The OTHER C-word!

Hello Friends,

I just realized the Lack of photographs I have of my Mom and how many I have that she would spank me for putting on my blog. I'll have to get on top of that, because every post is better with a photograph! So here's one of the whole fam (Kyle's in Julie's belly)... because it's just too cute.

Here’s a little update on Mom, thank you for keeping her in your prayers, you have no idea how comforting it is in a time like this.

Mom (Diane, for those of you who don’t know her name) went into her Specialist in Sioux Falls this afternoon. The plan of action is to do another CTSCAN to take a picture of her whole body checking for more spots and irregular activity. Then, radiation on the mast in her left lung that is pressing against nerves causing pain; it’s also putting pressure on her ventricles of her heart. After radiation has lessened the pressure and started to kill off the tumor/mast in her Lung they will begin Chemotherapy.

It’s a long journey from here, but we’re hopeful that these treatments will put Mom back on her feet. It feels good knowing we have a plan of action and feels even better having the emotional support and love from all of you!

Please continue to pray, and thank you so much for your love and concern.

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!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

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!
