What a miserable day today has been! It absolutely poured down rain all day!! And now tonight they say it's supposed to turn to snow for a little while. I sincerely doubt that, but we do live pretty close to the Great Smokey Mountains, and they often get lots of snow while we in the valley just get flurries. My sister is up here visiting from West Palm Beach, Florida, so she's about to have apoplexy. Ha! Those Floridians have thinner blood, you know. I went over to her house today (she has a vacation house up here), and we watched girlie flicks, baked cookies, and, in general, had good bonding time. It was just one of those kind of days. We have a tin roof on our house, and I lovee to hear the rain on it, especially when I'm inside all comfy and cozy.
I was so excited to see that I have my very first Follower. First Follower, thanks so much, and feel free to leave all the comments you want. You all have seen the horrible pictures of my craft room, well, I want to announce that starting on Friday, my sister, Jan, and I are going to start the organizational process. I dread it, but I know a lot of unused stuff is going to go. I have to give up all those ex- hobby items that are sitting around on my shelves taking up valuable space, while my true hobby's treasured items lay about littering my floor. I'll take pics as the process goes along. Feel free to keep track of my progress.
The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.

It's a Rainy Sunday
It's one of those drizzly, rainy days where you don't want to do anything by stay inside where it's warm and watch TV or read, and that's what we did when we got home from church. First I dragged my husband over to Hastings Book Store because I wanted to sell back some really good books that I had read. Most of them I had bought at Hastings, and I had taken really good care of them, so they were in really like-new shape. There were about 8 or 9 books. You know what they told me they would pay for them - $2.80!! What a rip-off. I told them "No thanks, I can get more for them on eBay." So this afternoon I started listing them as eBay auctions. I know they'll be worth at least $3.00 to someone. After all, there were 2 Nicholas Sparks books, 2 by James Patterson, and one by Tom Brokaw - plus one of the Father Tim Mitford Series Books by Jan Karon. Now I'm thinking I should just donate them to the library or something. I think they'd be more appreciated there.
Tonight we went to an Estate Planning seminar at church, so now I'm depressed thinking about what will become of all my scrapbooking things when I die. I think my husband will take it all to the dump. Oh well, I won't thing about that today. After all, tomorrow's another day - right Scarlett?
