Tagged!

WHAT WAS HAPPENING 10 YEARS AGO?
I was working part-time at a cosmetics store and contemplating working full-time, even though my daughter wasn't quite a year old. That summer we went to RTLC Family camp with Buffie and her family.

NAME 5 THINGS TO DO TODAY

Go to the Dog Park
Call Human Resources
Mail Solos Swap (finally! Sorry, ladies)

Raw Almonds & Craisins

THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE
Donate money to infertility research and to my alma mater
Prepay tuition and expenses for my daughter to attend there in 2016
Move into a house large enough so my dad could live with us but in his own quarters, and I could have my own "Scrap Den" with a 3-sided fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Sandia Mountains in the east, and my husband could have his own "Man Cave".
Save the rest and use the interest to help build my CTMH business.

Alaskan Cruise

I have been on an incredible journey! We sailed on the Rhapsody of the Seas to Alaska, round-trip from Seattle. We are still in the Seattle area visiting some wonderful friends and, of course, checking out a few local crafting stores.

I will post a trip summary and album soon, but here are a couple teasers.

The first is a photo of my sis and I sitting on our balcony, needle crafts in hand.


And here is what we were viewing, Endicott Glacier.
