old, new, happy and a little blue...


Today was kind of a rough one interspersed with a little bit of beauty and happiness. Tomorrow my little family is leaving me for 6 days in MN to attend the wedding of a friend and to spend time with the hubby's family. I know I will miss them, eventually, but after today I am all too eager to have a break from the three year old terror that is is currently residing in my household. I swear 3 is WAY harder than 2!!!

I was looking forward to a lunch date with my Dad, aka Portals' Fairy God-Father, but got a phone call instead saying that he had been admitted to the hospital with chest pains. Unfortunately this is nothing new as he has had several heart procedures including a quadruple bypass and most recently, new stents placed. The really bad news is that he is running out of treatment options. I am hoping that this stay is just a result of a dru reaction or something that can be handled. We could sure use some postive thoughs here though.

As for the good news.. I finally remembered to take a picture of that cool little Halloween goodie pictured above. It was made by the talented and uber sweet Hope of Paper Relics. Thank You so much Hope!!

I was also excited upon checking the mail today. I got my copy of Sally Jean's book! I LOVE IT!!
Sally Jean

Its so full of inspiration and ideas and great tips that I can't wait to fire up the old soldering iron again! Which reminded me that I still have this pendant that I made a couple years ago. I gave Joleen a Frida one when she was here but this is one I had decided to keep.

Every time a bell rings and angel gets her wings
