Ten on Tuesday

1| I haven't done this in so long I figured I'd give it a go. Life has been hectic and I've been reminding myself how blessed I am. I'm looking forward to a time where I can just be. Until then, full power forward!

2| Work has been crazy! I can't say it's entirely tolling on my as I am not working a full week in June. I didn't really plan it that way, but It worked out, and I'm pretty thankful for some time off even though it's nuts around here.

3| We're headed to Texas next week. Just typing that sentence is surreal.

4| My feet STILL hurt from Relay. Though, as a fellow Relayer Reminded me - it's nothing compared to what they go through . Translation: Quit whining.

5| We got this feedback from our event this weekend and it left me smiling all day : "My dad was so happy this weekend and said he felt like the King of the relay. He could not believe how special you made him feel and told me that he felt more alive in the past 2 days then he has all year. I am truly appreciative of the memories you all helped to create for my family.
This experience has not only showed how many family and friends support me but that great people like you really do make a difference in so many lives. So thanks again, this weekend will be in my heart forever."


6| I am slowly (but surely) regaining the sanity in my life by cleaning up little corners here and there. Yesterday was my craft / study area, tonight? Washing bedsheets and reorganizing the Relay bins

7| I really love all the pictures that are trickling in from Relay - Roger took a bunch, I'll be sure to post more once I get them from him!

8| Yesterday was just what I needed in the name of recuperation. I spent the day cleaning, shopping and getting things ready for our trip.

9| My husband is a gem. I can't believe it's been 5 years this week.

10| Mom's birthday is tomorrow - eat a piece of cake for her... for me.

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!
