For today’s project I want to highlight the awesome Pierced Blooms and Stitched with Whimsey dies. The colors I chose are Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. These cards are super simple, but would totally brighten someone’s day. I put 4-6 notecards and envelopes in a Mini Paper Pumpkin box. You could make several sets of these to give away as birthday, Christmas or hostess gifts.

Ski Adventure 2021 -Part 3

Days Two and Three of skiing were even more fun than day one, since we all felt more confident. My last ski trip was three years ago, so it took a bit on the first day to get back in the swing of skiing. I like to go fast, but temper that with my desire not to get hurt. Ryan was my ski partner, and we really enjoyed looking at the beautiful mountains as we made our way down the slopes. It is impossible not to be in awe of God’s amazing creation when it is laid out like a portrait right in front of you!

I skied with Steve at the end of day Two.  We enjoyed talking on the way up the lifts, in addition to skiing.  Steve took me on some of the steeper blue runs that he and Sean had been skiing, and I had no problem on them (as long as I turned a lot)!

I got braver on Day three, when I spent the end of the final day skiing with Steve and Sean.  I went faster on the steeper slopes trying to keep up with the boys, and I really enjoyed it.  Skiing for me feels like flying, and some times I put my arms out like wings just to feel the wind blowing across them. 🙂

I told people before we went on the trip that I thought that Ryan and I would outlast Steve and Sean on the slopes, since they both have bad knees, and they ski very intensely.  But it turned out that they shut the lifts down with me on the last day.  I would say that we were all “winners”! I was, however, the only one that didn’t fall down during our three full days of skiing, so that was a win for me! 🙂

Getting to see God’s creation was not the only blessing on this trip.  Spending time with my adult sons, and Steve, was the biggest blessing of all!

Sean is 30 and lives in Austin, Texas. Ryan is 25 and lives in West Des Moines, Iowa a few miles from our home. They are both software engineers.

We had another day off from skiing during the trip, and visited the 2002 Olympic Museum. This is the site of the ski jumping and downhill skiing, and serves as the training center for Olympic hopefuls. It was fun to watch the skiers training and “relive” the 2002 Winter Olympics in the museum. We have always been big fans of the Olympics and would love to attend in person some day. Our favorite Winter Sports to watch are ice skating and skiing. Our favorite Summer Sports to watch are women’s gymnastics and diving. To be totally honest, I actually love watching just about everything in the Olympics, and love the stories about the individual athletes and what they overcome to make it there.

Please check out everyone’s awesome projects on the blog hop!

Saying thank you really matters. “It’s something we all learned as a small child: to say thank you. What many people might not realize is that these two simple words have a profound impact on our daily outlook, our ability to chart a course of success and most importantly to be happy. Not to mention, there are significant health benefits from embracing gratitude. Research shows that people who are more grateful have better heart health and more disease-fighting cells in their bodies.” This quote is from Dr. Bernice Ledbetter is Practitioner Faculty of Organizational Theory and Management. I want to say thank you to you! For reading my blog, watching my Wednesday at noon CST Facebook Lives or just being a crafty person who blesses others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This is a Bottom Flap Fun Fold card. Here’s a free pdf with directions and supplies needed to make this card.

Steve, Ryan and I made it to Park City, Utah after two days of driving. The first day we drove nine hours in perfect weather. We decided it was a brilliant decision to drive instead of flying. We had a delicious (COVID safe) steak dinner at the Wyoming Rib and Chop House and life was really good. The second day involved driving I-80 through Wyoming on ice, at an average speed of 30mph. When we weren’t skidding on ice we were driving through snow squalls with zero visibility. After four hours of white knuckle driving, I turned the wheel over to Ryan. I crawled in the back seat and tried to think happy thoughts while I prayed, and contemplated the wonders of flying to vacation destinations.

We made it to our hotel in Park City and had awesome (COVID safe) Fajitas at Loco Lizard. Today we picked Sean up at the airport and moved into our condo. We picked up groceries, our ski equipment and tomorrow is our first day on the slopes. From our condo we actually walk up some steps and ski down to the Town Lift. I’ve spent the last several months riding an exercise bike, doing the treadmill and Pilates reformer preparing for our ski trip. All of that will be very helpful, but I wish I would’ve trained on steps. We’ve walked hundreds of steps already. I’m trying to imagine how the steps will feel after a day of skiing.

Please stop by later this week to hear more about our ski adventures.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0079 is World Frog Day which is on March 20.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us.
