I want to finish what I started

When Blake was a baby, I started quilting with the sisters in Delta. I went out and bought some material for a quilt for Taylor and a quilt for Blake. I made a big part of Taylor's quilt, haven't quite started on Blake's yet :( And then we moved, and moved again, and again, and so on.... Well the other night, a couple from Cushing came over to our house to visit us and Kayla asked me if I quilted, I told her how I had started but not finished and she also had started a quilt. So we showed each other the blocks that we had done and it really got me wanting to finish Taylor's quilt, (and start and finish Blake's Broncos quilt.) So here is what I have done of Taylor's, as you can see, it is probably 3/4 way to being ready to actually put together. So I'm getting antsy to finish it. It is going to be so pretty when it is done :)

Back to doing what I love

When I was expecting Taylor, I got into scrapbooking. It is my favorite hobby! The last time I scrapbooked was about a year and a half ago when I lived in Olathe, Colorado. But we moved to Grand Junction, Colorado in October of last year and put my scrapbooking stuff in storage because we lived in a LITTLE 800 square foot townhouse, (I'm so glad to be out of there!) Then in March of this year, we moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma. I started working about a month after we lived here, and I worked up until the beginning of September. And that brings us up to date. Me and Shonna R (also moved here from GJ) have been talking about getting together and scrapbook. Finally we talked about having a scrapbook get together weekly at the church and whoever scrapbooks, or wants to learn to scrapbook, is welcome to come. Last week, we had our first day, and had a pretty decent turnout, there was (including me) 7 ladies there. We had so many laughs, and lots of good visiting. It was just a really fun day. Then Ryan had company this past weekend, so guess what I did? Scrap booked! It was great. I worked on memorial pages of my Dad for my kids, and got a lot of pages done. It just feels so good to get back to doing what I love. Scrapbooking is my craft!

Follow up to our van: I talked to the company that I had got that estimate from, and asked them if we could do away with ALL the things that needed fixed and just take care of the brakes and the hardware, and they said yes. So we got it fixed. There are still other things needing fixed, but we will take care of that little by little down the road.
