So, I am at my friends house as we are having a beginning blog class for our ward. There are 6 of us here, and we are having a great time creating blogs for those of us who didn’t have them before tonight. I have to admit to being surprised that it has been since [...]

New Kitchen Chairs

I am just thrilled! When we bought our kitchen dining set, we loved everything about it, except for the fabric on the chairs. Well, I finally recovered them today. They went from a boring beige pattern to crimson red with caramel stripes. I was very lucky and found the fabric on a price reduction for [...]

It is amazing how a simple night out can be just what you need. Last night Chris and I went out to dinner with our friends the Browers and the Smiths. We went to Red Robin’s and had a great time! We shared stories, ate, and spent most of the night just laughing as we [...]
My friend, a Bead Star!!!

One of the greatest things to come from making jewelry and beads, is the fantastic friendships I have made with ladies from all over the world. Most of us met online at Lampwork Etc which is for me kind of like the office water cooler. It is a place to share, learn, and yes, just [...]

Well, it has been a week since I set my goals for the year, and I thought I would see how I am doing. So far so good, except I didn’t list anything new on etsy last week. I did reopen my store though since I had it in vacation mode while I was busy [...]

I am grateful that I am not in danger of any of the flooding. My heart goes out to all who are having to flee their homes to get to safety. While I can’t do much, the girls and I made over 200 cookies tonight to take to our Fire Station for all of the [...]

I love this show! I think it is so inspirational to so many of us. A bunch of friends started our own Biggest Loser tonight at the gym. We weighed in, took a BMI measurement, and of course the before pictures. It is going to be fun to support each other through the season (we [...]

Yesterday the kids went back to school. Everyone woke up in great moods, everything went as smooth as it can in the mornings, I was thrilled to say the least. Fast forward to this morning….let’s see, we all went to bed earlier, and yet everyone (except for Travis who is always happy in the morning) [...]
