Barbies & Mermaids Oh My

Earleen called me earlier this week and wanted me to attend a class at Mystic with her. So this morning I headed down to Mystic to do an altered shadow box with Mike and Lesley
Jennifer was hosting an altered Barbie swap and the unveiling was also today. The Barbies were unbelievable in all the detail and work that was put into them. Kim J has much better individual photos of each Barbie. Check out her blog to see more of them




After the unveiling and a little shopping :) I headed downstairs to class. What a pleasant surprise to run into Victoria and Barb. We used to do an altered journal club monthly and had such a good time. Miss those gals. It was great to catch up with them.


Earleen and Kelli were settling in when I arrived. Again what a surprise to see Kelli again. Love her gentle sweet spirit. Kelly gave Earleen and I some really neat goodies Thanks Kelli.

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...

The food was so fabulous, the group of ladies the best, and our class simply over the top. Below are the photos of my finished book. I love it. More posts on the food later. I can't say thank you enough to Carol, Patty, Earleen and Annette for encouraging me to join them Beautiful fabric cupcakes were gifted to us by Carol. As a bonus she taught us how to make them!
