Recycled box as a gift.

Finally some posts of cards...

The shadow of the arch.

My hubby took this from the top of arch looking down.

I need to post pics...need batteries!

Get it done!

What a Day, What a Week!

After years of saying no to having a colonoscopy I set up and appointment due to the urging of my gyn. She did a marvelous job of convincing me.

Prep complete, met wonderful nurses and doctors however my heart must no have been in it. My rhythm was erratic and heart rate was 47. So procedure was cancelled and they sent me to emergency room for more test and then home for future testing. I feel and felt fine. Guess the man up stairs agrees with me that the are some places a camera should NOT be.

Tomorrow the psychiatrist visit to check meds, speech Wed., Jenny Craig and orthopedics Thurs. Getting older is a full time job.

The upside of all of this is a 12 inch stack of catalogs and mags read,made cards, nails done, made cards, Toto toilet/ bidet repaired, made cards, and made cards, made decision to join local chamber, delivered cards, had fun.

Down side...I forgot my hubbies birth day. thought it was Sat. when it was Fri.

Almost Home

okay Miss Bonnie,

Have the homeless get out of the house today. It is okay if they leave fresh food for us to us.

Leaving Flagstaff today and ready to be home however lots more places I want to see. We have eaten and nearly every Cracker Barrel from here to St. Louis with one more to go. Visited two different Archivers, one in Colorado and one in Illinois plus various other scrapbook stores along the way.

Weather wise we arrive just before or just after bad weather, except one night in St. Louis with thunder, lightening and tornados.

St. Louis was our goal to attend a Mary Engelbreit workshop. We tour her studio, met her friends from her Home Companion mag. Took four make it projects...Had a good time.

Did I tell you that the drive from just before St. George through to Denver via I 70 is unbelievable scenery. The Rockies WOW!!!!

The pics and news of Nashville are overwhelming

Check out Mary ONeil on facebook for a place and way to contribute. She stated ways will be ready tomorrow. The group she contributes time and money DELIVERS to the homeless.

Mary Engelbreit Workshop

We arrived in St. Louis for a workshop with Mary Engelbreit and various other artists. I had a great time at the workshop making things while Craig went to the ball game and walked the city.

We went to the zoo, the Arch, and some stores and have generally really enjoyed our time here.

Tomorrow we head home with my head full of ideas. Onward and upward.

Blog Candy should arrive Mon. Denise W.

I order twitterpatted level c instead of b however card kit is intack.

And here it is... Ice cream sundae with a cherry on top.

Can you guess?

I bought something today to improve my scrap booking. Can you guess what it is? Blog candy for right answer. lori you are not illegible, sorry.

It is white.

And more

Cards from scraps waiting for sentiments.

Outside and inside of cards.

No whine with that cheese aka get a new attitude!

It seems like I live for excuses.

So as Wayne Dyer says

Excuses Begone

Time to get off the couch

Time to think about what I DO want

Rather than don't want.

Time to bless the pain free days

And exercise the pained ones.

Praise my choice not to drive

And strengthen my braking leg,

So as to regain driving.

Marvel at my ability to get in and out of car

Faster than in February.

Bless my full nights of sleep

And fact that I can touch the ground.

Continue physical therapy

and meditation to be strong and healthy.

Finally fill my life with joy and wonder.

Welcome back my creative side

And work with it.

Boxed and ready to post....

Tea Party on May 9th

My cousin invited me to a tea each year.  Last year she transformed from a caterpillar to a butterfly and now resides in the heavens.  I told the tea party ladies I would decorate something for this year's tea.  The theme is sun tea and the butterflies represent Clarice's memory.

Comments in drawing when hits reach 5555. 30 to go.
