Project 365 Day 96

Was going to pop over and scrap with a friend today, but that didn't work out so I stopped by to visit a bit with my grand baby. She has learned to do somersaults! I had my camera out (of course) to snap pictures and she wanted to take some, which is where my pics for today come from. The photo gallery of a three year old.

Project 365 Day 95

Today I was back in the saddle getting some work done. I ran a few errands and while scrapping at Scrapper's Paradise I finished making this sample for my new fishing kit. I will be adding it to the blog for sale tomorrow.

Project 365 Day 94----Hot, Hot , Hot!

Today, aside from picking up Peek-A-Boo, this tired old woman did nothing but rest from her party weekend. My picture should be a hint about how lively my day was. It is a picture of the fan that kept me cool as I relaxed.

Project 365 Day 93-----Broken branches

Left Yerrington bright and early this morning to beat the heat. After a welcome shower and a brief nap I was back at church which turned out to be a HUGE evening for me. I need to back track a little..............
Several weeks ago my pastor quite accidentally heard me sing and said I needed to be up there singing with the worship team. Now I LOVE to sing, especially while worshiping my Lord and Savior, but although it has been a hidden deep desire of mine, it has also been too scary for me. I don't sing in front of people and I DON'T sing in front of a mike, so I ignored him. I have been praying that I would find my place in this new church body, then last week at church he called me up after service along with the only other female in the band. He said he wanted us to start working on singing together and I gulped down my fear and said yes. They rehearse every Sunday at 5pm before our 6:30 service and today I was to join them in rehearsing. I was already nervous about rehearsing and when I got there Daryll Ann said I was singing with them in service tonight. Well, she wouldn't let me sneak out of it, so after 45 minutes of rehearsal including one song that I had never song before, I performed with the band tonight in church and made it through without missing a note or choking. All praise goes to the Lord. I just made it between Him and me and sang in worship. God is so good and I thank Him for bringing me through my fear to use my voice in His service. The band has been together for a long time and called themselves the Crazy Eights. Our church is called Branches, and so lately they have begun to refer to themselves as the Broken Branches. This old twig is definitely broken, so maybe I'll fit right in.

Pastor Jim was gone this week to perform a wedding, so we had a guest performance from "Thou Art." They mix music with art and while his wife and others perform singing, and artist paints a picture. It was a very moving performance. I have intended on posting a couple of pictures from that performance here, but apparently I took the photos with no sim card in my camera---Oops!

What a day!

Project 365 Day 92----Night in the Country Day 2

It was HOT today! Spent the whole day chasing what little shade I could find in our dusty camping spot trying to stay cool and hide from the sun. I made it though, and attended the concert tonight to see Chuck Wicks and Blake Shelton. Let me tell you, those country music fans get down and PARTY!

Project 365 Day 91---Night in the Country!

Today found me on the road with two girlfriends to camp out for the weekend in Yerrington to attend two nights of concerts at Night in the Country. We set up camp and headed over this first night to see Terri Clark and Diamond Rio. Casey and I started off the evening with double fists of Strawberry Margaritas. Later we asked a gal to take our picture all together and two good ol' boys who were sitting in front of us (with their wives) jumped up and planted themselves in the picture. Had a great time!

Project 365 Day 90

Three months girls!! Can you believe it? I'm really doing it!

Today after teaching my card class, Matilda came over for a while. We played out in the yard and she took this picture of me mowing my little lawn That's right everyone---I mow my lawn on my hands and knees with hand held shears.

Project 365 Day 89

Today was Calendar Class day so I thought I'd share a picture of the card we made in class.
Turned out pretty cute I think.

Project 365 Day 88

I spent today working hard to finish prepping for Calendar Class tomorrow night. Here is a picture of the layout I designed for the class. Some friends have encouraged me to make some more, so I will be offering a few for sale. I love the colors.

Project 365 Day 87

I was so glad to be back in town in time to be able to attend church. I really enjoy going to my new church and I've made a HUGE move for me. I LOVE to sing. Always have, but I always been frightened to death of actually doing it in front of people without being in a larger group. My pastor heard me sing during service a while ago and commented on it---Well, after service tonight he pulled me aside and asked me to begin singing with the worship team. I don't know what came over me, but I said yes. I go to my first rehearsal next Sunday at 5pm. I will be extremely nervous, so cross your fingers for me. I just really believe that God has called me to be a part of this church and I have been praying that God would help me find my place there. So when Pastor Jim asked, I just felt that it was what God wanted me to do. Singing with a band like this is like a secret hidden desire of my heart, so I hope it works out well. I have shown a picture of my pastor during worship earlier. Here is a picture of some more of the members----They are really good!

