Journaling

Hello Internet,

I have joined a couple of different projects to try this month.  The first is a 30 day journaling challenge (which i am behind on already but I will be getting caught up this weekend.  I have done these a couple of times and it is a lot of fun.

The second is an embroidery class that will give us ideas on how to be creative with our projects.   I am looking forward to getting back in to embroidery again.  I haven't really done any projects for about 20 years...holy...not sure why I stopped. probably time.  so with the class I signed up for I will be learning a few new things.  :)

I will try to keep you updated on all the projects that I have going on.  In the mean time.....DFTBA

Pondering

Today I am wondering "Where did I go wrong? Did I give her to much love? Did I not love her enough?" My daugher is 18 and pregnant again.  she has chossen to keep it and get married to the father.  I know that she needs to find her own way and that I need to let her lose but it is extremely hard. I love her with all that I am.  How to leave them to fall when you know that they need to and then know that they will come back to you.  One of my biggest fears is that he will take her away from us completly.   

Anyway enough about that I am going to go into a dark place if I over analyse it.  And that will not be a fun place to be.

THis weekend I am going to our cabin.  We are taking our granddugher with us so it will be a fun weekend.  I am looking forward to the nice weather and the good company.  I just wish my daughter was there with us. Oh well what can you do?

Well Internet have a great weekend....and...

Cake....

Good morning Internet,

This weekend was a busy one....Cake...Cookies....Cake...Cookies...with a smattering of Mickey Mouse in there...

Cake
My daugher was asked to bake a cake for a Girl Guide event so we started the process on Thursday night with baking the cake.  Then Friday the fun started.  Yetikid started the decorating with the last bit of cake was put in the oven to bake.  We had lots of fun hanging out with both Izzy and Yetikid.  Our efforts were well received. I was sooo very proud of her.  There were things that we will have to change for the next time she does a cake like this but all in all it was awesome.  You can see for yourself the pictures below.

Cookies
We sold cookies at Canadian Tire with our Pathfinder group this weekend.  It was crazy cold and snowy.  We were all in winter parkas and long johns cause it was so cold were we were.  We are outside in front of the building and there is no sun only shade so it feels about 10 degrees colder then it acctually is outside.  But even with the cold we did not to bad we sold 31 cases which is just able 3/4s of our cookies we need to sell.

House Update
Our house that we are having built is moving along pretty well.  My husband and a few of our friends were there this weekend doing the low voltage wireing.  They managed to get it done in 2 days. According to my husband that is only step one of a 7 (I think) step process.  The rest of the house is ready for insulation so that should be going in soon.. Man do things ever feel like they are going crazy fast. 

Well all have a Great day

Today...

Today I am feeling restless......I am not sure why...thinking it is because I have not done anything creative for a couple of weeks.....I find that doing creative things center me...

So to you out there what centers you what calms you when things are crazy all around you?

DON'T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!!!!



Hello Everyone....

It's been a long time since I have been here and I know I say that almost every time I am here but this time will be different.  I want to make an effort to write at least once a week.  I figure if I make an effort and want to I should be able to do that.....

I have been sick the last couple of days.  Got a head cold from my granddaughter.  She is getting better I am getting worse but I know it will get better soon.

I have joined picture inspiration with Tracy Clark she is a great photographer and I think it will help me with my self esteem issues.  I would love to be able to be a photographer and in order to get there I need to be willing to put my work out there.  This week is all about you...I haven't taken my picture because of the red nose that I have been sporting for the last week but that will change soon....

Any way I will leave you with this......


Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Life....

Good morning Internet,

Hope all is well with everyone out there.  Today I decided I just wanted to ramble.  My daughter is turning 18 in about a week and holy moly does it ever make me feel like I am getting old.  I know I am not old at all but some days if feels like it.  Other times I wish I could go out to the bar with her.  I love to dance (not much for drinking a couple of bear through the night is all I need) but for me to go to the bar with her I would be cramping her style.  You know how kids are....LOL

My mom and I are going out to our cabin tomorrow morning for the night we need to pack some things up before the winter frezz comes in and recks everything.  The mess we would have to clean up if all our pop cans or beer bottles burst because they froze.  You see we don't have central heating in our cabin only a wood stove.  It works really well when we are their to stooke it but doesn't work very well if it is not getting any wood.

I have started my photography class.  I feel a little over my head and scared that I will not do as well as the people in my class. I am going to plug along with it becuse I need to face the fear....At least that is what I keep telling myself. 

Have a great weekend Internet
and

Apples

Good afternoon internet,

First off I have to say I have an alergy to all cored and pitted fruits.  It really sucks because at one time I did not have this allergy and I really miss the taste of a fresh juicy apple just off the tree.  With that out of my system.  My husband and grand daughter humoured me in doing a Photo shoot in our back yard.  Below are my favorite pics out of the shoot.  Let me know what you think.

This one is a little dark.  But I think you get how very happy she is up in the Air.

Have a wonderful weekend internet.  I will have some parade pics for you sometime next week.
