Bead Class - Leather Wrap Bracelet

I had a great time at Bead Haven (if you're ever in Hampton, Va I suggest you check it out) this past Sunday learning how to make a leather wrap bracelet. It is a skill I'd been wanting to learn for a while so I was thrilled when I saw the class come up. Had a nice small class with a great instructor. I look forward to making many more and I'm trying to figure out how to make it more masculine to make one for J. We'll see how that goes.

Dreams...and cars

 

'75 Super Beetle

Ever since I was 18 I've loved the VW Bug. I tried to talk my parents into letting me buy one no luck. The other day I'm driving down the road when I see this beauty for sale. I admit I stopped and looked and it is a good deal but I doubt I will buy it. It isn't really a practical car and frankly I don't have an extra few thousand dollars to throw into a car if it isn't running right, etc. But the dream was fun and she was pretty.

Remember 9-11

Today is the 10th Anniversary of 9-11. 

Please keep the families of those who died in your prayers.

In remembrance of 9-11 I want to thank the men and women of
 the U.S. Military, firefighters, police, and all other first responders
 who are willing to risk their lives to save ours.
Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Back to School

Last night I had to go to Office Max to get some supplies for work. I admit it was a tad bittersweet to see all the displays of school supplies and know I didn't need them. I haven't for quite some time but I still miss going and buying notebooks, pens, dividers, paper, folders, etc. I still think the biggest highlight for me was getting the 64 count box of crayons with the built in sharpener. It had such potential of creativity.

I decided since I'm not in school anymore that I'll find other sources of mental stimulation. I've signed up for two bead classes at my local bead store, Bead Haven. One is a leather wrap bracelet and the other is a metal stamping class. I can't wait.

Happy Back to School Day!!

Happy Anniversary!!

We had some fun with the cake at this wedding.

Two years ago today in a picnic pavillion by a lake at a campground I married the most amazing man I know who is also my best friend!! I can't believe it's been two years. Happy Anniversary baby!!
