A fascinating ring

 I wish that I could have gotten the picture to
download but it was such a big picture it was
taking forever so I just posted the link. I have
to give my husband the credit though cause he
is the one who showed me this ring and I
thought it was so cool so go and check it out
http://kinektdesign.com/   I think that this
would fit in the steampunk category.

Can things get any worse?

My car had been having problems it was over heating. Two weeks ago my husband and son put all new gaskets. Well it over heated again. I'm done i'm going to go drive it over a cliff. Like they say no good deed goes unpunished. I'm so tired of the hand that I keep getting dealt.

School of hard knox

Where to start? Three years ago I moved backed to my home town where I have several relatives that still live here. Growing up in this small rural community I remember how it was such a close knit community. Over the years fianaces have taken a toll, businesses have left and the town is not far from being a ghost town. The first year back here I went to the communities Labor day celebration. The parade had no floats, there was about ten craft booths at the park so instead of complaining about it I volunteered to help. Last year there were three floats in the parade and 26 craft booths at the park, which everything came together with only one month of preperation. Again instead of complaining how insane to wait to the last minute to get everything together I volunteered to start gathering volunteers together and plan for the event months in advance.We have now been meeting since February we have broken down the event into subcatagories and have a chairperson for each catagory (parade, dance, 5 & 10 mile run, etc.) My biggest problem is that there are people that are giving false information on a catagory that they are not involved in and I'm about ready to just throw my hands in the air and say I QUIT!!!!!!  I won't quit i'm not a quitter I just had to vent.

New Cards

Just a few new cards that I finished and posted in my etsy shop.

My husband and I had a meeting/ appointment in Couer D' Alene ID today and on our way home we stopped in Spokane at the fairgrounds where thier annual Art and Craft Fair was being held. I invited several

Family

Last night we were informed that my father-in-law is once again in the hospital. Trying to convince my husband that we really should go see his dad and that he should prepare himself as well as he can prepare that his dad might pass away. My father-in-law was home only 10 days after his last hospitalization. I'm trying to stay on top of the household chores like keeping on top of having clean cloths, pet sitters, house sitter in case we have to take a fast trip. I think its going to be a hectic week so my crafts will have to sit on the back burner again. May you all have a great week.
