Peaches and Love

I got these photos this morning from my dear friend, Frances, of the peach tree I gave her and her husband three years ago (maybe four) as a wedding present. Peaches are very sentimental to Frances and Rudy (and me)...there's a whole story behind the peaches and how they met and the if not now, when? question. Thanks for sharing, Miss Frances, and I can't wait for some peach pie...

I have pictures from my FABULOUS reunion that I want to post, but honestly, I'm a little bit tired from all of the festivities. Photos soon of all the decorations and maybe a sneak peek into my high school and elementary school life after all these years...stay tuned...I had a BIG surprise at the reunion!!!!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

My Afternoon with Heidi Borchers

Wow!!! Am I honored! I had a very long lunch with Heidi last week and when I left she said I HAD to come over this week to be creative. So today, I ventured the 10 minutes over to Heidi's studio and I had a lovely afternoon - she let me have run of her studio to select just the right pieces to put in my mosaic project and she has VERY cool items to craft with!!! While I made my mosaic masterpiece, Heidi was working on a beautiful recycled bottle necklace and chatted with her children on the phone. (Heidi, you are an amazing woman with such a kind and gentle spirit, I have always admired you and even more so after spending one-on-one time with you this last week.) AND, I encouraged Heidi to join me in my exercise class - see you Thursday, Heidi...(no pressure!)

Heidi and I go way back...if you're a crafter you probably have a bottle or two of Aleene's Tacky Glue. Well, Heidi is Aleene's daughter and we met back when we were appearing on the Aleene's Creative Living Television show many, many years ago.
