    T Tuesday: Think Pink edition

    think pinkToday is October 1st…you know what that means.

    Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

    This is a cause near and dear to my heart. My mom is a survivor. She had cancer in 1968…before I was born…heck, before my parents even met.  She had a radical mastectomy and prayed for the best. The best is what she got. That was 45 years ago.

    squeezeIn a little while I’m heading to the salon for a haircut. I’m having my gal put in my pink streaks in honor of my mom. This will be my third year of “going pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I love that people ask about my pink streaks and I get to remind them of Breast Cancer Awareness.

    We have company coming in from Wisconsin this evening. They are staying with my in-laws but we are hosting the evening meal. So much to do…so little time.

    What are you doing today?

    T Tuesday: Random edition

    If you’ve read my blog much, you know that I’m all over the place when it comes to arts and crafts.  So for today’s T stands for Tuesday post, hosted by Elizabeth, you’re going to go on a whirlwind ride with me. What is scary is that I’ll be showing you how my brain works. You may not want to know.

    Before we get started I have to say THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes for my mom. We had a nice day out together.

    early morning coffeeThis morning started at 5:30am as usual. By 5:45, coffee is made and the first of 3 lunches are packed. I have 5 mins left before I wake Big J to start his morning routine. Now fast forward about 2.5 hours and I have the house to myself.  Well, Gracie is still here but she’s having a sleepover with her friends.

    So what do I do with my time beyond the list that never seems to end?

    cork crazy

    For one, I play with corks. These are going to be a new item on my table at the an up coming craft sale.

    senior pictures

    I’ve been editing senior pictures for the neighbor.

    bunker front

    battle damage

    I finished the miniature terrain pieces I’ve been working on, complete with with simulated battle damage. Did I not tell you that you might be frightened of how my mind works?

    upcycled shirt

    And what’s this? A pile of rags? Nope…you’ll find out about that one in a later post.

    And now I must move on with my crazy day…filled with paperwork, friends, knitting, groceries, ortho appt. and lets not forget the ever growing list.

    I also wanted to mention especially to my fellow T stands for Tuesday friends that I am no longer able to answer each of your comments as I had in the past. I just don’t have the time but I wanted you to know that I read and enjoy every single word.

    I may be late visiting your blog but I’ll get there ladies!

    What are you doing today?

    BirThday T Tuesday

    momI’m going to confess right now…there is no cuppa anything in this post. I have a crazy busy day and of course I didn’t plan this post ahead of time as pre-planning is not my strong suit.

    I’ll be taking my mom out for the day to celebrate her birthday. She’s 84 years young today.
