Happy Tuesday!
It's hard to believe that it has been a week since I last posted. I am plugging along with my packing, but honestly I am getting to the point where I want to be done. With 14 years in this house and 25 years of stuff there is so much that will not fit into our new home. However, now is not the time to purge that is safer to do at the other end. Next week I will start packing up my craft room, that is probably going to be the biggest undertaking. The key will be to do it without getting distracted!
It's time for a new Cue Card at CASology!
This week the cue word is:
I don't know about you but I certainly could use a few of these on hand. I always have the best intentions, but I struggle with the execution. My repeat is the "Happy"!
This card is also my DT card for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Celebrate!

I am also submitting this to the Lawnscapping Sparkle and Shine Challenge for the gold Stickles on his hat!
Yesterday my daughter turned 18, amazing how quickly these past 18 years have gone. I posted this photo on Facebook yesterday after sorting through 12 years of digital photos trying to narrow it down to only 9. What I re-discovered was how many things she was involved with in her childhood. There was 11 years of ballet, tap and jazz, 12 years of soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, school plays, skiing, arts camp, leadership camp and yes dirt bike riding. I am excited for her as she heads off to university this fall and I hope that she continues to get involved once she's there.
I gave her the card that I made for her during the Essentials by Ellen June Pin-Sights Challenge and she loved it because apparently I am her person too!
Have a great day!
Love, love, love all the pictures of Brooklyn. Amazing to watch them grow!
