It's been a lllooooooonnnnnnggg time!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post.

Been busy out in the fields or busy on the farm. All the crops came off early, or at the same time. We are finally done with Harvest 2010! Two weeks before we were to start digging the last of the sugar beets, Dan ended up in the hospital with stomach issues. We went to the ER in Harbor Beach on Thursday night, by 6am Friday morning he was being transferred to Bad Axe to have his appendix out. He came thru with flying colors!

Dan had to be off the tractors and no chores for at least 4-6 weeks. Do you know how hard it is to do that?! But he was sore enough that he didn't even attempt to do anything. He did manage to go to the farm and check on things very morning. Now as for my sanity, I told Dan if this was what his retirement was going to be, he needed to get a hobby. He was driving me nuts at home. Aside from that bit of excitement, not much else is going on. Oh, I did become a Stampin Up!Demo. I've done a few parties. I'm also my best customer, but I've heard that from most demos. So along with working full time, being a farmer's wife, and a demo, I'm sure to be busy, but I will try and be better with my blog, I promise.

Happy Father's Day!

A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,

And often he knows what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends.

A dad can be one of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,

A dad can be patient and helpful and strong

In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him deep in your heart.

And each year that passes, you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

Thank you,

Dad...for listening and caring,

for giving and sharing, but, especially,

for just being you!

LOVE YA!

Congrats Class of 2010!

Congrats to my nephew

Birthday of a friend.

I sent this to a friend from work.

She's currently going to school for her

RN degree.

She's been working so hard, that I wanted to surprise her

with some happy mail.

I Love Fleece!

A co-worker at the hospital just

had a baby girl. I had gotten some really cool

paper that had sparkles on it.

I also thought I would make her a blanket. Actually,
I volunteered to make it as a gift from other
co-workers. This would be Amanda's second girl,
so she needs a blanket all her own.

More cards!

A couple days ago I was able to get to

my craft table and create a few cards.

I really missed my "thearpy" sessions.

Have been busy with the farm, work and

small family gatherings, I haven't had

a chance to really make anything.

The paper is from a friend.

I used Prisma color pencils and mineral spirits

to do all the coloring.

Look what I made today!

I was finally able to get to my craft table

after what has seemed like months.

A really good friend from Splitcoaststampers was

cleaning out her stash of paper, and passed some

along to me. I decided it was time to make a little

something to get the creative juices flowing.
