a quiet week on the home front?

Went to Bandera, Texas yesterday. My hometown. Visited the parental units for a bit, scrapbooked with my mom-her retirement party from last August. Also took her a 2010 calendar made just for her, complete with photos of her friends & grandkids in the month of their birthdays. Was a lot of fun making both of them. Dad....Dad gets brownies I DON'T make, bc I love him. LOL. I don't cut the hair of people I love either, bc there just are not enough of them & I don't wanna lose any friends over food or haircuts. :-)

Saturday was supposed to be "cards by chaotic" day. Did I get a lot of cards done? Only about 10. But I DID get to spend an hour & a half with my new Septic Guy & learning about my aerobic system from start to finish. Interesting stuff, actually. So did not get a lot done on the card end but it was still a productive day. My goal is to make 50 cards a month and then take them to my rack in Bastrop Market. January 16th is the next day for me to go and rotate stock. So... this week, while we have no other "out of the home" activities planned, I will make cards nightly. Need 40 more in 4 evenings...10 a night. Sometimes it is just HARD to be that creative on demand. But I shall persevere!

Highlowaha is looking at helping us attain at least one "soul resolution" this year... for more on that go visit them HERE.

So, being from the Cowboy capital of the World... do you consider yourself a Cowgirl?

Under pressure? I always find inspiration at Splitcoast Stampers. So cool you have a RACK to sell your cards.

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
