Fathers day is coming!

Well when did the middle of June

get here? I tell ya, time sure flies

when your keeping all kinds of

busy! *sigh* and none of it has

to do with sewing or scrapping.

OH well....

With fathers day looming, I've

been thinking so much of my

dad. All the fun things we did

as a family when I was a kid.

How hard he worked at 2 jobs

so we could do those fun things!

He was and is a really good dad.

1949

This is 1950, Dad and mom and my sister Teri

I've finally joined the family...huge head and all! ha!

I love the memories from when I was small.

Christmas hadsuch a magic, the trees seemed

bigger and brighter! Packages wrapped so

pretty with lots of ribbon! The cards I always

worked so hard on for fathers day. You knew

school was ending when we were making fathers

day cards! It seems they always had us make ones

with ties on them. I hated them. My dad

never wore a tie!But he sure didn't seem to

mind when I gave him the card. Made me so

proud I worked so hard on it.

I hope my kids have those same kinds of

memories. I tried so hard to pass on the love

I always felt with my family on holidays.

To make them feelspecial...

know they were loved.

ON a different note, I am busy

packing up my sewing room, hating

every minute of it. Finished putting away

allll my scrapbookingpaper and tools.

Will work on fabric and trims later today.

As I have been sorting

through stuff, actually goodwilling a few

things I know I will never ever use, I

realize just how blessed I am. I have so

much. And so much to share. I have to

keep this in my mind during this whole

family situation. I've put my big girl

panties on and decided I can get

through this with a smile.!

I love allllll my fabric!

I am thankful for allll my fabric!

I love all my family pics

I'm thankful I have so many of them!

I love scrapbooking

I'm thankful I have a huge rollalong storage

for all my scrapbooking papers and dodads.

I love pie ha!
