My sister, Jennie, could not come to the celebration, but did make arrangements from Alaska to have amazing cupcakes at the celebration. Jeremy and I just had to go pick them up. This place was amazing!

Broke the Bed?

Picture
We always end up on the pull-out couch. Thats fine. BUT, this couch was already broken. As soon as went to lay down on it, the whole thing folded up on us.

LIME Scooters

Our hotel was about a mile form the convention center where the music conference was being held and about half a mile from the Riverwalk. We used the LIME app to rent scooters to get around the city to avoid rediculous parking fees.

Valentine Cards

2/10/2019

 
Picture
This will be my last big batch of cards for awhile. I have been making at least 300 handmade cards each year for the last 10 or more years. These cards started from using up the scraps from my scrapbooking and has grown into a project all of their own. The list of people who have been receiving these cards has been growing greatly each year.

Unfortunately, I cannot keep up with my teaching, scrapbooking, card making, and keep a general balance in my life. You will be seeing a lot fewer cards from me in the coming weeks, months, and years.
