A Week of Creating

Another busy week has come and gone. This past week was filled with creating. Starting last Sunday with a mini event at Pam Black's beautiful home to yesterday my final two classes at Paper Vineyard with Cosmo. In between was filled with work, eat, sleep mode. Today is catch up for all the things I have let slide like laundry, clean the house, dishes and on and on.

Friday night was the first class by Cosmo at Paper Vineyard. Fast paced, fun and a ton of give aways. Lindsey Moore and Wanda were over the top in entertainment and generous gifts. We made the cutest little box container using Cosmo blackboard boxes. Saturday morning started with another box altered with a travel theme. Again fun laughter and generous gifts. Last class was the cutest card and a layout. Paper Vineyard did an excellent job of making us all comfortable with good food, lots of product to buy hee hee of course I didn't ha ha . Adriana and Jean were the best hostesses for the event. Thanks for a wonderful relaxing fun creative 2 days.

Our classes 2 containers and a card and layout with the new Cosmo lines



Our gifts from Cosmo Can you just say oh my. They were beyond generous


Wednesday night was our monthly Stampin Up class. Great class with 2 cards and little treat pockets. As usual lots of talking and laughter as we made our cards.



My newest piece of jewelry from Jamie. Love my ankle bracelet.


And that pretty much sums up my last 7 days. Now it is to the dredded "chores"

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...
