Great classes, Great people, Great Food

This was a fun, relaxing creative weekend. I had signed up CIB at Devine Memories long before my "little" accident and had been looking forward to it for a very long tme. What a great event starting Friday PM with meet the teachers and wonderful sweet treats, dinner from Chipolte and our first class with Beth Quinn. The swap was so much fun and Kim C was so generous and gave each of the swap participants the board to mount our swaps on.
Saturday we started the day with fruit,juices and muffins yum. Classes were great, and of course lunch was soo good from Jason's. Lots of goodies from vendors, instructors and Devine Memories. Lots of laughter. Apparently "we" ( make that all of us) were shrill and loud huh??? Maiji. Oh well we all had a great time.
So today is rest, do laundry, rest, pay bills and hmmm rest

Our 3x3 swaps all packaged up so beautifully. I hated opening the packages


This is the board for us to mount our 3x3 swaps on. Kim H cut out the boards and Kim C and Cheryl S finished them and gave one to each of the participants. Can't wait to get my swaps all arranged on it.


Michelle and Kim two of the instructors


Beautiful spring flowers from Kim H with the sweetest glittered Easter Egg flower poke . I was lucky since Colleen kills anything living she gave me hers minus the Egg!!!


My goodies!! It was like Christmas with the goodie bags, gifts from the instructors, and the prizes we won. So much fun!!!!


Crystal's famous sugar cookies tucked in our lunch boxes for Sat

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...
