Friday

Yeap I'm mixing it up and not blogging on my usual Sunday. I once again am home on Friday! Had a list and great plans for getting all this stuff done both inside and out. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men? So I'm doing fun things today. I must say that even though the pool is not cleaned and the house has not been cleaned yet I do have 2 loads of laundry done and am poking around organizing stuff in my scrap room plus I'm playing. So all in all a very good day.
Took a dress template and altered it. I have had so much fun doing this that I'm doing a whole series of them. Working on a ballet one now. Plan to somehow hang them up like a banner type thing in my scrap room Just because they make me happy!
QUEEN necklace from last weekends adventures. Love this blinged out guady thing and wore it to work. At least Claudia loved it. But it has special significance for Caudia and I. Hey Claudia, Colleen and Kim PLP!!!!!!!!!

Back of the Halloween mini book for the grandkids pics this year


Front cover of the same book.

So Colleen has another adventure planned for us tomorrow either Art Unraveled or the stamping convention in Mesa. And after last weekend in Glendale I bet we are headed to Mesa via Starbucks and Mystic Paper as I hear there mite be another homeless baby doll waiting for adoption. You just never know. Me I'm done buying I bet you are all laughing at that one. But really I have no more room for antique finds, paper, ribbons etc ya stamps too so I'm on the browse mode

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...
