Sunday Ramblings

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 class : Our regular Stampin Up meeting. Fun and creative as we used the new stamp sets that have come out to create cards and a scrapbook page

Last Saturday the 21st was Christmas in July at Devine Memories with Michelle, Sandy and Kim creating Christmas projects. I do have these completed yeah me!!!!

Love this concept and have a million more ideas for more books OK I just noticed in this pic that the ghost snowflake I have been looking for since class last Saturday is stuck on Kim's book.

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????

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...

The food was so fabulous, the group of ladies the best, and our class simply over the top. Below are the photos of my finished book. I love it. More posts on the food later. I can't say thank you enough to Carol, Patty, Earleen and Annette for encouraging me to join them Beautiful fabric cupcakes were gifted to us by Carol. As a bonus she taught us how to make them!
