Bionic Woman

Seeing the xray of my plates and screws was strange. The doctor says I am doing well. I can start exercising in a week....I guess that means in seven days I have to get back to cleaning house and making dinner. Sigh!

I AM LOVED AND BLESSED


These cheered me up when I needed cheering up. The card from the florist left did not have the name of the giver and I thought.....oh, now how will I ever say thank you. The florist didn't realize a name was omitted and called the sender.





THANK YOU SANDY!

Christmas in July (almost)

Christmas Tin and Tags
Saturday, August 15 at 10:00 am

I will not be able to host a Christmas in July workshop, but don't feel sad; I am offering a Christmas in August craft workshop at my home. Saturday, August 15 at 10:00 am. $15.00

This is a cute little tin (think about the tins Bandaids use to come in) with a handle. You will decorate the outside of your tin from a LARGE selection of Christmas paper.

Add a bow, add some buttons - personalize it anyway you wish. The tin measures 3 3/4" x 2 7/8"

Along with this cute tin you will create Christmas gift tags. You can easily fit over a dozen 3" x 2 1/2" gift tags in this box. Fill up your tin with tags.

Reservation and deposit required. Nonrefundable after August 7. Call or email me for more details.
