Ahead of the game
Some months you feel like you get ahead….others you don’t. This month I feel like I got way WAY ahead! Fall decided to postpone winter slightly, and with Jason’s help our yard is 98% ready for winter (as Jason knows 98% is an arbitrary number that only gets infinitely close to 100% as I discover more projects). After raking on 3… Read more →
Some things you just can’t post on the internet…
Happy Fall everyone! As many of you who read my blog or talk to me frequently know, I haven’t been too happy with my job lately. I have my annual review in a week or two, and I’m quite hopeful something will change very soon…however…there are just some things you can’t post on the Internet. So inquire within, or stay… Read more →
Baby Oh Baby!
There have been a grundle of babies born lately, so I’ve gotten to practice my card-making skills a bit more. Nothing fancy, but a fun (and I hope thoughtful) way to celebrate. Read more →
Why am I wearing a jacket if it’s 90 degrees outside?
This month’s blog title is courtesy of Laurie Evans, who is stuck with me here at work on a daily basis. We ask each other a lot of open ended questions, one of which is the title of this month’s blog. Our workplace is a bit of a heating and cooling conundrum. While we’ve never figured out why the baseboard… Read more →
Happy 99th Grandma Myers!
After meticulously gluing all these two layered candles one at a time by hand, I had considered suggesting she save the card for her hundredth birthday and I’d just mail an extra candle. She died several months short of 100…I was happy I’d put in the extra work on this card for her 99th. (candles in progress) Read more →
Cute as a Button
Loved these cards! Used them for birthdays for a couple dear girlfriends. Made the buttons into refrigerator magnets and included a few with each card. More buttons on hand, so we’ll have to wait and see where more of these cards pop up. (loved this one because the inside had cute monkeys!) Read more →
Putting out small fires…
Summer always goes by too quickly! Let’s start with the fun stuff. Today I planted some of our ever-expanding crop of hen and chicks into an old milk can that sits out by our front sidewalk. I think they will be a good plant for this spot, because they will get watered occasionally with the grass, but I won’t have… Read more →
Hello 100!
So today it’s supposed to be 100 degrees, goodbye to the rainy June weather we had, and hello to summer in Utah! We’ve recently realized we actually need to water our lawn again; the new seeding from the spring filled in great, but was getting a bit brown in places. The past month brought a trip to WI to visit my family, and… Read more →
Rain Rain Go Away!
Apparently I’ve moved to the desert, where it rains…A LOT! Mind you it’s mid-June…average temperatures ‘should’ be in the 80’s and this weekend we had 55 and rainy all weekend (directly to blame for me sleeping all weekend). It’s rained every other day for what feels like weeks. This spring the weather sure has been unusual. Cold and rainy. On the… Read more →
