Countdown to Convention

Tom was able to drive home today after his back surgery yesterday. Boy, laser surgery is easier than what I had done a couple years ago. I was in the hospital for 4 days, I think. Maybe it just felt like I was in there that long. I was very surprised that he drove home today, that's for sure. I think he wants me to take care of him though. That's a good thing, I don't mind. He has spent most of today sleeping, but tomorrow he is going to have to get out a take a few short walks. I guess I will have to force him to walk. It is much easier to lay around and recover, but with his blood clot problem, it is better if he starts walking keeps walking.

I didn't get any crafting in today. I was busy checking out all the posts about our crop yesterday and seeing photos of artwork on my page and on the CTMH Artwork page. I don't have any new photos to post, but maybe tomorrow.

I have to take care of my baby now!!

I must say, we had fun today at our crop. I had a bit of a problem really getting going on my crafts, but otherwise, it was such a great get-together. I did get a few things done, thank goodness.  Sometimes, the social aspect of the crop, is the most important part.  But I must get my photos onto some new pages soon. I printed out most of my 2016 photos, so I must get busy.
I have many fun photos to scrapbook...
  1. Seth graduates from pre-school
  2. Ethan playing soccer
  3. Tristan playing soccer
  4. Seth's broken arm (again)
  5. First day of school for my 3 Grandsons
  6. Halloween - my Grandsons and a few of our Grand-nieces/nephews
  7. Thanksgiving
  8. Christmas
  9. CTMH party at Tina's
  10. CTMH Convention
  11. Scrapbook EXPO
  12. CROPPING with friends
Whoa, I really have to get started, I mean, I have to continue....

It is definitely time to hit the hay, as we used to say.

I hope to post some photos tomorrow, so please visit again soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Januray 25 2017

Well, I know I haven't posted lately, but it has been a busy time. I've been trying to catch up on my crafting. January is National Papercrafting Month and CTMH had a very special Wreath Kit to celebrate. I made my Wreath and I think it turned out pretty well for me.
I have it hanging in the crop area, but will move to my craft room eventually. It should motivate me to keep organizing and then be more creative.

Today I made a really neat card for a musical friend of mine. I owe her a letter/note, so I hope she likes this.  This inside is cute too.

Having another crop this Friday and I'm hoping to have a few new people. That's the best part about the crops. We have such a great time and are truly enjoying getting to know each other.
Here are a few cards made with the Hello Lovely Kit. These are made with the pink papers. Tomorrow I'm going to make some cards using the green papers.





Enjoy your evening and hopefully you will stop in tomorrow.
