Moulin classes and swaps

It is a week later and I am still in a haze of Moulin goodness, feathers, glitter and still unpacking. It is taking me forever to unpack all the lovely things from the goody bags, tablemate gifts and the beautiful things Kim bestowed on us each day.
Friday began classes. Our first class was with Shea and Debbie. They walked us through designing a beautiful necklace. I was shocked that I was able to do it and I do love my necklace. Next up after a fab lunch outside on the patio was Jenny and Aron's can can stage. Not finished with this one yet so no pics. Throughout the day Kim gave away the most beautiful gifts donated by some lovely gals.
Friday evening was our much anticipated swaps and desserts. I joined 4 swaps and had so much fun making and receiving them.

Moulin has been one of my favorite Kim events although each and everyone was special. I was sad toleave and come back to reality.

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????

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...
