Saturday in review

Saturday was a fun filled long and in the end hot day!!!! My adventures started out with a trip to Market Square with Colleen. We lucked out and found lots of treasures for our altered art projects. Then it was to lunch at the Wildflower and then on to DM for altered book meeting and as invited guests for the run through of the classes Sandy and Michele are teaching at CKU. A little hot at DM as there was a slight problem with the air conditioning. Michelle had a great solution with the frozen water bottles to help keep us cool. We ended a great day with dinner with Sandy, Michelle and Kim at Jason's Deli. Mmmmmmm great food.

Here are a few photos of our classes and treasures for the day. As we all know I post lots of pics!!!!
Michelle's altered photo frame and the cutest tag that I somehow missed on the pic when I was taking it

Well this pic is out of order but oh well here is the cabinet I bought from Market Square. My plan ( I know my plans don't always work out) was to put this in my bathroom. Oops I under-estimated the size so it is in the guest bathroom and actually looks really good in there. Like I planned for it to be there
The cabinet b4 it's move to the bathroom

Lots of hankies and linen finger tip towls, sheet music, buttons and a book with children's songs in it
Michael's canvas and paper mache witch's shoe from a brief trip there. Look out for that project as I have a great idea so we will see if it turns out
So all in all a long but fun filled day with good shopping and good friends what more could I ask and no driving mishaps!!

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...
