Good evening GG’s,
I have been reading, but have been busy, so haven’t gotten around to posting. Got kind of tired and weary from the other stuff I was doing ~ needed a break ~ so decided to visit you all.
Worked on a kind of perpetual calendar/journal thing I saw on Pinterest. You make a note card for each day of the year, and dividers for each month (was supposed to be vintage post cards, I didn’t have those, so googled images and did it that way). You write the year and one line ~ something that happened that day, then when that day rolls around the next year ~ you have a memory of what happened. You do this for as many years as you can until the card is filled up. I had to kind of improvise ~ couldn’t find the kind of box they used in the picture and decided that I wanted to use the full size (4 X 6) note card instead of half a card. All I have left to do is cover the box I made to put the cards in and stamp the month/day on each card. Then it will be done.
Fixed up a little package for my mom for Valentine’s Day. Maddie had helped me make a Valentine, I had bought a card for her as well. Made her a letter ~ my FIL’s wife had helped me learn how to insert pictures into a document, so I put a couple pictures in the letter for her. And a pair of socks. They have such fun socks ~ I like to give them ~ where were they all though when I wanted to find some. Oh well, I did find a pair of red ones (Mom’s favorite color) with Hello Kitty on them. I told her that Maddie helped me pick them out.
Also have been working on scanning some pictures to make something for Sara, Corbin and Maddie. When Sara was little we have a picture of her with sunglasses on ~ the sunglasses were on a bit crooked. When Corbin was little, there was a similar picture of him, then the same for Maddie. So, I got them each one of those little 3 picture hinged frames to put a picture of each of them in. I thought it would be a fun thing for them to have. Then fooling around one day, I took a picture of Maddie’s best friend (her stuffed toy Zebra) with a pair of sunglasses on and will put that in a 2 picture hinged frame with Maddie’s picture for her.
All these projects keep me busy and my mind off the troubling stuff that is going on in the family. I’m lack the ability to explain in a brief manner, and it isn’t always the most pleasant subject ~ so forgive me if I don’t try. If you feel like it ~ you could pray ~ that seems to help.
So, thank goodness for these projects ~ I get wrapped up in them and it enables me to escape for a time. I’m OK K3 ~ thank you for your concern.
My hand/wrist is hurting tonight ~ hope it is just that I have been on the computer a lot today and not the beginnings of another RA flare up.
Corbin came last evening with Sara when she stopped to pick up Maddie. So, I got to hug on him a bit. He asked me if I had any chapstick. I went and found him one. I grinned at him and told him that I sort of wanted to tease him a little, but I didn’t want to get on the Bad Grandma list ~ so I wouldn’t. (He has a girlfriend now ~ so I was gonna rib him a little about why he needed that chapstick…….well you get the idea).
Hope you all are staying snuggy warm and have a good weekend.
Take care
I was gonna try to attach the sunglasses pics, but my computer won't cooperate ~ who knows why ~ my husband always answers ~ "it's a computer". Mind of their own I guess
