Monsoons????

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 get busy and get house cleaned, laundry done and oh yeah thanks to the big dust storm and I guess rain I have mud on the patio and my sparkling pool I worked all week on is full of junk.
If you get a chance stop by Kim's "Missalayneeah " site and check out the cool stuff she has for sale. Besides her wood cutouts she has some great empherma for altered art.
Back to work oh yeah!!!!

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...
