The Red Ring of Death... And other goodies

This week has been CrAzY! I usually don't condone typing words like that but seriously, it's been nuts.

So here's a few highlights/lowlights of the Ronnebeck week of chaos.

* Mom had her last Chemo Session on Wednesday during which she had an anaphylactic reaction to the drugs causing her throat to swell and hands to itch, anyone with allergies can feel her pain with this one. She's better though, and not feeling too icky.

But it was her last one!!!!!!!!

* 3rd Call Committee meeting for GLC. I am the secretary and dilligently take notes at the meetings and send out the minutes the following day. It's a good role for me.

* Tuesday I find out that the Engagement session I'm EXCITED to shoot is not Sunday it's Saturday which cancelled out my plans to go kitty petting with my co-workers this weekend, Bummed...

* I AM SO EXCITED TO DO MY FIRST ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT THIS WEEKEND! For one of my best girls and little sisters in the world... Laurel ♥ and her new fiance ... Jon. So excited to meet Jon.

* Got called for Jury duty a few weeks ago - but called in on Wednesday to see if I had to report and the answer to that was No! Hooray!

* Wednesday night we got our taxes done... and that means we get to go on a vacation this year! Double Yay!

* Came home from the call committee meeting to one sad Husband. Our Xbox had the red ring of death - Sent it in Thursday morning to get fixed by the Xbox Gods... 4-6 weeks with out an Xbox or a DVD Player... Sad.

* How is Monday possibly March?

* Gearing up for Hope on the Slopes for next weekend. Nothing like an all nighter to make you feel old at 26.

That's about it... better get back to work now... Have a Great weekend Everyone!

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!

R is for Ronnebeck!
