Marvista Park

It was SUPER sunny out here today, so Eric was determine to get us outside and enjoy it! I was feeling a bit BLAH and didn't really want to go, but I'm glad he got me out of the house.Before we left, we took Gracie out on the deck to enjoy the sunshine, for whatever reason when you take her out on the deck she gets incredibly calm and can bear us holding her, so when it's sunny out we take advantage of the situation. I sat her down on the deck with a collar and a leash on (because I'm paranoid she'd run straight off our 2 story deck) and she sat where the sun had been shining and howled because her paws were hot, instead of moving like a smart kitty would. I love my poor house cat who rarely sees the outdoors.

Eric and I had a meeting at the church this morning for Lazy F which is a retreat we're working on next weekend. It was good to get that over with and get outside. All the photos were taken at Marvista park which is in the neighbor hood (right next door to) where Eric grew up. It's like a trip down memory lane every time we go. I love it.
It was a great weekend. Katherine came over on Saturday to "get me out of the house" since Eric's friend Reiner came down to play (visit). We went and ran random errands, because that's what Katherine and I do, run random errands. It was good to get out of the house, and spend money! lol. I hope that you guys had a good weekend too. I can't wait for the next one Lazy F is the best retreat and I will have LOTS AND LOTS of photos to post!
Much Love,
Abby

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
