What a week!!!

This has been a crazy week. I had Monday off and was supposed to work the rest of the week. Well the best laid plans changed. I worked Tuesday and Wednesday as planned. The boss left for a marathon Wed nite and I went out to go to work on Thursday and the jeep decided it needed a day of rest. Yeap no going to work Thursday. I was able to get the jeep in to be looked at on Friday and it seems my battery was not pulling enough power to maintain the jeep to run. Every time I would start it I had to keep my foot on the accelerator until the car had been running awhile.I now have a super duper new battery and one happy jeep. So anyway I had two more days off. I put them to good uses and cleaned cleaned cleaned. Most of my house looks wonderful

Today I met friends at Mystic Paper and proceeded to buy all the new stuff. Let's see the new 7 Gypsies awesome, new Cosmo awesome, MM Halloween and Cosmo Halloween and Bo Bunny Christmas. Yeap I have them if anyone needs paper. Then we have the new Tim Holtz stamps, new glimmer mist and the new glimmer mist stencils and last but not least is the jewelry. Mystic had a suitcase full of jewelry and yes yes yes I bought quite a few pieces for my upcoming swaps.

After the mega shopping spree we headed to lunch at a new place Kim J recommended. "Inside The Bungalow" It was so good and healthy :) No chips no french fries here.





Colleen and I had an early day as we are both still trying to catch up on our beauty sleep however unsuccessfully that is. Plus I needed to finish up "things" around my house.
Tomorrow I am heading over to Lori's for a haircut and then back home to work on all these swaps I have coming up. Next Saturday is Kim's class at Mystic and can't wait for that

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...
