Some things never change...

So I survived Monday. Work was good, busy...had to cover the phones for a bit...nice break.

Its amazing how easily one can get sucked back into a routine...we make these promises to ourselves to protect our emotions, and then out of some sense of obligation and/or guilt we do what we promised we wouldn't. I have been struggling with this for sometime now. I know it will get easier but it's still hard right now...I did however, keep myself guarded to a point...and felt okay afterwards....but still....seriously...will I ever learn???

Anyways...I did get home okay....and got ready for a viewing of the apartments...and then the phone rang....at least she called...we did reschedule - so I decided to just relax and do a bit of stamping. I realized when I was packing for last Friday I still had a few card kits left from my February hostess club....so I made em up. I decided to send one to my sweet grandma and let her know exactly how much I love her...TONS! Anyways...I don't think I posted this earlier..so here it is...enjoy!

Heading to CKC

Wahoo....

Let the countdown begin....in approximately 17 hours I will be hitting the road to head to CKC in Portland for a couple of classes and a bit of shopping...It will be a quick trip, a fun trip and a great roadtrip with my buddy Heather.

Usually I head down on Thursday and take classes on Friday and head home on Saturday....but this year...it's a bit of a switch...just going for the day. On the way home, we will be hitting Craft Warehouse and the of course...SONIC....wahoo!!

Grandma is stable - thank goodness....and I know she would want me to go...as she has always been my biggest fan of my artwork.

So here's to a good and safe trip!

Sad News

My dear sweet Grandma was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon. Things are not looking to hopeful at this time. Her kidneys have started to shut down. Darn those kidneys.

Anyways...please keep this very sweet woman who has lived a very long and healthy life and full of love in your prayers...she so deserves not to suffer.

More Just Rite

UGH the post office!!! For the love of pete. I sent Danen his package and it came back in the mail last night....apparently for being .34 short of postage. Seriously, I took it to the post office and had the sucker weighed.

Anyways....here's a picture of the cards I made Danen....
