Memories From A Life

Recently, I had to find a picture from about a year and a half ago, for a friend of mine.  I have an amazing program called Memory Manager from Creative Memories; it’s so amazing, that usually I can find pictures from years ago in minutes with just a few clicks of the keyboard.  Imagine that you are looking for a picture of your daughter … Continue reading

Silence Is Golden

Tonight there is silence…no one in the house but me.  Silence… Ok, well maybe not silence, since I can hear the hum of certain electronics in my home and the dog barking once in a while, but definitely quiet compared to normal. I know that old saying “silence is golden” is actually referring to not saying things that you shouldn’t, but tonight, … Continue reading

What A Beautiful Sight

No, it’s not my oak table dining room table (that I’m so ready to paint) and the chairs that I REALLY dislike these days….. It’s the fact that this table is finally empty! For the last 5 months it’s been full of hand-made Christmas ornaments, all the craft supplies needed to make those ornaments and 30 mini Christmas trees like … Continue reading
