    T Tuesday: camp edition

    April 28, 2015 - By 

    Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday! T stands for Tuesday_200

    Last week you may remember amidst celebrating our hostess Elizabeth’s birthday, I mentioned I had a busy week coming up. The reason was J and I were heading to Mother/Daughter camp for the third year in a row.

    After a chilly rainy start the weather turned absolutely beautiful!! Mid 50’s and sunshine!! We were busy from dawn to dark. It was exhausting but fun. Before we even left for home I heard “next year when we come…”

    We did lots of crafts….

    journal and pen

    journal and fiber wrapped pen with pompom

    leather stamping

    leather stamping…I plan to attach this to an upcoming journal

    chalkboard

    wooden chalkboard…I plan to do something more with this to make it a bit more pretty.

    There was also a locker size magnetic white board decorated with fancy duck tape but that must have went to school already.

    In addition there was horseback riding…horse barn after ride

    and the highropes course that included a zipline.

    I wanted to embed a video here but it’s not working out…so you’ll have to imagine J zinging along a wire over a ravine.  🙂

    We had a wonderful time!

    This morning I sat with my coffee signing paperwork for my boy’s second day of driver’s training classroom instruction.IMG_0354

    Time passes oh so quickly!!

    I’ve got more paperwork to take care of today as well as a small mountain of laundry.

    T Tuesday: celebration edition

    April 21, 2015 - By 

    T stands for Tuesday_200Welcome, welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday.

    I’m having a cup of half and half laced coffee this morning in honor of our hostess, Elizabeth. Of course, she drinks hers nearly white with cream. I just couldn’t do it.

    cuppa

    I’m raising my cup to her not only to say thank you for hosting our weekly blog party but in addition to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Ok I’m a day early but that’s better than a day late!!

    Mr G and I also had a celebration over the weekend…our 21st wedding anniversary! We had a relaxing quiet weekend at home. We had sushi, got caught up on some of our shows and for a brief bit, I nearly forgot we had children…they were with my in-laws for the weekend. It was almost like we were newlyweds again.

    This is a crazy busy week for me. I’m not sure how much crafting if any I’ll be able to do. You can check out a couple of my latest art journal pages here and here.

    What are you doing today?

    PS…don’t forget to wish Elizabeth a Happy Birthday tomorrow!

    T Tuesday: Java edition

    April 14, 2015 - By 

    I thought I’d share another page in my coffee theme altered book on this T stands for Tuesday. I can see the end of the book. I’m estimating I only have room for 3 more spreads. Longest project ever!!

    Now that it’s nearing completion, I’m really trying to grind it out… *grin*

    plant update

    I thought I’d give a little peek at my seedlings. They are getting leggy…time to transplant into slightly bigger pots.

    I also had to share this gorgeous photo of Gracie that Little J aka Mini-me aka JR took the other day. I knew she was using my camera but wasn’t sure for what. She definitely has an eye for lighting.

    I’ve got errands, phone calls and chores on my list today. Living the dream. 🙂
