and Kim H are out of town so that makes for very very quiet house and weekend. It was one long week at work with many a trying patient or staff incident to appease and fix. Glad it is the weekend.
Last night I joined Tina at Papervineyards crop. What a lot of fun and I was able to get a good start on one of Carol's kits. I didn't make it till 11 but I still had a great time. Thanks Tina.
If you are watching the stock market and noticed a very big dip this week and weekend it is because Colleen is out of town. I am not sure the Phoenix area can recover with her being away for an extended period of time. Colleen is off visiting her son in DC and I am hoping she gets some time for just the two of them to hang out. Can't wait to hear all the details of a certain someone that tends to monopolize all Jeff and Jim's time. I am sure there will be tales galore.
So Mystic Paper aka Sherry's weakness had a whole lot of new product delivered this week. Guess who had to just run down and see all the new goodies?? Yeap that would be me. 2 beautiful old bottles found their way into my basket as well as a few other things. I was able to catch up with Kim and Jennifer and then headed to the grocery store and home. As I said just a quiet day.
The ceiling tin tile album. Have special plans for this one. Hoping to get a start on it this weekend

The hanger. Again have a plan for this too

The BIG scissors. Oh yeah these are going up in my studio

Here is the panels completed on the banner of Carol Wingert that I started last night. It is finished and hanging. Lots of new tricks in this one and I loved putting it together

On the wall below my calendar

So it has been a great day. Fixing tacos for dinner and cleaning up my mess is the agenda for tonight.

Love the ceiling tile book.... I had to go pick one up myself. Just when I thought I didn't need anything from Mystic Paper for a little while they do one of their posts and you just HAVE to take a trip there!

Banner looks great too!

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
