Classes, shopping and finishing projects

A busy week of work and rehab on my knee led to a fun Saturday. Colleen and I had signed up for Josie C class at Mystic Paper for soldering. This was our second class and can I just say we are hooked on soldering. Who knew it would be so fun and that we can actually do it so it looks good (unlike our previous experiences a year ago). Kim had signed up too and it was fun hanging with her. I think we now have her hooked on soldering. After class we wandered over and ate at Sweetcakes. Such good food. It was car rally day in downtown Mesa and it was fun watching all the interesting people and cars. After lunch it was to Market Square for a run through the antique store. Scored a few things for altered art and am so pleased with my purchases.
I am busy finishing up all my projects from a fun filled weekend at CIB at Devine Memories. Just have Kim's house to put together and find the perfect picture.
And what would my blog post be without some pics. Ya I know alot of pics!! you can click on the pics to enlarge if you want.


Class Saturday with Josie at Mystic Paper. This was our second soldering class and we had so much fun and learned more soldering techniques. Kim hooked up with us so we had lots of laughter too. Colleen did a picture of her folks wedding pic, Kim did an adorable pic of Aliya and I used Josie's pic and did mine.


My hand that I scooped up at Mystic Paper, well I should say Colleen knew I wanted it and grabbed the last two in the store. Love my hand!!!!


Another class project completed from CIB. This is the class Michelle taught. Not happy with the ribbon yet but will keep looking till I find the perfect color. The camera has these colors a different shade than they really are


My swap board is finished from CIB last weekend. I have it hanging in my scrap room


This was the make-n-take from Creativity in Bloom that I attended finally done with this one


Class on Wed at Jan's for our Stampin Up club. This was our mid month class and we created 5 cards learning new techniques and using some of the new supplies that have been released. Colleen just loves (not) the sticky letters we used on the glittered Hello card. It was a blast watching her try to get them apart. We stamped our own background on the orange card. Fun nite

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...
