It's November

It feels more like Oct here than November this is the 4 th day in a row we had temperatures in the 60's. Loving the weather. I was blessed to have the H1N1 this fall, oh my, I have not been that sick in for ever, I even said I would rather gift birth than get the H1N1 again.

I am busy getting some stuff ready to do class at the LSS in town. Excited about that. Doing some projects to make gifts, christmas cards.

Here are some of my recent creations

What have I been up to?

Hello~
I have 3 full weeks of work as a school nurse under my belt and it is going good so far, I am loving it, its a great atmosphere and everyone is so nice. I love being in a multi culture environment. Friday we had a wild black bear on the school grounds, that was freaky. He was trying to enroll then realized we only take Polar bears (school mascot) :)
Nicole has a full time job at Clayton Wisc school district, fun and exciting for her. Tyler has started his last semester at the Tech school then will transfer to UW Eau Claire in the Spring.
Doug is still working to hard, but at the same place

Sunday 09/5

Labor day weekend. I celebrated my 28th Anniversary with my best friend yesterday. We were able to listen to REO Speedwagon and Styx yesterday at the MN sate fair. My first date with Doug was a REO Speedwagon concert kind of Ironic that we were able to see REO on our anniversary. I started working on Monday at North High School, as a LPN/Health Assistant. I am really enjoying meeting new people. The kids start on Tuesday so that will be the test, I am excited to be apart of so many young peoples life and make a difference. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day.

Seriously

I cannot believe it has been 3 weeks since I blogged on here. Maybe helping with 2 other blogs and having a month long VC @ Wisconsin Scrappers and a Queen of Paradise Challenge @ CroppinParadise might have something to do with it.


So here are a few of the challenges I created and my projects.


Week #3 Challenge comes to you from Kathy: You have been on the island for two weeks and you are starting to miss your friends and family! Who is the one person you wish were on the island with you - do a layout about this person and journal about why you choose that person!




Lets go on a Picnic Whats in your basket, Each item that's in the basket will represents a item to include on you LO
I see in the basket 2 pieces of chicken = 2 Pictures, if your really hungry you can add a third
Potato Salad= Journaling
Bun, carrots and pineapple=3 embellishments
Chocolate chip cookies= a die cut or something cut by hand or paper piecing
Table cloth=PP
lemonade=Ink
Napkin= Ribbon (this is a bonus mile if you add it)


Family stuff happening
I start my new job on Sept 2 I have a couple of orientation days before then. Nicole is starting a Long Term subbing position in Clayton, Wi for 6 weeks she is super excited.
Doug is still at McCarthy Cadillac fortunately his store survived the GM Bankruptcy, he is busy getting everything ready for the Minnesota State Fair.
Tyler goes back to school next week, he has one semester left of generals at the Tech school, then he will transfer to UW/Eau Claire, spring semester to start his Social Studies with a concentration in History. Hope this post finds everyone good and enjoying the summer. Thanks for looking :)
