Shabby Chic Sunday!!

August 11, 2013

Hi ladies!!  Bet you think I have fallen in somewhere, but alas I am here and have a new post. It has been a scorcher of a week, and if I didn't have to get out, I stayed in and tried to stay cool. My daughter invited friends over yesterday for a swim party, and it was so fun to see them all having such a good time in the pool, staying cool!! My little grandson Ian loved jumping off the side of the pool, his first time to do this so far this swim season. By next summer I think he will be without his floaties and swimmin like a big boy!!

The great job search continues, with 1 rejection and numerous resumes sent online. Nursing is not what it used to be and I am having a hard time with all of the changes in the job market. Just use to walking into an office, handing them my resume and references and waiting to hear back for an interview. Now you do everything online!! However, I think tomorrow I will actually resort to my old tried and true method and deliver my resume locally to a few offices not far from me. Will keep you updated, but know that it is going to take much longer than I anticipated!

I have been creating flowers this weekend after seeing a tutorial by jennings644 on you tube. I have had so much fun and they are so easy. I used what I had on hand, and like how they turned out. Don't know what I will do with all of them but am sure they will be showing up on some of my projects this fall and for xmas gifts!! My Wild Art Summer class ended last Saturday, and I am so sad. But, our facebook group is going to continue with weekly projects to do until Junelle's next class, hopefully this fall!!

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and will be back to post soon, hopefully with some good news at some point!!

Happy Friday Ladies!!

Hope you have all had a good week and will have a wonderful, fun filled weekend. I have been busy with family this week for a funeral. But that is done, now I have to get back to my regular routine!! I am continuing with my job search, but things are so different looking for a job this day and time. Even for an RN! Never dreamed it would be this difficult to  get feedback regarding my resume, but it sure has been painful. Oh well, I am sure something will turn up when it's supposed to. I even applied at my favorite scrapbook store, The Crafty Scrapper, in Waxahachie,Tx. Would just love working there surrounded by all those goodies. Hopefully something will happen there if it is meant to be. Then that will be my sign!!
I have also been finishing up my continuing education credits, lots of reading to do, then faxing in the course evaluation. Which, is much better than having to actually take a test! That needs to be completed by the first of the week so I can have that done, then renew my nursing license before August 31st, since mine will expire then.

I am posting some pics of 2 art journal pages and one watercolor that I did yesterday. Am so sad that Wild Art Summer class with Junelle Jacobsen is coming to an end this Saturday. Her projects have been so fun and inspiring to me, just what I needed this summer at this particular time!! I tend to put her videos on when I am creating so it seems like she is right there with me, so much fun

Having dinner with my daughter and grandsons tonite, always fun to see them and get to smother them with those Granny kisses!! Have a good weekend and will be sure to post some projects from Saturdays final class with Junelle!
