Ten on Thursday (Give me a break - it's been a tough week)

1- I'm in South Dakota - 3rd time this year, 2nd time in 3 weeks. Mom is sick, really sick, like not leaving the house kind of sick. We're all together though, that helps.

2- Working remotely has given me the chance to be with my family right now - what a wonderful blessing and thank you KMS for everything this opportunity has given me.

3- Kathy, Kevin, Erica and I set up Kathy's pool the first day I got here. I'm so excited to take a dip.

4- Erica was more excited than I was, she jumped in tonight - though Uncle Todd sweetened the deal with some cold hard cash.

5- Hanging out with Mom is so peaceful. I never thought I could be idle enough to just sit, hold my Mom's hand and gaze out the window.

6- My flight into the Rockies was Rocky... I hate flying into Denver.

7- I feel at home here, but I miss my Aquaman, Gracie and yes, that Husband of mine too.

8- Heart to hearts with your sister, aunt, grandma or niece can be just the right medicine.

9- We would love some cheer via snail mail - stick a card in the box... it would brighten our day.

10 - wow, this post is kind of drab... meh, such is life.

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!
