It's Monday and the beginning of another week for me.

This weekend I went shopping for yarn. I bought a skein of red worsted weight for a scarf I wanted to cropchet. Here's a photo of what I've done so far. It was very simple and I should finish it tonight while watching "Medium".

I also bought 2 balls of yarn for another scarf. This scarf is more elegant and not as bulky and it is knitted and very pretty. I bought red medium weight yarn and somehow Sophie thinks it's for her because she is continually sticking her nose in that bag. Maybe it's time to find a pattern for a dog sweater? Once that scarf is complete I will post a photo of it. Then I want to start on an afghan. I found a knitted pattern that I really like but I still haven't found the shade of brown I want and nobody in the area has 16 skeins of it, so I may need to order the yarn online.

Today is such a quiet day. Kristen is working at Starbucks and should be home shortly. I've already run my errands this morning. I had to go to RCC to drop off a copy of my birth certificate so I could add my maiden name to my account. That way my transcripts from 30 years ago will find there way to the right student! I had to swing by the post office to mail some postcards to Creative Memories customers I haven't seen in over a year or more alerting them to the fact that our page sizes have changed. That way if they have an incomplete album and not enough of the retiring pages for it they can order them before they are gone.

Tomorrow night I have my First Aid/CPR BLS written exam. I think I'm ready for it. More later.

My First Blog

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for being interested enough to come and visit my very FIRST personal Blog. I've wanted to do this for a few years but just haven't made the time to get to it.

I want to make this Blog interesting so you will want to come here often for ideas and inspiration. As most of you know, I have been a Creative Memories Scrapbook Consultant since 1996 and still enjoy it so much. I have met some great ladies through Creative Memories and love holding crops in my home for you to get together and share your stories and photos with all. Since Creative Memories has hit the Digital World I am even more excited about it and very happy that we can now connect with each other using our personal websites, FaceBook, personal Blogs and more.

I went back to school last fall to earn my Associate's Degree. I'm really enjoying it so far. I've learned a lot already and each class I take is more interesting then the last. I was sure that I'd be in school with mostly young kids, but to my amazement there are more students my age in the evening classes. It sure made me more comfortable.

Some other hobbies I enjoy are reading, knitting, crocheting, and more. I want to share those things with all of you as well. I'd like this to be a nice place to enjoy while you sip on your morning coffee or cocoa or are up late at night with your head full of inspiration. I'm hoping that we can all share as a group and learn from each other.

The first time you visit my Blog, please take a moment to post introducing yourself telling how we met and anything else you would like to share. I think this will be a fun outlet for us all. Enjoy.
