Busy Busy Busy

I haven't really had much time in the past few days to sit down and write a post but didn't want anyone to think that I was going on hiatus again so thought I would give a brief review of what I've been doing.

My groups just finished up their last birthday card yesterday and they were thrilled with each one. They made two last week and two this week. Getting the card kits together always takes quite a bit of time and this time I also made an extra 12 of each because I am going to Branson next week to teach my cousin and some of her friends how to make cards. Wish me luck on that one because I have little patience with such matters because people want to ask questions and I just want them to do what I say HA HA HA. I will try to get the card posts ready in the next day or two so I can share those with you. One of them as really cool file that you will be able to download.

Another thing that has kept me busy is getting my new pool up. Last summer was the first time in about 13 years I didn't have a pool and I thought I was going to die! DIE I TELL YOU! I will give more details on the pool later and also share how my daughter and I installed a wide mouth skimmer that required cutting a hole in the brand new pool *EEEKKKK*. 

I have a great Saturday planned with my friend Andrea and hopefully at least two, would prefer all three, of my Goddaughters and my own daughter and her husband. Andrea's birthday is next week so I am going to fire up the grill have libations ready and we can swim and float around in the pool.

  2. Ditto what Treva said. And you have some shade, too! That would be my favorite side of the pool.

  3. Wow, it looks so inviting. My Sister has a big pool and she leaves it up all year. I sure am happy that you got one up this year because I wouldn't want you to "die" as we would get to read all your stories. Floating in the pool is the best relaxation, if there is no little great nephews turning you over off of the float.

  5. WOW, that pool looks soooooooooo good! Our temps here in Orlando are already out of control. It's in the 90's, humidity is crazy high, and heat index brings it well into the 100's. YUCK! Wish you lived closer, I'd over to help you initiate that pool. That pool is going to be a life saver for you this summer. ENJOY!

  7. Glad the card making went well with the groups Shirley. I know what you are saying, it's hard to find people to just follow our directions isn't it?! lol Love how the pool looks, been working on mine too, only it isn't hot enough to get it just yet for some reason! It better soon get hot here, send some of that heat this way Shirley! To PA....cause I don't want you to die. I wouldn't have anything good to read. haha It is so nice to float around the pool isn't it?!! Enjoy!!! Hugs, Brenda
