10 Happy Things!

My friend, Jayne, posted a few things that made her happy today. I thought it was a great idea to share those things in our lives that make us feel blessed. So is my list today:

1.) Having a lunch date with my daughter today. (She is getting out of school early today because of some testing that she isn't a part of.

2.) Having an appointment to talk to oldest son tonight. Before he takes off for Spain tomorrow.

3.) Starting to make lists of things to do for vacation in 9 days (but who is counting?).

4.) Watching Kelsey play the bass in her orchestra concert last night

5.) Watching Grant play goalie for the high school soccer team.

6.) Seeing Spring beginning to 'spring'. The leaves are starting to come out on the trees and the tulips are pushing there way out of the ground. :)

7.) Completing so many layouts during the Feeling Scrappy Sketchapalooza 3 class! And loving them all. :D

8.) Having creative time for scrapping, sewing and knitting

9.) Looking at our view!

10.) Having a clean house!

Proud Momma

This past weekend my son competed in the Washington State ProStart Culinary Competition along with a team from his high school. Although the team didn't receive any awards he was one of 4 students nominated for the State Culinary Student of the Year. He did not win the $1000 scholarship but his parents were very proud of him. :D

Happy Birthday, Grant!

Today our 2nd child turns 18! Where or where has the time gone.........

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you have a wonderful day with those you love!

A Year of Cheer!

I just finished taking the Year of Cheer card class at Feeling Scrappy taught by the amazing Stacey. This was such a fun class with an amazingly talented group of women. I was able to make 22 cards plus a storage box to keep them organized (all from my stash! :D ) during the ten day class. If you haven't checked out the Feeling Scrappy on-line classes I encourage you to do so. Their amazing Sketchapalooza 3 class will start in March! I can't wait! :D

Warm Chunky Vest

I used Cascade Magnum Yarn to make this super chunky vest. Being the yarn is so thick it made for a very quick knit. (Sorry, the photo of me is so bad. The sun was in my eyes. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.) LOL

I've been tagged.

Tracy has tagged me. My instructions were to share the sixth photo in my sixth album. I am to pass this on to 6 people, but since most of my blog followers have already done this I will 'tag' the next 6 people to look at my blog. :D
This photo was taken Aug. 15, 2007.......Sunset over the Olympic Mountain range from our deck. (I'm thinking I need to clean out some photos--LOL)
