This and That

Wanted to post this picture of my project from last Saturday's class. I was inspired by a similar project I saw in the pages of Somerset Home. The base is the back of a cookie sheet that's been painted black. There are diffferent labels for each month of the year, and all the numbers are on magnets so they can be rearranged appropriately. Love it.
I just ordered this for my studio. I've needed shelves in there for the last year and simply couldn't pass up this deal. Can't wait until they get here. Hopefully it won't take me six months to get it all hung up and functioning.

The other night I put on my new 'cruise dress' to show the kids.

S. had the appropriate 'you look so pretty, Mommy!' repsonse.

K. backed away in a typical pre-teen response.

And E.? All he could say was "You're going to have to do something with your hair, Mom."

The kids just got home from school... dragging a dead Christmas tree. Apparently E. thought I would be terribly excited to receive it. There were tears when I told them to put it in the lawn refuse container. They found it a couple of blocks over on their way home. Now I get to be the goofy neighbor who's putting out a dead tree for the garbage man on January 11th. Geez.

Bible study tonight. I love my Bible study pals.

Happy Wednesday, friends.

    hey just an idea. How about putting your family on magnets and then filling in with them when it is there birthday or anniversary.

    I love these cookie sheet calendars- I'm always afraid that the numbers are going to fall off and my 20-month-old is goiing to eat them, though.

    No worries, our Christmas tree is still hangin' out on our porch. I still don't know who or when it's supposed to be picked up -- maybe I ought to look into that and get off the computer. nah.

    This is so cute Cathy! Love it. I made a Christmas countdown one last year. But I love the idea of making one to use all year. I may try this!

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
