Busy Week Comes to an End

Wow, it sure has been a busy week, and I am so not ready to get back into the swing of work. With all of the side trips, I really haven't gotten a lot of crafting done, but I was able to complete a couple of items completed before all of the craziness began.

First, an update on my travels, on Monday my friend Deb and I headed down (or up) to Yosemite National Park - Tuolumne Meadows. The high country of Yosemite is amazingly beautiful and peaceful. There are very few people, compared to the valley area and you really get a chance to enjoy the area.

Yes, there's still snow at 10,000 feet.

On my birthday, (Tues) we headed to Truckee for a quick walk and lunch and then off to Squaw Valley.

Since Tuesday, I've been trying to get back into the day to day swing of things. I did get the chance to frame the X-Stitch for my friend


I used Cadillac Pink Glimmer Mist to get the mat the correct color. I really liked how it turned out. 

I also made my Dad's birthday card......now to get it in the mail so it arrives by the 23rd.

Technical difficulties again......

Just for fun, here's a picture of Luna with her toy, she just looks cute.



I'm excited for next weekend and the crop at Scrapbook Paradise, my LSS. I should have a few new pages and such after 12 hours, I hope anyway. 

Until next time, Dream Big.

Looking Forward to Labor Day

Image
OK, so I know that Labor Day unofficially marks the end of summer, but I'm looking forward to it this year, not because summer is ending and fall is beginning, although cooler weather would be nice, but be cause one of my close friends is coming to Reno for the weekend. Since I moved to Reno 4 years ago, I have not gotten to spend too much time with her, just an occasional brunch when I'm in Las Vegas. We used to do 3 or 4 long weekend trips a year, so I've been missing her. Not sure what the plans are yet, but I do know we will be taking in the Rib Cook-Off no matter what. Yum! I have been working on a few crafty things the past few weeks, the first thing is, I finished a cross-stitch picture for a dear friend, he requested a night winter scene quite a few years ago, I finally found the right scene and after a year...it's finished. With a simple frame and white (stickled) mat, I think it turned out really well. The challenge for the CropChocolate focus grou...
