The 3rd and final weekend

If you have been following me March was one busy busy month and it led into the first weekend of April. I was so lucky to be able to attend three events three weekends in a row. Each event was very different and unique from the others but the common thread for all three was the wonderful hostesses. Each hostess pampered us with beautiful decor, fabulous food and an over the top event.
The weekend of March 17th was Kim's Moulin Rouge in California. Loved it and had such a wonderful time reconnecting with California friends.
The following weekend of March 25th was Carol's event Bon Voyage. Again such a great time seeing everyone and creating a fabulous book

The last and final event although it was named the "non-event" was at Earleen's the first weekend in April. Deb Hodge journeyed from Cali to lead us through 2 fantastic classes. Saturday was a glass banner and necklace and Sunday was a beautiful lamp shade. Again the tables were decorated over the top, lots of unique beautiful spring themed decorations, name tags and goodies. So here is weekend #3 in photos

Our place settings that Kelli made. Just the cutest

Earleen gave each of us a beautifully decorated box filled with the best goodies

This is Deb's banner I still need to hang mine and then will get a pic

My necklace I hung it off of black, pink, and cream seam binding.

Our kits for Sundays class all done up in a watering can. These were so pretty I hated to open it

Sunday's class the lamp shade




And so ends a busy wonderful 3 weeks of the best of the best events. I have to say it is a bit boring here this weekend with no class to attend. The mundane laundry is really not stimulating my creativity

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...
