My Dandelion Wishes

This has been one hot and humid week with a few dust and wind storms and a little rain thrown in. I'm so ready for the humidity to leave us. My poor pool gets cleaned one day and fills up with dirt and debris by the evening. Yeap got to love monsoons!!!!!! Work is the same ole stuff nothing new. We all just keep plugging along doing our jobs with little hitches here and there. Took classes the last 2 Saturdays. and our altered book club was last Sunday. Actually last week end was a busy one thankfully it is quieter this weekend. so without further comments pics of classes follow. Not much to say today. Sneek peek of Altered Book I'm working on. This is our last round and August will be our last meeting. Not finished yet but you can get the gist of it. Yesterdays class with a new instructor at Devine Memories, Renee. Friends album. Fun class and I even managed to almost finish the book. Could be less gabbing as Colleen wasn't there. Just kidding Colleen! Wednesday's cla...

Well it is supposed to be monsoon season and even though it feels like it with the humidity the weather forcasters tell us we are not there yet??? Monday nite I thought for sure we were headed for a big nasty storm but alas nothing no rain a little wind. The sky sure looked threatening. Took a great fun class with Michelle at Devine Memories last Saturday. "Wild Boyz" This was fun as usually the albums are not boy related so I now have a fun little album for Anthony. Have pics in it but no journaling. Sneek peek of a project I have been working on for Altered Book Club More to be revealed in August. Have the day off and I need to get ambitious and head to the bank. Grandkids coming over while Jenn & John attend a social function. We have projects, swimming and maybe dinner with Colleen if she makes it home in time. A busy weekend ahead as I have class "Christmas in July" at Devine Memories tomorrow from 10-7 and Altered Book Club on Sunday. So yeap I need to g...

It is hard to believe that a week ago I was in Iowa where it was cool, green and humid. Now I'm back in Az and it is HOT HOT HOT . Got to love Az!!! Work was busy with the usual end of the month reports and payroll. Pool was not working when I got back but have it fixed and it is filtering and it is crystal clear today well if you don't look at the bottom. Plan to get out and get it cleaned shortly. Colleen left for her 2 week trip to Washington so I imagine it will be fairly quiet here. Her new cat of 2 weeks is going with her. Just imagine that! 7/7/07 came and went. Other than a big turmoil with my daughter's ex over not bringing the kids back from a court ordered overnite visit, involving the Tempe police it was pretty quiet. Kids are home safe and sound and the $#@$%^&^$ ## thinks he has won. what a low life dead beat dad. enough said as those that know him know he is worthless Had lunch with friends at Crackers. Lets just say free dessert didn't make up for cr...
