Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. My mother has been here visiting from Florida. It is her annual visit during hurricane season. She spend a few weeks with us and then a few weeks with my brother in Edmonds (just north of Seattle) and then home again. She lives in a small town in the middle of the state and it is usually safe from hurricane damage, but we always feel better with her here. She told us upon her arrival that she will not be flying again. Perhaps thae train next time. The airports are just too much trouble for an 85 year old. Standing in lines and all of the hassle is more than she cares to deal with. It is a shame as air travel used to be the easiest mode of transportation. She is healthy and sharp as a tack and for this we are very grateful. I will post a few layouts soon. 

In the meantime I started taking a journaling class from the Jessica Sprasgue site this past week and that has also taken up most of the time that I can get away and be on the computer. I hope to have some wonderful layouts to share soon. Because of Jon being on vacation while Mom is here, I haven't really been able to do much more than keep up with the writing for the class. Will do more next week. Mom goes to Bruce and Kristie's today and Jon returns to work tomorrow. Study time...

I look forward to sharing more of my work soon. I really appreciate the feed back that I recieve on my work. It is a help when you can get ideas from folks who do and love the same things that you care about. This family at mycraftivity is wonderful. Thanks for all of the support.This is a picture of my mother and me with my son and daughter-in-law. We were at our local coop having dessert and coffee.
