Facebook, Memories and Life

Don't really have anything to report but wanted to check in. I did join Facebook this week. Now, I know some of you heard me say on more than one occasion "No, No, No, I am not joining Facebook". But, next year is my 25th high school class reunion and I needed a way to connect with my classmates and Facebook seemed the most logical way of doing that. I've had the pleasure of chatting with a couple of friends already and it has brought back many memories. Memories of laughter, driving around the town square with Van Halen's Panama blaring on the radio, melting your purple eyeliner pencil with the hair dryer so it would go on darker - LOL! Those crazy moments in time. I've also realized, I don't want to get old. I want to live life with a carefree spirit. So this morning, I plugged in some Van Halen on my way to work and jammed! I'm going to have a good day today and another good day tomorrow. Don't you want to join me on this trip?!!

Update on Paradise Lost

Looks like Blogger is back up and running so I thought I would go ahead and post a picture of my stitching progress on Paradise Lost. Please, excuse the wrinkles - no iron here at work even though I think I have everything else - LOL! Still a ways to go on it but having fun every stitch of the way!

SC Stitch Day

Kathy, Me and Lorrie

Saturday was another short trip up the road to do some stitching and have a fun day with "old" and "new" friends. It has been so long since I have seen Amy and to introduce her to my bestest buddies made the day so much more special. I know I speak for Kathy, Lorrie, Judy and myself when I say we had a great time!

Here are a couple of photos from the day:

Here's Amy - don't think she got much stitching done, if any. BTW - what are you stitching on? LOL!


KarenSC, ChrisNC and FayeNC


Nicole and DeborahNC - Oh, how I love Nicole's Stitching. She keeps me inspired and it was so nice to see her Paradise Lost progress in person


Donna, Amy's bestest buddy!


Linda, Nicole and CarolynNC (hope I got those names right!)


And last, but certainly not least - Judy!


Again, we had a great time. Thanks to Amy for inviting us. Can't wait to see everyone again. I hope to get a picture posted later today/tomorrow of my Paradise Lost progress. Stay tuned.....

Kitty Update

Thought I would update everyone with a picture of the two fur-babies. Maddie just turned one (1) and Zoe will be seven (7) in a couple of weeks. My, time does fly by! These two are as different as night and day. Maddie is my wild child! She loves to get into everything, be the center of attention and the more toy mice - the better! Zoe is my romantic. He loves to just sit back and be still. Enjoys a nice nap or ten. Even though they are opposite, they attract. They chase each other and wrestle but at the end of the day, they are side by side as best buddies.

1st Gig!

Saturday night was the 1st "gig" for Corbin and his friends (guitar club at school). They performed along with other "unknown" talent in our town at the science center. They were awesome!! I am so proud of them!! They did a mix of classic rock with a little funk mixed in. Some ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Herbie Hancock and Almond Brothers. They had the crowd rocking in their seats, for sure!

Here's a couple of photos of the night....

MS Crop and Me!

Thought I would pop in and post a picture of me taken at a scrapbook crop I attended this past Saturday to help raise money for MS. This is an annual event held in a town close to me and this is my third year attending. I had a great time and got to meet some new friends. I was able to begin working on my 12 Days of Me album and I hope to get those layouts finished and posted here soon.

As promised, here's an updated photo of my stitching progress on Paradise Lost. Still loving it! I'm working on the giraffe now so of course, it looks kind of "weird" in the photo - LOL!
