Art Work Friday...

-
I am sorry to see the my niece, DeeDee will only be participating in Art Work Friday's monthly.  I'm sure she is busy doing other things.  I know I will miss her postings.  Along with making jewelry I also started making candles. I use soy wax because it burns cleaner.  It does not have the puff of black smoke as it is burning.  So as part of Art Work Friday for the next few weeks I will be blogging about candle making. 

Currently my candle making space is in my laundry room where I have counter space.  This is just some of my materials.


These are some candles my daughter made.  They are a light purple color with lavender scent.

Just a few bottles of scents that I have. 

So come on back next Friday to see more of my candle making.

    What a fun hobby! I've made candles before but years ago. Madison would love the lavender ones, it's one of her favorite scents!
    Can't wait to see more!

    What fun! I can't wait to see and read more. Your candles look awesome and lavender would smell so pretty. Are they hard to make?

A little change of scenery.....

This past weekend I was visiting with my old neighbor at her home in Michigan. September is very nice in the Grand Rapids area, warm days and cooler nights. It was refreshing to escape the humidity of SW Florida. There are sooooo many apple orchards in the area, and she chose one that she had not been too.  So here are just a few pictures.  No pumpkin patch or pumpkins.  Enjoy!

Learning something new....

-
They say as you get older you should continue to learn something new to keep your body and mind active.  Well, I certainly qualify for this. In December, I took sailing lessons, it was fun, frustrating and fantastic.  This has been fun on so many levels.  Just being on the water takes me to a very relaxing space.  Along with learning to sail comes taking pictures of the adventure, which isn't new, but taking videos is something new and then what do you do with all those videos. Well, you learn how to create something with them, which I did. I have created a YouTube channel to share this new adventure.  My friend and I are avid coffee drinkers and not decaf, which we incorporated in our channel name.   Our channel name is DeepSixDecaf . So after about 3 weeks of pictures and videos today I was able to post a video. Please stop over to the channel and take a look, here is a link for you.  Thanking you for taking the time to check it out!...

September 10, 2017 is a date that I will remember for a long time.  It is like 9/11, we remember where we were and what we were doing at a particular moment in time. The days leading up to September 10 were very busy, not only in my personal life, but at the office and with our staff.  Making sure that before we left that Friday we had all our equipment away from windows, stuffed in closets and covered with trash bags, just in case.  Everything was moved but the desks.  It had been a long time since the desks were that empty, almost like we were moving either into or out of this office.  Also, keeping in contact with the staff to make sure everyone was safe.  The plan was that I would text everyone several times a day and they needed to respond to me that all was okay.  They did a great job keeping up with this throughout the storm and afterwards. Leading up to the weekend, I had been preparing at home.  Making sure my truck had a full tank of...
