It’s been awhile since I blogged last. Update about us...Jake has a new position within HP and works in the Finance Department. He works more hours it seems and has 5am meetings every Tuesday morning and seems to have meetings all day long. As for me I'm still looking for a job. My last scrapbook retreat was a success in April and we had lots of fun. As of now I don't have any new retreats planned except for a Breast Cancer Fundraising scrapbook crop sometime in August or September. With the economy in a bad place right now everyone that I know is watching their spending...especially when it comes to extra circular activities such as scrapbooking.
We started our garden two months or so ago. This year we planted garlic which is our first time trying it out. So far, so good. We also planted sweet peas which is new to us too to grow. We have the usual potatoes which aren't doing so hot so today I planted some more and see how that goes. We have green beans, cherry tomatoes, cantaloupe & early girl tomatoes.
And the past few months I've been trying my hand at making cards. With the help of some ideas from my magazines I get and also other books I have on hand. Here are a few projects I've worked on recently. I'm realizing that I like the card making. I'm getting good at it I suppose.
