Yesterday was a full day of shopping and a virtual crop at Devine Memories hosted by Kim. By 1130 PM I was falling asleep over my last layout so need to finish it and get it posted.
Anyway, I found lots of treasures for my altered door class next Saturday and finally was able to get my shoes that I sooooo wanted. My Red Mary Jane Nikes and a couple more pair. I had to order the Red ones and HELLOO Nordstroms they have been sitting there waiting for me to
pick them up. Guess the guy forgot to call. So while picking up my shoes I found 2 more pair hee hee. Colleen and I went to a highly recommended store and bought lots of lace and other goodies for our altered books. Thanks Michelle and Kim for the tips. I now have some beautiful lace to work with.

Then it was off antiquing. I had posted before that I had found a wall of post office boxes that I wanted, but no room in the inn for this large piece. Well what did I find but a single post office door. Yeap I snapped this up and have plans for it in my head at least.


Next Saturday at Devine Memories is another altered door class. Now I know what I want to do this time so I have been on the hunt for old kitchen utensils. Viola, I hit pay dirt and was able to pick up quite a few to mount on my door. Let's see if my vision turns out as
I see it.
Plans for a family dinner tonite at our new favorite resturant otherwise just the boring cleaning and laundry relax kind of day. I need to put my scraproom back in order after last nite's crop. Hope you all have a great weekend

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...