Project 365 Day 86

Today I finished the samples for two more kits to be offered for sale. Here a peek at the purrrfectly cute cat page. It is offered for sale on the other site for $8.00 each.

Project 365 Day 85

Today I left for another weekend of scrapping at Donna Jean's store in Carson City.One of the first things I accomplished today was finishing the sample and kits for this girlie birthday layout. It is offered for sale on the "No Time to Scrap" blog for $7.00 each.

Project 365 Day 85

This evening I taught My evening July Card Class so I thought I'd share a picture of another one of the cards we did in class----the cupcake card I shared earlier was also one. We completed 5 cards in class. I have extra kits and soon I will be offering kits that include everything to make 4 of the cards for $10.

Project 365 Day 84

Worked all day today preparing for the card class I'm teaching tomorrow night. That's pretty much all I did, so here is a picture of one of the cards. The top of the cupcake pulls out. Look girls! I added stickles! If I have extra kits left over they will be for sale. If so, I will send out pictures and info on the No Time 2 Scrap blog.

Project 365 Day 83

Don't remember too much about today since it was the day I got my tooth pulled. I do have a picture for the day. It's very attractive I'm sure, since it's of me when they put the mask on me to administer the sweet gas that gets me through these things, but it's on Debbi's camera so I can't share it with you as yet. I'll add it to the post when I have it----I'm sure you can all hardly wait!

Here you go girls---Here I am as I wave goodbye. It was off to dreamland for me.

Project 365 day 82

I spent the whole day and night at home today preparing for the card class I'm teaching on Thursday night. My friend Bev stopped by after work to pick up a couple of kits she wanted to purchase. She hadn't been here in some time and she commented on my yard. I have to pat myself on the back a bit for what I've done out there. When I moved in, it was all dirt. Then when spring hit it was nothing but a mass of weeds. I dug in and started working, and although there are things I still want to accomplish, I'm lovin' it. I went out and took a couple of pictures of the flowers that are blooming to share with you for today.

Project 365 Day 81

Well, it's Sunday and that means I get to go to church. Today's picture is of my pastor, taken while he was leading us in worship. Our worship team is really awesome! Our church is very new and very small. It's called Branches and we meet at 6:30 each Sunday evening at Multnomah University on Kietzke Lane. If any of you are looking for a great place to worship, learn and get to know a great group of people, I invite you to join me. Next Saturday we're having our first church picnic! How fun!

Project 365 Day 80---Sugarland!

Lucky. lucky me! I got the chance to go with Tracey to the Sugarland concert in Lake Tahoe last night and it was GREAT! What a show they put on! It could have gone on and on and I would have stayed to listen. Today's picture is one of Tracey and I all smiles to be there. Next stop--ITunes to download some of their music for my IPod.

Project 365 Day 79

Another busy day today. Matilda and I, along with her new friend Taylor and family went to the Sierra Safari Zoo. All the years I've lived here and I had never been there. Although it was pretty hot, we had a good time visiting the animals, then just as we were about to leave we got to see a peacock in his full glory and witness the mating ritual as he tried to attract a female he had his eye on. It was magnificent! The female however, was not at all impressed and completely ignored him. It was as if she were saying, "Yeah, yeah---I've seen it all before."

I put M's hair in pigtails for the day, and her hair just looked so healthy and beautiful as I braided it that I just had to take a picture. Don't you wish those kinds of things lasted as we grew older? I think we should go through the natural aging process until we turn 21, and then we should just stay the same as far as looks go until we die. What a good plan! I'm going to put that in the suggestion box and of course add that it should be put into effect retroactively. I wouldn't mind looking like I did at 21. How bout you?

I have also included a picture of the peacocks. I'm sure Cheryl or her husband got a better one than I, but this will do for now.

Finally, we ended the day at Wingfield Park to watch the movie "Some Like It Hot" outdoors. What a turnout! There were over 1,000 people there! The last picture I've included for the day was taken there at the park while Taylor was tickling Matilda. Can you tell that they had a great time together? New friends---What fun!

