My last day...for now

Tomorrow marks my final day filling in for Crystal while she was on maternity leave. I'm excited and sad. I've really enjoyed going back to work. Mostly because I had at ton of flexibilty, awesome AWESOME boss, and time to appreciate NOT being away from home at a job. The sad feelings come from missing the structure of having a job. The excitement is from, well, not having a job! I can't wait to be home again full time with Gwen. She's so much fun at this age. She keeps me laughing all day long and I'm happy I'll get to enjoy more of that in the weeks to come.

The "for now" portion of this post is simply that I'm not really done working. I'm going to stay on with Chuck's practice as a special projects coordinator. I just made up that title. Sounds good! 

Also, I'll be working on my own growing business. I'm excited to start a new Halloween collection. I've designed the invitation and started roughing out some ideas for the rest of the collection. I think it might turn out to be one of my favorites.

Scrapcamp Weekend!

So much fun! I had a great time at Maple Ridge Farm (just outside Taylors Falls). My plan was to work on my 3 Day book, and while I didn't get as much done as I wanted (7 pages and a mini book), I still feel very accomplished. I also believe I gained a pound or two. So much fun food!


Well, here's my weekend and the highlights:

Friday: Crystal picked me up at my house. She was kind enough to load the car and do all the heavy lifting. Her car (it's an SUV) was so loaded, she couldn't see out of the back. Crystal also brought coffee and breakfast from Keys Cafe. What a pal! Soon we were on the road, laughing, and talking and getting more giddy about getting to the Farm. The sun was out and it was a very pretty morning.

Once we arrived, we immediately went in to check out the house. Crystal had been there before, so she knew what to expect. The place was SO CUTE! I took pics that I will post later. It had the cutest Grandma's farmhouse charm. Everything about it was perfect. After the tour, we unloaded the car, which was very comical because of all the stuff we brought. Just as I started making door signs so
