Happy Birthday TO ME!

Yes, today is my birthday. I took my certification test today and I'm confident that I did well. I won't know the results for about 3-4 weeks YUCK! I did a little shopping today, my mom and Murray sent me some cash and I picked up a couple of new shirts and bras. Then I headed back home and found dinner being cooked; brats, corn on the cob, homemade potatoe salad and double chocolate cake YUMMY!

Now I'm off to do laundry . . . it was hard keeping up with 4 peoples laundry let alone 6 now! But its all worth it.

SP Package Arrives

I was so happy to see my package arrive from my SP. I think she is from Canada :) My camera is full of pictures and I haven't had time to download, hopefully this weekend. I got some scrapbook supplies (YAH!) and some beading materials. I really enjoy making jewerly! Thank you Secret Pal : )

The search never ends

Have I ever went out of my way for a particular yarn? what is the definition for "out of my way". Long distance? how long is to long for yarn??? Searching for months?? THE SEARCH NEVER ENDS!

My best time searching, driving and going out of my way is all the time, I love to travel to new yarn stores. I guess I'm searching for that "something" special yarn that is just sitting and waiting for me. I love to go to

its a great map to search for yarn stores in whatever area you are going to! This is the awesome. No matter where I'm going, I have to check to see if a yarn store is in the area (will drive out of the way if even looks close).

I must say that my happy times of yarn shopping is with my girlfriends Julie and Darcy. Julie is a knitter, scrapbooker and crafter of all. Darcy is not a knitter : ( but is a basket weaver (love her baskets), scrapbooker and crafter of all. We call ourselves the RAW Group.

Happy Easter

Hand Dyed Eggs . . . candy . . . baskets . . . more eggs . . . did I say candy . . . dvd's . . . new outfits . . . more eggs . . . oh candy too

What a great morning . . . DD, DS and DFD had a great time. We always find lots of dyed eggs. DFD wasn't to sure what to do, this was her first egg finding experience. She loved it! Lit DFD slept through the egg hunt.

I have such great friends . . . Thursday the Family had a "Welcoming Shower" for the girls. About 30 co-workers, friends and cousin showed up. It was great.

Next weekend I'm going to a "Close to my Heart" crop. I can't wait. I want to make hand made thank you cards for all that attended.

I'm currently working on finishing up a purse, I just have the i-cord handles left to do and then its off to the washer to felt up.

Secret Pal, going, I see that a package is on its way! Horray. I sent off my package . . . I used my maiden name and sisters address to confuse her!
