Praying for you all (hugs for you and your Mom).
Quick Update
I think a week is the longest I have ever gone without blogging, so to my regular readers, I'm sorry. My son Michael is no longer living at home. It's been a very difficult time, the past week. I am not free to give details. He's having some personal issues. If you could say a prayer for him, I'...
I agree with you Dee. I'm here in the UK, but was educated in Africa (Rhodesia now Zimbabwe), and have a much greater "general" knowledge than most of the youngsters today. No...this general knowledge did not come as a result of age or experience, I was taught it, in school (although a long time ago). But, as Bronwyn says, they have a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips, through their smartphones or tablets. Guess I'm just getting old lol !
A Very Small Thanksgiving
I have never been really excited about Thanksgiving, except when I was a kid. There were years that we got together with Mom's brothers and their families for the Thanksgiving weekend, and those were always fun times. I got to spend time with my cousins and feel part of a bigger family than just...

This is one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time (and here I am reading it, and commenting, 5 months late!). I was absolutely hysterical reading it. I could picture the whole scene - hilarious. Love your blog :)
what luxury
I went to a salon today. Not the hairdressers, where I occasionally go for a fringe remedy (the cut you have after you've trimmed your own fringe. Badly.) A beauty salon. Adam bought me a 'treatment' for my birthday last year in December, and the voucher expired last month before I got around t...

Stampin' Up! - Easter Eggs-travaganza (2)
I'm going to show you the easter Eggs-travaganza cards one at a time. This one may be my favourite. It's just too cute. I stamped the image 8 times, using 4 of them to make the top of the eggshell - then coloured them with promarkers. I then stuck them on to scalloped circles. The base ca...

Stampin' Up - Mother's Day Ensemble
I had a lovely long walk this afternoon. It was beautiful out there. The sun was shining brightly, and that really lifts the spirits, doesn't it ? There are little signs that Spring is just around the corner - a bud here and there, grass growing, spring bulbs sending up green leaves. I can't wai...
Thanks Cheryl - and thanks for visiting. :)

Stampin' Up Saturday
What a week ! I'm glad its over. I have been busy - all in a good way of course, but I need a rest. I'm going to have a little rest this afternoon. Not a rest that involves closing my eyes, but a rest from normal activities by doing what I want to do. And that includes stamping lol. In the las...
