new studio photos!

well......a friend from the lss (nancy W!!!) was chatting via email with someone and showing some photos of her space and invited the lady to check out photos of my studio on the blog! well......this lady is publishing a book about scrap spaces and liked it!!! soooooo......needless to say i sent photos of the cleaned up room and she said she loves it!!! would like to add it to her book.......and will send out interview questions in a couple of weeks!!! how cool would that be!! guess i'll just have to wait and see what happens!!!

anyways.....spent the weekend in the pool.....cocktails in hand......just relaxing and having fun with friends and family! now it's time to recover and get ready for the work week.....ick!!!

hope everyone is doing well.....miss so very many friends.....and would love to just sit and chat!

i love my life so much!!!

our loss, heaven's gain

this is the dear friend that we all lost this past friday.....he was doing what he loved.....climbing a mountain....angel's landing in zion national park. and i guess enough angels saw him.... realized his potential....and just swept him away! i know that he is okay.....it's just the hole in our hearts that are left aching for this man!

this week has been trying at the surgery center.....new people coming in.....trying to fill shoes that are way to large for them.......we all just need time..... the person who is selected to come to work will have to prove themselves in so many ways.......and it's unfortunate for them.....barry was a force....a perfectionist.....and he demanded that from his co-worker's also.

i'm sure with time we will all welcome another member into our fold.....just not now....it's too soon.



this saturday is the race for the cure......i am on a couple of teams.....carolina sue's crew, and also "help pickett kick it".....two very dear women in my life. sue is a survivor of a few years....and inga is just about to finish her chemo. my prayers are for each and everyone that has or will face this disease to have recovery and survival. i also have another dear friend that is a survivor.....lyn meeker.....she is not in st. louis.....but in arizona and i race for her too!!!


today was spent working on the secret sister information for Creative escape......just 3 short months and we will all be in arizona again.......happily playing with paper and glue.......losing sleep.....running on empty......and having the time of our lives!! i can't wait to see some of the friends i made last summer and reconnect with them!!

i love my life!!!

yeah.....here i am again....

and obviously i don't know how to use blogger very well......oh poop.....who cares!!

i finished up my little photo matchbook today......and have gotten a few things done! still not feeling like my self.....just feeling old......damn....don't ya hate that!!

hoping to talk with kath w in the next couple of days....gotta get rolling on the secret sister stuff for CE......man......it's unbelievable that in just a few months we'll be in az again.....hanging out.....dipping our toes in the water......sipping on cocktails......and renewing old friendships....and building new ones! i can't wait!!

well....i'll show you the insides of the matchbook......this was fun! just wish i had a couple of months off.......i would really like to get some things done.......like the charms sitting in front of me........i know, megan......i'll get em done!!

i love my life!

holy smokes.....here i am again!
