Clear Clipboard and Flower Fancy

Hello friends!  As usual, my life is running is overdrive……….and I have a workshop tonight on top of all my teaching responsibilities.  I have a new appreciation for Demonstrators who work full-time and ALSO do workshops.  The week-night classes are definitely harder to fit into the schedule and aquiring the motivation to plan for them [...]

Another Criss-Cross Card

I just love these cards!  Do you remember THIS POST from the fall when I first showed them to you?  Here is a sample that I photographed at Leadership in January.  I love the crisp colors and the simple design. 
I am unsure of the exact products (since I didn’t make this card) but I think [...]

Saturday has come and gone….

Well, Saturday is almost over………time to crash and get ready for another busy Sunday.  My Ladies’ Ensemble “Joyful Sound” is  singing in church tomorrow (2 services) and we have to be ready for a sound check at 7:50 A.M.  We are singing a very challenging song with LOTS of words (very meaningful ones, might I add) but they [...]

Best Wishes, My Dear Friend Callie!

Today we will have lunch with my dear friend Callie before she and her husband leave for Lacon, Illinois.  Callie began babysitting my girls when Sarah was only 1 year old!  She has literally grown up with my girls!  She has been the best babysitter I could have ever asked for and truly an answer [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

I hope each of you has a special day today……….we don’t have any big plans around here, and I know all the restaurants will be super crowded, so we won’t even try to go out!  I think I will grill some steaks and have a simple meal here at the house with my hubby (and [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

I guess you can now tell how busy I am by how frequently (or infrequently) I post on my blog………it just has been one of those weeks at our house.  Nothing BAD and nothing MAJOR — just all the little things of life!   It has also been TWIRP week at school (that stands for “The Woman [...]

Post-It Notes and Feeling Better!!!

Thanks for your e-mails and kind words.  I woke up Monday feeling amazingly better and did not take any more pain meds after that!  Yeah!  I am still experiencing some muscle soreness, but I know I am exhausted and tensing those shoulders, too.  I need to rest and get more exercise on the NEW TREADMILL! 
Yes, [...]

A few aches and pains….

It has been an unproductive weekend for me (as far as stamping goes).  Charles and I had a wonderful date night [...]

I really can’t think of a creative title…..

This is really the truth………I can’t always think of creative titles for these blog entries!  I sit here and think about it while I am typing and sometimes it comes to me and sometimes it doesn’t.  It is usually pretty late at night, I am almost always tired, exhausted, and thinking about my pillow!  Sometimes [...]
