The week-end is coming to an end

I am feeling kind of down. My weekend will soon be over and it is back to work tomorrow. I didn't get as much accomplished as I wanted to, but on the other hand I got to be creative and shop. I stayed home Friday and did get the laundry and some light cleaning done. Played with the apron I am altering off and on all day. It is giving me fits but I will get it put together eventually:)
I waited all afternoon for Colleen to call as she had an appointment at the cardiology clinic. Well she called and sounded horrible. The test did not go well at all and she had a bad reaction to the medications. How she made it home I have no clue and she was supposed to call me if she didn't feel well and I would drive her home. Oops she felt so bad she didn't even know she had driven home. That's Colleen!! We were invited to a crop and Colleen was just not well enough to go so after making her promise to check in with me I headed out.

What a fun evening we had. Yummy salads from Chick-a-fillet and bread sticks from the restaurant next to Paper Vineyards. We were all tired but managed to make it to the end. Very little cropping but lots of talking as we got all caught up on what everyone had been up to. Tina had had a bad week, Kim had sick kids all week so I think we were glad to just relax and chat. I got a little bit done on my newest kit from Carol W.
The 3 of us scrapping, talking and talking and talking!


Colleen felt better Saturday so we made our routine Saturday trip to Starbucks and Mystic Paper. Kim J had some encouraging news about the situation with DAM and was relaxed and a happy camper. From Mystic it was a quick trip to ETC where we ran into Carol W and got all caught up. And as a bonus we were able to see our February Creatologie kit. It is so beautiful.
TC's was next on the agenda as Colleen was looking a bit pale and need caffeine and food:) of course I needed a little sustenance too
Paper Studio was next on the agenda. I found some beautiful papers and a stamp. Last stop was the art store so Colleen could pick up this bizarre looking brush. Have no clue what you do with it well you paint with it but have no idea what it will look like when she is done.
Home we went both of us tired out.

I have had the bug to scrapbook again. I think it has been close to a year since I last scrapped. I had picked up a layout at ETC so today I put it together, finished up a follow the leader kit from a long time ago and put together one other one. I am in the groove. Just finished printing out some more pics so I am off to create more layouts.

Here are 3 layouts so far. Kim H do you recognize one of your follow the leader layouts

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...
