Wednesday Update
This morning I am waiting for the visiting nurse to come and start my IV of my monthly treatments. I’m happy to be doing it in the privacy of my own home. I really feel better when I know I don’t have to drive or be driven both ways. We’re also expecting my sister-in-law this [...]
Back from Santa Barbara, More Watercolor Pencils, and more
Dave and I had a lovely time in Santa Barbara. We flew directly to the Santa Barbara Airport from Phoenix. It’s a tiny quaint airport with very little in the way of amenities, but it has that lovely Spanish architecture that we loved. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t need to [...]
It’s raining mail!
I’m so blessed to have won several things at the One World One Heart blog event. I’ve started getting my prizes in the mail.
Thanks to Katie, who sent me this cute notebook that’s the perfect size to keep in my purse!
Thanks to Beverly, who sent a teabag folding card kit that I’m looking forward to [...]
About Hearing Implants
On Wednesday, I volunteered for Cochlear Americas. I don’t believe I’ve talked about this on the blog before, so let me give you some history.
I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a chronic illness called Auto-Immune Inner Ear Disease. I’ve talked about the vertigo and the treatment I’ve had; however, on my 21st birthday, [...]
Prescott, AZ Girls’ Weekend
Late yesterday I returned from a lovely trip with Angie. We went away for our first (of what we expect to be many!) girls’ weekend. Prescott is about 90 miles north of Phoenix. It’s a fairly easy drive and there’s some great views. Before we got on the road, I pulled a bag out of [...]
Hello, Dolly!
Today was a lovely day. Angie came over right after she dropped the kids off at school. This was Max’s first full day of school and we were celebrating! Angie brought Starbucks and her sewing machine and we made dolls a la Katie Kendrick. The techniques we learned in Katie’s classes are absolutely priceless and [...]
Art Unraveled – Katie Kendrick Classes
Well, I have to say, if you EVER get a chance to take classes with Katie Kendrick, DO IT! Katie is so nurturing positive, supportive and loving in her teaching style that everyone came out of both classes with at least one piece they loved. Katie helps us to really allow the process to happen [...]
Rocks, Retreats and Friends
I’ve been nominated as a Rockin’ Girl Blogger by Joanne Thieme Huffman, Christy Grant, and Monique! It’s so much fun to put that hot pink banner here on my blog! Now, of course, I need to choose five other Rockin’ Girl Bloggers. Most of my blogging friends have already been chosen for this [...]
Vacation Continued
I know I said I’d share some photos, but, well, it’s vacation! We had a fabulous time. I’m so lucky, because Dave and I really enjoy time together. We listened to books on our iPods, music, and talked for all the hours we were driving. We shared the driving and stopped frequently for coffee! We [...]
Snowbird, UT
Dave and I are in Snowbird, UT now. We left at 2 am on Friday morning to drive from Phoenix all the way to Snowbird, which is southeast of Salt Lake City. I used to do a lot of travel into UT on a regular basis for my job as publisher of Scrapbooking.com Magazine. It [...]
