Friday

Another week has seemed to have flown by. I am taking a "mental health" day (hooky) from work. Thanks to an understanding kind generous boss I am staying home. So far a pretty productive day and I have several things crossed off my to do list. House is cleaned, swept (thanks Roomba) and mopped. Two loads of laundry done folded and put away so far. Get the put away. I'm famous for folding and stacking. Dishes are done well dishwasher did them but they are done! And I just ate lunch thanks to the newest addition to my household the Paula Deen toaster extrodanaire. I had my version of egg Mcmuffin healthy version. I think I'm gonna like this. Next on the agenda is to make hard cooked eggs yeap this baby cooks 4 hard cooked eggs in the shell. Kim cut out the letter "I" in wood as I chose the word INVEST for my word of the year. I'm altering it and making a mini album of why I chose INVEST and what I plan to INVEST in this year. So far here is a peek of where I'm at. My Scrapmuse monthly kit arrived yesterday and the kit was Piggy Tales papers so that is what I'm using. Going slowly as I want the ideas in my head to turn out on my project. Anyway having fun.
Wednesday nite was our mid month Stampin Up class at Jan's. We used the Sell-a-Bration free stamp sets for our cards. I'm so glad I have these as I love them.
After we finished our cards we altered the Target mail boxes that CAN'T be found anymore. I have 2 I finished and 2 more to go.Keep your eyes open for these family!!! when you are at Target.
Tuesday nite was Sandy's "Bits & Pieces class at Devine Memories. Dena, Colleen and I attempted to cut paper according to Sandy's directions. Can anyone guess whose paper continually came out the wrong size??? Later it was discovered that Colleen had a different sized box than the rest of us. We all had a good laugh over that.
So all in all a busy fun week. Ok UPS has driven by here many times. Do you think he is looking for my house and has some package I know nothing about waiting to deliver to me. Guess not he went on by.

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????

Image
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...
