FABRIC SALE ???????

Nothing is more exciting than a good FABRIC SALE!!!! ..

OK, . .I did get kind of out of control  . . but what do you expect. . . . .I have a grandbaby on the way and I have been waiting for this for event for quilt, . . I mean quite a while. 

I received an email advertising a HUGE sale . . .  and if I drove down to Salt Lake on Saturday morning by 7:00 AM and there would be a huge assortment for 35% off . . HOLY COW . . . what an opportunity!!!!! . .

There was sew . . .  I mean so much stuff I started to hyper-ventilate . . . . not to worry, I had my trustie brown paper bag with me (I do keep it close by for these kind of occasions).  So now I have to decide BOY or GIRL . . . so of course "I have to be prepared, like an Eagle Scout’s Mother" (of three, by the way), I bought for both.   By the time I figured out all the combinations of fabric, I was the last person, the crowd had disappeared.  Oh well, I didn’t have to stand in a line waiting to pay for my stuff. 

By the time I got to my car, I was exhausted.  It was a good thing I had a place to go to gather myself back together.  It was our monthly BLOCKHEAD Meeting and there is always a lot of energy there.  We always have so much fun, we show what we have been doing for the last month and share ideas.  Unfortunately several of the girls could not make it . . so we had a small group.  We always manage to have a good time no matter how many come.  But when everyone comes it is THE BEST!

So what can I say . . IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!!!

SEW What Have I been Up To???

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO’s it gonna be???????   A boy or girl ?????

It is kind of a challenge to pick you the right colors.  Sometimes you just of to make one for each . . to be safe. . .

It was one of those days at work . . .MONDAY . .  so glad to take a break and go to lunch.  As I approached the lobby I saw some big pink & blue balloons floating in the air by a big white box. . .  then there was a familiar face (Jenna) with a big smile . . "STOP" she said, "I need to take your picture".  Then I realized something was up.  Opening the box there was a delicious looking cake that said "CONGRATULATIONS GRANDMA" . . .Tracy and Kristian were making an announcement - - - HOLY COW!!!!!  this was no joke . . . My long awaited dream has come true.

The Best Ever

I don't know why but I have been thinking of my parents lately. . .  the older you get the more you appreciated what they were and all that they did for you.  They were a very handsome couple.  They were married on June 30, 1941.

Tim has been scanning negatives we have collected and we came across some great pictures.  These were in the 70's

Then we started having our family in the 80's.  I do wish our boys were able to spend more time with them.  They were wonderful Grandparents.  I know that my folks would have loved to see them grow and develop.  My Dad had quite a sense of humor and my mom was an angel and a wonderful teacher.

I think about you all the time . . . LOVE & MISS YOU!
