My last trip what a whirl wind Duck in and Duck out of town

Well I know I probably the last of the last but there was 200 of these yup First time for me to taste them I am not a big drinker and now I even know how to make them. These little Jello shooters are very flavorful
It was a whirlwind trip in and out non stop four hours of sleep lots of laughs fun and not to much scrappiness went on more laughs, fun I didn't even take my scrap stuff with me hahahaha cuz I had no intention of scrapping it was a last minute in and out in a flash was so much fun Crop Girls is a very cute little store I'll go back next time Thanks for the dinner Jan Skip really enjoyed meeting Larry so we will be back on that invitation. I'm in town who knows when that will be it was fun to come at the drop of a hat with 24 notice I don't do things like that to often Next time I will be staying a bit longer cause I 'll need more than 4 hours of sleep.

Looks who's coming to town

It's been a while since she's been to town. I am really happy she is coming I will even get to see for two weeks in a row.... We have a lot of plans and lots to catch up.. I forget she isn't always here to know the day to day life of things.. She will be treated like a Queen for the weekend between Me and her she calls her second Mother.. She gets waited on hand and foot... Last weekend she went to her grandmother's and Aunt's and took her laundry she watched movies and didn't fold one sock it was all her laundry what is wrong with this picture. Spoiled Kid that's for sure.... So it will be short and not enough time..but just glad that it will be. So probably not to much computer and hopefully I can remember the responsibility of my charger for my phone..

Happy Grad Day Breanna Class of 2009

Congrats on all your achievements You have made everyone so proud and you will become all that you want to be.. Congrats baby girl.... I know I know but You , Amanda and Melynda will always be our baby girls...

I am hoping someday I'll get back to Az

I hope that someday I'll be able to be back in Arizona.. I so miss a lot of things. My mom so hates being there because she feels like she's alone. She has my sister now which I am so grateful for and I hope it helps her if I'm there to it would probably help she just feels very alone. I feel so aweful being away from my kid although they need wings to sprout and grow I miss her so much just I feel like I'm missing out she's an adult but doesn't mean I love her any less. I just hope that somehow it will magically happen that somehow I can get back there. I just wish I could drop it all and go... but will see Just pray for me all that someday I can get there it's a dream I'd love to fulfill.. I've been hoping for a long time.. just some thoughts needed something back in March to post so I thought of how hot it is to but you just stay in doors mostly... I have become a real home body I don't really go anywhere unless it errands for the grocery store, etc.

Happy Birthday Auntie MJ

Happy Birthday to you... I hope it's fun filled and all you wanted..

Happy Monday June 1

It's already 1/2 way thru the year it's hard to beleive yet it is here. The time comes and goes so quickly the older I get the faster it comes. Still think about these little guys all the time. They are in great hands I didn't think anyone would spoil them more than us but oh boy these dogs are spoiled I am just grateful that they went to a good good home where they are being loved

Last Masculine card on list to do

I have so much problems trying to do masculine cards. Thank goodness there is only two on my list to do.. Well I guess that's not true I have a father's day card to do per DD request for her Nino Happy Saturday hoping to get a couple layouts and challenges done this weekend

GET WELL CARD

Well another card off my list of cards to mail is officially done I did another but forgot to take a photo of it so next camera load. It's hard for me to do more masculine cards so I hope this looks masculine

I finally did it A LAYOUT

Better late than never yup these photos are 9 years old but now they are scrapped.. For some reason the camera has the faces distorted IRL they are not... The biggest thing is that finally a layout but I have to get back to my cards there is still a huge list to tackle up... TFL

Delfina's Sketch

I have a ton of cards so I've made a list of what I need I no longer have this stash I once could pull from in emergencies so I need to get that back up plus I have some birthdays, Anniversaries, Get well and sending prayers to get out... This is a card made from one of Delfina's sketches I'm hoping to get another couple of them done.
