Good day

With Colleen back in town for a brief stay my Saturday started off with coffee at Starbuck's. From there we headed to Mystic Paper for our class with UTEE and bees wax with Mike. What a fun class. And for once I not only finished my project but I love it. Thanks so much Mike for the helpful suggestions when I was stuck.

Here is Colleen way ahead of all of us applying her bees wax

My finished collage. The young woman is my grandmother on her "Sweet 16" birthday. I thought the graphics 45 papers were perfect for her. She was known to journal so this was my story for her. I had so much fun making the embellishments. Learned lots again today.

My newest toy a Score Pal. Haven't really been able to play with it much although Sadera and I scored a card for her. We both thought it was pretty neat. I bought the mat that goes with it and am looking forward to playing later this weekend

Tina had a give away on her blog and I am the lucky recipient of one of her necklaces. It arrived today. Thanks so much Tina I love it

After class Colleen came back to my house and waited for my Grand kids. Jen dropped them off and Colleen, Sadera, Anthony and I headed to Mimis for very late lunch very early dinner. Yummy food, lively conversation. Colleen and I had to bow out of card games when we got back home as we were pooped.

Anthony who is growing out his hair

Playing spoon. I did finally sit and play a few games of spoon. I won 2 games ha not very good Must have been due to my fatigue : )

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
