So It Is Sunday

I have certainly been a lazy slug today. Just no motivation, energy or will power to get up and get going. I guess last week was more taxing on the brain than I thought. Just a few days left of training and then we will be up and running (said with fingers crossed) on our new EMR. Can't wait till it is running smoothly and all those wonderful Medicare reports that I have to do monthly by hand should be available with a click of the button yahoo!!!
Yesterday Kim and I headed to Mystic Paper. I dropped my apron off and we caught up with Kim J and a brief howdy with Jennifer. Carlene was in so was able to visit with her. Judy B was also hanging out and it has been a long time since Ihad seen her. It was nice to catch up. From Mystic it was to Sweetcakes for lunch. Yummy pecan chicken salad and a lemon bar. Then it was off for a amarthon of ribbon, lace and trims buying escapade with Kim. Hmmm I may have to rethink who can spend more Kim>Colleen. I think Kim won this one. Of course I managed to pick up some beautiful laces too.
Then home we headed. I pretty much was a bum the rest of the evening:)
Today I have tried really hard to accomplish something. I finished packing Easter goodies, worked on a mini album and sat and sat and sat. Did drag myself to the grocery store only because I was out of Diet Pepsi. Otherwise no I wouldn't have even gone there.
So as you can see I am truly having a day of rest

I joined an ATC Easter Swap with Sandy of Her Vintage Sage. I was so excited to get them in the mail Saturday. They are beautiful ATC's


Working on some little Easter goodies for my staff and my kids and grand kids
Susan Kueter has a fun blog with lots of good ideas for layouts, cards and a cute Easter project. So you can see where my Easter bunnies originated from Check out her blog at Scrappy Land
Here is my work station set up ready to make more

and here are my little bunnies. I didn't have the QK dies so I used my Stampin Up punches and my cricut for the ears. I think they turned out pretty good

So I guess I should get off my behind and finish the laundry and maybe clean a bit or not.
My sister arrives home in Iowa from a month in Florida bet she is just going to love the cold weather back in Iowa.
Have a great week everyone

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...