Project 365 Day 78

Matilda and I went with friends to the children's museum in Carson City today. She was such a good girl and she really enjoyed it. My picture of the day was taken there. The toy we were playing with looked like a canon and when you flipped a switch, air came out of the canon barrel. While Matilda was playing, it was sending her hair flying. What a great picture and what a fun day!

Project 365 Day 77

My new fountain was delivered today. It has to have a new pump installed tomorrow, so I am saving that picture until it's finished. While out there messing with it, I replanted a couple of plants in my yard and pulled some weeds. I fell while pulling one, so I'm done for the day. Time to sit in front of the fan and watch some TV. I also had lunch with a friend today and got a little work done on my kits. I put a couple of finishing touches on this layout which I am offering for sale. Info is on the No Time 2 Scrap blog.

Project 365 Day 76

Today was a normal Tuesday for me which usually finds me scrapping at Scrapper's Paradise for the evening. I finished up a couple of two page layouts that I'm going to offer for sale, so that will be my pic for today. If you are interested, the info can be found on the No Time 2 Scrap blog.

Project 365 Day 75

Believe it ladies---There is an actual picture on my blog today which means that I have my computer back, and even better---IT'S WORKING!! It's be a long and frustrating trip and it ended up costing me some money, so this thing better work and work well for a long time!
After picking the computer up today, I went to my friend Cheryl's house for dinner. She loaned me a few movies from her collection to watch and that is my picture for today. The one on top is one I've been wanting to rent for some time. Because of my love for Bonnie, I want to watch "Return to Me." I hear it's really good. Cheryl said it's one of her very favorites. I'm sure it will be one of mine as well. May have to end up searching Ebay for a copy.

Project 365 Day 74 Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth to everyone! I hope you are all doing something fun to celebrate! One of my very favorite things to do on the Fourth is to go to Lake Tahoe for their fireworks show. It is the best I've ever seen and spening the day at Tahoe isn't bad either. Tracy and family decided to go at the last minute, but I decided to pass this year. Megan and Mikey are having a BBQ at thier house and I am going to stop by there later, then go to church. By the time I get out of church there should be fireworks in the sky. Wish I could see them from my little yard. It would be so pleasant to watch them there. Sometime I would love to go to the Aces game on the Fourth and see the fireworks show they put on after the game. That sounds like fun. For today imagine several pics of the BBQ with the kids. They are so photogenic---Don't you agree?

Project 365 Day 73

What a busy day I had today. I was supposed to go scrapping, but got sidetracked. I found a leaf blower on Craig's List, but had to go to Wal Mart to buy a cord for it, so that turned into a shopping trip. When I finished there, I had to go home and try it out, which turned into yard work. Matilda came over to play with me for a while and then I ended the day with scrapping after all up at TMI with some buds.

Now for my picture of the day. It has to be one of me with the leaf blower, so I had my imaginary boyfriend take an imaginary picture of me being so self sufficient. He's really hot by the way and he was so proud of me! I'm sure you all would have gotten quite a kick out of me out there with the thing. Boy, is it noisy! Anyway it does the trick and my yard now looks better then ever!

Projest 365 Day 72

Today I went with my friend Janice on an errand to Gordon's Photo. I helped her go through all the pictures on the cards from two different cameras. We chose and edited the ones she wanted to print. My imaginary picture for today is of the photo viewing machine we used at the store. I mastered it and Janice will soon have pictures in hand.

Project 365 Day 71

Well the joureny towarda age 60 continues. Today was much like every Thursday except that I babysat my grand dog Chloe for a few hours this evenig. She will be my imaginary picture for today. She is SO BIG, SO STRONG, and HAS SO MUCH ENERGY!!!

Project 365 Day 70

Well girls, the computer saga continues. Went to pick it up today to be told that there it has a virus that could be causing the problem. They are going to remove the virus at no charge for the inconvenience but that requires backing up everything onto an external hard drive for which there is a charge. Luckily I had a rather spunky friend along who got most of that charge taken care of----Thanks Girlfriend, and Happy Birthday! Anyway, now I should have the computer back good as new by Sunday morning at the latest. Stay tuned for the next installment.

My imaginary picture for the day is of the Geek Squad Service Manager since I looked at him for way too long today. Enjoy the picture---I drew little horns on it. Ha Ha Ha!
