Wednesday already

My gosh it is Wednesday already. I am still trying to get unpacked and things put away from last weekend. I put the finishing touches on my Amy Tangerine class and added the tag to my Christmas album from Debby S class. Need to finish up my ATC holder.
Amy taught us reverse applique and I had so much fun learning this technique and putting my collage together

My album from Debby S. Love this little album and as a bonus I learned how to use my bind it all great fun

When we were back in Iowa for Thanksgiving Mom and Dad gave me a little folding chair from the Presbyterian Church I attended. I sat on a chair like this every Sunday for Sunday School when I was very small. Dad packaged it up and mailed it to me and it arrived Tuesday. I love my little chair. I'm thinking I need to "borrow" one of Colleen's dolls to sit on the chair.
This has been one busy week so far and I am looking forward to the weekend. I need to get my tree up and get my shopping done. Looks like it will be a busy weekend

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...
