Good-bye Ms Blue

Ms Blue has gone on to greener (or bluer) pastures and is with a new family now. I hope she does well and we will miss her. Pretty sad to see her go, but all is well in the end.

So after a really long week at work today is my day to kick back and play. Went over to Jan's to pick up my StampinUp order and then the usual Starbuck's. From there it was to Mystic Paper so I could drop off my ATC swap and Bingo card swap. Mike Putman had left my skeleton package that I had won from his Monday blog giveaway. I was thrilled with all of the skeletons in it. Have plans for these guys

I had ordered lots of new trims from Kim's Etsy and she was nice enough to deliver them to me. Little Aliya gave both Colleen and I goodie bags with some of her original art work and lots of goodies from her Mom's stash. She was so cute delivering them to us. She had them in a white bag with tissue tied with a ribbon. It was just too cute. Kim has some really neat black and white trims in her Etsy check them out!!

Did a wee bit of shopping and picked up a few more Halloween goodies, Tim Holtz new stamps and some paper. I have used a lot of my Graphics 45 so needed to replenish it

And a pic of my new cell phone. Nothing fancy just a plain simple phone unlike 2 people I know who have the new Iphones. all I can say is boys and their toys. Actually they are having fun with them

So tomorrow it is out to the yard for me to accomplish a lot of clean up

So many goodies. How cute is sweet Aliya! LOVE Kim's new trims -- just in time for Halloween. I have some on the way (although I won't get the hand-delivery!). . .

Hugs, Kim

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...
