Thursday, June 11, 2015. Yep, today is my birthday and I'm now 58. Nice number. I like the even numbers and 5 is my favorite number so win-win! Unfortunately, I have noticed lots of signs of aging. I have varicose veins, some sagging skin and even my hands aren't the youthful, smooth beauties they once were. I'll get there as I AM NOT GIVING UP! The basement is coming along nicely! I'm so happy with the way it turned out! Some pics of our progress. Lighting going down basement stairs. Links to this post.

Saturday, November 22, 2014. I've been decorating like crazy! I copied this kitchen cabinet wrapping idea off of Pinterest. I did it last year, not sure if I posted pics or not but if so, who cares right? I'm glad I did those last year so all I had to do was pull them out of the box. I did have to attach the bows though. Maybe I'll leave them on there after Christmas and box em up as is :). I also put the little sprigs of greenery on the stairs along with the Hallmark Father Christmas Santa's. I did lear...

Saturday, June 6, 2015. March Project Life 2015. So, here's March's layout. I didn't have a whole lot going on in March but as you'll see, Emmy lost another tooth, we're getting a pergola installed and the basement is coming along nicely. The 2 page spread. Oh, and I did finish my very first pair of knitted socks! They're too big for me so I got Paul to model them for me. Is he a great guy or what? June 10, 2015 at 11:55 AM. That is a super busy month! I love your PL posts - Im so glad you share.

Friday, October 17, 2014. I haven't posted in a while. Feeling sorry for myself because I miss Logan and Emmy so much my heart aches. I do have some fun things to blog about, Paul and my trip to NYC and a review of my new Sketchers. But for now. Every time I run, after the first mile or so and I'm into a groove, I search my ipod for this song. I need to get a grip! And then I start to think of the early times babysitting and I get even more sad and wish I could just hug them just for a minute.

Friday, July 31, 2015. My awesome boss Lee Hisey. Said "take the day off and enjoy yourself" yesterday when I mentioned I'd like Friday off. Is he the coolest or what? So that's exactly what I've been doing-enjoying myself. I hadn't realized that I never took pics of April's Project Life. So here they are. Today I'm working on printing all of May and June's pics. I just might get ambitious and print July's too since it is the last day of the month. So, here's April's layouts. Lots of pics and 3 pages!

Sunday, July 27, 2014. Yep, I'm finally finished with February Project Life. It's ok. I'll catch up.slowly but surely. Now on to March! Links to this post. Sunday, July 20, 2014. The weather here in NE Ohio has been GORGEOUS! We've actually had the windows open all week. Yesterday was the first time we turned on the air because it was raining and that made it somewhat humid inside and we wanted to get started on painting the bookcase. I thought she was talking about backwards but nope. Paul ran out to ge...

Saturday, January 31, 2015. A Mish Mash of Knitting Needle Organization and Basement Framing! It's gorgeous outside today! Sunny and about 17 degrees and Paul and I are planning to run some errands before the big storm tomorrow. 7-10 inches of snow predicted. I'll have lots of time to knit and scrap! Speaking of, I bought some knitting needle organizers. I was looking through a knitting magazine and saw these and thought-now that's what I need! So, a before and some after pics. A full view of the utility...

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. I can't believe another year has gone by. I'm pretty okay with 2014, although it wasn't a fantastic year it was far better than 2013 with so many people in my family passing away. I'm actually looking forward to the new year. I love this quote by Brad Paisley:. Yes, write a good one. Kind of makes it sound like we have control over that (insert sarcasm smiley).but when you really think about it - WE DO! Gets thrown our way but HOW. But I'm feeling better and tomorrow is the ...

Sunday, March 29, 2015. I finished my first pair of socks. They're a little big and baggy on me so I had Paul try them on and they fit him beautifully.although I don't expect him to wear them. Paul turned out to be a really good sock model! Now I'm knitting Logan a Minion hat. Even though it will be for Christmas, I feel I owe him one. Last year I was knitting for my sister, Jennifer, Jessie and Bev and I never got around to knitting my favorite little people anything! So, I'm off for now and as always.
