My Dandelion Wishes

Memory board we did at class Thursday nite. This is a cupboard door that we altered. Just the neatest class. So it is Friday and I'm looking forward to a long weekend of relaxation and serious pool time. Breakfast this am with Colleen and Beth and then to IKEA for their 50% sale. Probably will be a madhouse but we have Colleen to forge a path. Catch up later on the events of the weekend

Anthony graduated from pre-kindergarten Friday @ 5:30. This was my type of graduation short and sweet. We were done before 6 pm. Each class sang 2 songs and then got their certificates. Above Anthony didn't miss a beat. He sang the song and did all the hand movements perfect. They had to walk over the bridge to get their certificate. I surprised Anthony he didn't know I was coming. I got a big hug and smile. He even let me hold the flower bouquet that he had made for Jennifer. Note the bracelet he made out of pipe cleaners. After the little ceremony cake and juice. Good ending to a aspecial day for Anthony.

Pics of Jan's class Wed "A get in the mood for summer" class. It is Friday and I have the day off (again) thank you Boss. For some reason I was really really tired this week. (I know it must be my new latest craze get healthy!! I am trying to exercise every day, so despite stiff joints and sore muscles I have 90% met my goal. I know one should love workouts. I hate them with a passion.) It totally seemed like the week was never going to end. Anyway no special plans yet just the usual, haircut, clean, laundry and scrapbook.

I've joined the new technology and have a new cell phone with a wireless headset in what other color but PINK. Love my new phone and thanks to TJ have my voice mail set up, can take pics and I have an idea how to use the headpiece. Thanks TJ Class Tuesday nite. This is TJ's BD present. Hope he likes it. So much fun to do.

Friday was organization Quest. I'm at the point that I need to get things in order so I know what I have and what I need. I have already started on the piles of paper and now have 80% of my patterned paper organized by manufacturer or theme. So Colleen and I decided that Friday was the day for an IKEA visit. We asked Beth to join us and off we headed to breakfast at IKEA and then shopping. Breakfast was soooo good and the temptation was great to try the huge cinnamon rolls, but we resisted. After energizing ourselves we hit the floor running literally. Colleen is like a tornado and off we went. First stop the wire basket drawers we have been looking for. Found them and three fully loaded carts later we wandered through the maze to checkout. Then to the car. Now we have 12 frames and 48 drawers to load in her Mercedes plus the 3 of us. Get the picture?? We were packed with room for Beth and Colleen in front and me squished in the back surrounded by wire baskets. If we c...

After our class at Ink It we headed over to Jan's Stampin Up open house "Cards, Cocktails and O'dheurves". What a blast! John was the officially barman and chef. Great food. Huge shrimp grilled to perfection, chicken kabobs, veggies and dips and margaritas oh my. Needless to say making of cards was a fun treat with all the goodies we ate and drank. Great fun.

Book is finally finished. I like this little book. Clay embellishments were easy and added a lot of dimesion to the book.

Mary Ellen, Colleen holding flat Victoria in her last great adventure, Jenny @ Ink It. This was a fun fun fun class. Enlightment was the name of the book. I need to finish one page and put budahs on the pages. Embellishments made with clay. This is so fun.

This was another great class at Devine Memories. Lance "Mr Pickle" was laid back, calm, and oh so patient with a room full of women. Great class great book. Still have some finishing to do. Cover of the Sweet & Sassy Book.

Food,family, and F-U-N!!! We had a super great relaxing fun day with lots of good food, games and laughter. The pork loin roast turned out super moist and tender, and all the sides were soo good. As usual too much food. Anthony was happy with his deviled eggs as Grandma Sherry followed the "rule" and had eggs on Easter. Following our meal the kids opened their baskets and then we played with all their stuff. We ended the day with CLUE. Cheaters were among us! Lots of laughs that is for sure. Hope all our family, friends and special people in our lives had a good day.
