It's about time!
It's about time that I signed on with Close To My Heart! I took the plunge and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I got so much "stuff" in the consultant kit, but I want to use it wisely to get the most out of it. Anyways, I'm working on putting together a Christmas Card workshop for the Pinkys and friends. I'll post some samples later, but here are some of the paper selections that I'll be working with.

Country Song or it Ain't?
Two thousand and eight started out great.
Grandbabies on the way who could ask for more?
We were expecting twin boys, Braden and Brody
watching them grow was a beautiful thing.
They made an early entrance in to this world
so tiny, so sweet, too small to survive.
Born the day after my birthday
I'll always remember
holding their tiny hands, ironing their smocked gowns,
tears of goodbye and I'll see you soon.
With hearts still heavy our attention was diverted
when dad complained that he was in pain.
We rushed him to the ER
scared of the unknown.
Prayers, tests, Prayers, surgery
Thankful, so Thankful to have him home again!
Summer was wonderful
relaxing by the pool
flowers were planted
finches and hummingbirds entertained daily.
I have a nice job that keeps our bills paid,
but long to be free to do what I please.
I didn't see it coming
I thought I was an asset,
but I was mistaken
and not needed at all.
Downsizing, downsmizing whatever...
I'm "free" now
Isn't that what I longed for?
Days are getting cooler
Fall is sneaking in
our dogs love this time of the year
Except...
one dog isn't as perky as she used to be.
Sushi is struggling to get up the steps
one day she just stops and can't walk at all.
Her legs are all stiff and won't bend right.
She spends her days laying down
unable to sit up or beg for a treat.
She's still alert and has her "right" mind,
her body is broken and can't work anymore.
What do I do with this helpless pup of mine?
I'm torn between keeping her with me right now
or giving her up to a forever nap.
Life is filled with surprises and such
it's good that we can't know the future in advance
whether happy or sad we are equipped to cope
through faith and family and friends
Who would have thought that a silly sitcom
would have such a relevant title to me?
One Day at a Time, I'm taking it
One Day at a Time.

Oh, What a Night!
Who: Shan, Christa, Jennifer
What: Girls Night Out
When: August 18, 2008
Where: Sips 'n Strokes
Why: Umm??? Seemed like a good idea.
The night started out great. I picked up Christa and Jennifer from work and we headed for Fox and Hound for dinner (Christa had a BOGO!). Dinner was good. We were giggly and excited about going to paint "Funky Girl" at Sips 'n Strokes.
After we ate we headed for class. We decided to leave our purses in the car since there isn't much room in the classroom and some of us were afraid we would get paint on our bags. We paid, found our seats, squirted our paint, made another trip to the car to get Christa's drink and put our credit cards in our purses.
We had so much fun painting our masterpieces! Christa was nervous at first, but she quickly jumped in and gave "Funky Girl" some color! As we were getting closer to the car, I realized that my passenger window looked funny - no, it was busted out! We found out later that you should never leave your purse in the car. I don't know how many people had to let us know that, after the fact. We we were all dumb butts and we knew it. Anyways, the thief only took Christa's purse.
Jennifer and I felt really bad for Christa as she was giving her report of what she thought was in her purse to the police officer. It was really sad and unbelievable that such a fun night could end so "pooty".
Enjoy the pics of our fun night! And remember - NEVER LEAVE YOUR PURSE IN THE CAR...
