Family Day

Today is Family Day, a new holiday for the country. Means double time for me, so that makes me happy. Won't actually be able to "see" my family today but maybe I will skype Mamma before work tonight.

Moved a few things upstairs into the old guest bedroom a few months ago (guest bedroom is now downstairs in DD's old bedroom) so that I can have my scrapbooking supplies closer to me and I don't have to fight the stairs with my ankle/back. Not everything is at my reach of course but I do have the basics. I've been spending time between calls looking for inspiring pictures of cards and layouts and blogs. I have so many ideas! Some days I can't wait to get into my studio. Its nicer when you have company; a couple weeks ago my friend "L" was up and spent the day with me crafting. I organized a new Christmas album and worked on a coffee themed card.  I think I want to go downstairs and move up one more storage piece, and then start working on all my ideas. Also plan to put the printer in here and getting it set up, hopefully it will work with my Apple laptop. I plan on posting pictures of my handiwork soon...


Have some time off in March, no plans, so far. Also have just over two weeks in May. Was hoping to go to Vegas, but with the dollar so poor and no extra pennies in my piggy bank, that's not going to be an option. I haven't been to Vegas in two years!!! I just love it there, especially staying at the Wynn or the Bellagio. An extra week off in August and then 3 weeks in December rounds out my vacation for this year. I am pretty lucky in the amount of vacation that I get per year.

Well look who may have figured it out! This is my beautiful daughter and I from Christmas 2015.

Insomnia, the downfall of nightshift

Well, I have been off work for 7 days now and not one single night have I slept through the night. I have been up fr 2-4 hours and then spend half the days sleeping. What a waste of time. Don't get me wrong, I do love having naps, but I don't like to look back and feel like nothing productive has been done.

I have some plans for the blog, but it will take some time to figure out the blogger. I have tried to add pictures but I now don't understand the apple computer picture program and Picasa doesn't seem to be  set up the same way. Lots of ideas in my mind though.
