Sorry for the delay in posting--I've been under the weather, probably due to the weather, this weekend. I walked home from the car repair place on Saturday morning and then spent two hours shoveling the drive and sidewalk, and I think the exposure...

Wow,
is it possible that the last weekend of 2008 just passed by? Where did
those 52 weekends go? And where are the days between? If your year has
been anything like mine, they passed while visiting friends and family,
working on projects indoors and...

I may have to stop putting a date on these posts, as Mother Nature and vacation days are occupying my next few Fridays. We had a major snow event (or so say the TV news folks) and it was major. I think I heard 12", but when I was shoveling the walk...

See
what happens when you take a day off--everything gets off schedule. But
it was a great day off Friday and I got a lot accomplished. Note that I
didn't say "I got everything I'd planned accomplished," as that's just
not the case...

It's official—I'm embracing the holiday season. I have avoided the Christmas music on the radio the last month because I got burned out on it last year. But today, I've got the music playing on my computer and am thinking I might try to get...

Just a quick note. I'm visiting with family and friends and lost track of Friday. So a Saturday Jewelry Gems will have to suffice. So much to do here--in addition to this being my weekend to make projects, I've got a family gathering tonight,...

Thanksgiving is almost here and no, I still didn't get any of those things on the list accomplished last weekend either. But I visited with friends and got some other things done, so it was productive none-the-less. And this weekend I'm focusing...

It's
less than two weeks until Thanksgiving, somewhere between 39 and 41
days until Christmas (amazingly, that's what I found as I searched the
Web, and I'm so amused by the variance that I just don't want to count
for myself), and 47...

What I thought might be a creative weekend last weekend turned into an eventful weekend, and creative in a different way--I
went from being a straight-haired blonde to a curly redhead. And though
I did get to test-drive that quilting machine (which was...

Happy Halloween, blog readers! It's been a busy week for me, blog-wise. Since yesterday was Ornament Thursday , I posted my Gratitude Project ,
and today, the Gems do a little trick-or-treating! So don that costume
(or not) and go knock on their virtual...

Sorry I missed catching you all up last week. I was out in Salt Lake
City for a little site seeing and a board meeting. (See photos of the
lake and the mountains, right.) It was a lovely trip, filled with a lot
of laughter, a lot of looking forward, and...

Wow
did this week fly by! I barely had time to think (words which might
concern my employers, but rest assured, it's hyperbole). But I did make
time to catch a few movies while I was hibernating this weekend, and I
did a little Web surfing while watching...

Whenever I come across an image or article that I’d like to revisit, I put it in a file on my desktop. I have one document that is simply a running list of links to blogs, stories, news items, and forum topics of discussion. I was excited this past week...

Welcome October! Our weather has suddenly become autumnal--the symbols of which here in Wisconsin are changing leaves, pumpkin farms, and all the rest. I've gone from open-toed shoes to boots, and the containers of warmer clothes have emerged from...

Melissa
from Strands of Beads wins my inspiration award this week (not that I
don't love everyone's posts this week--they are all gems after all).
First, her clever headline made me smile. Second, her story got me
thinking and it suddenly occurred...
