Flexing the creative muscles.

Well, I just got home from a fantastic crafting weekend with some great friends! What was to be an all day and over nighter, turned into and all day, an overnighter and almost another all day. Boy, did I need that! We started out with a class Saturday morning, where we made some awesome coordinating cards with a matching box to keep them in. After the class was done, Cathi, Brenda, Bev and I got ourselves set up for a day of crafting, nibbling, chatting, giggling and in general, making merry. Brenda is always so gracious to accommodate us ladies at her house, her husband even made himself scarce for the day and night...or maybe he just thought he was safer away, lol! Needless to say, we had a fantastic time and flexed our creative muscles. Doing these weekends inspires me to get my craft room finished so I can have my supplies always set up and handy for whenever the mood strikes. Maybe the craft room will be next weekends project. I'll keep you posted.

Back on the Blogging Horse...I Hope!

Okay, so I started writing a post back in July so I could add a video of my granddaughter that I thought was just oh so cute, needless to say, I never did post it. I've been made aware of a new blog my boys uncle (also a good friend), has started since he and his wife headed up north on a new adventure :http://kerryandbrenda.blogspot.com/ check it out. This has prompted me to attempt getting back on the blogging horse. Surely I can find enough interesting...well at least to me, things that I can regularly (okay, semi-regularly) find something to blog about. As a matter of fact, my youngest son Chase, and his girlfriend Sarah, went to Toronto at the beginning of August on an adventure of our own...details to come (hey, I have to leave stuff for more blogs right?). We also took in the Sound of Lights at The Casino Du Lac Leamy, you know, the big fireworks competition. Anyway, my granddaughter is coming in a little over an hour for a visit, and my oldest son Mitchell, his girlfriend and their two kids may be coming this afternoon as well (it was Mitchell's 23rd birthday friday), so I better get my butt in gear. Wish me luck everyone, and here's hoping I become a little more consistent with my postings again. Cheers! I hope everyone is having a safe and happy long weekend.
