I was so happy to wake up to the glorious blue sky on Day 6 of our trip through Scotland. It had been my home in 1985 and 1986 and while I had been back to England since that time, this was my first trip back to Scotland since. It was the first trip to the country at all for my husband and daughter. Today was the day that we would not only be driving through the town where I had lived - but the building itself is now open for lunch and tea. We had arranged our day to be … [Read more...] about Scotland Day 6 – Heading towards 'Home" through the Highlands of Glencoe

Back to our Scotland Trip – Finishing Off Day Five! Glenfinnan to Oban
Today we finalized the last of our plans for our spring break trip to Ireland in March. I am determined to get the pictures of our trip to Scotland up BEFORE we leave!

Celebrate a Picture Perfect You!
Today's card is a fun one - pieced together from several new things - from several different suites. I designed it as the extra wow card for workshops this quarter. It has a little bit of everything to show off once we have covered the basics in a workshop.The thinlits are a FREE Sale-A-Bration selection this year!! Love them! They add so much to your card. The words are commonly used in our sayings, so it gave me the idea to simply replace the small words with the … [Read more...] about Celebrate a Picture Perfect You!

Not the Start to 2018 I had planned……
Happy 2018! Hope your Holidays were wonderful. Mine unfortunately ended on a *ill* note - as I came down with a nasty bug and spent nearly every hour from just after Christmas til this past weekend in bed. I happy to say I am on the mend, but low energy and the nagging cough - and so far behind on where I had wanted to be. But that's ok. I am just going to start this week and forget about the lofty goals I had set for the first few days of the year. If you … [Read more...] about Not the Start to 2018 I had planned……
