What a Weekend!

I had a great uplifting couple of days. Totally got me energized and lifted my spirits--I went to Kansas City for a few days for a CKU convention and took some great classes from some exciting teachers and got lots of new products. I loved it! I have lots of ideas for gifts and projects for the coming months. Made me so happy! I love to scrapbook and keep memories--I love to feel creative. It was so nice to have an outlet. I even won a prize for some photography I took!
On Saturday, James and the girls picked me up at the train station and we drove to Champaign, Illinois for the BIG MICHIGAN vs. ILLINOIS game. So Fun! It was a night game--always a fun time-fireworks, jets, cheerleaders, bands--Our seats were marked as obstructed view--but they were amazing--five rows from the field and right on the horseshoe. We couldn't take cameras in (darn it) but it was a great night and we had a fun time. We cheered for Illinois, we cheered for Michigan, we cheered for the band and the cheerleaders! Michigan won a great game and Illinois played well--so we were happy. It was a fun weekend for me! Thanks James--You know just how to make me smile!

A Daily Small Treat

I love to read--probably not a big surprise to anyone who knows me--this summer I found this great website (www.paperbackswap.com) and am totally hooked. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has books that they want to swap. Makes me so happy to get mail--especially for free!!! Try it you'll like it!

What dessert are you?

Thoughts for Thursday (yep-it's saturday)

Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles

It empties today of its strength.

For all those fellow worrywarts out there!

Welcome Home!

Look what I got! Today I got a present. Did you know I like presents? Especially surprises! My sweet sister, Kelly Anne, sent me a housewarming gift. So very kind of her--especially today! So since Emily is coming to visit this weekend and since we are trying hard to make our home "homey"--I think I will make a batch of these to celebrate! Thanks for making my day Kelly! I loved it!
