Once a week, I go over to see my granddaughters, ages 4 and 9, to do arts and crafts. A fun time to spend with the granddaughters who just love the artistic side of life. The best day of the week. We needed some fun and refreshing projects to do so I began scouting around the Internet for ideas. Since Easter is around the corner, thought it would fun to make some new decorations for this year. I plugged popsicle sticks and clothes pins into Google and came up with quite a few wonderful projects I think they will like. Continue reading “Kid Fun … The Best Fun”
Treasury of Links — I Share With You
Today, I have been working on setting up my bookmarks for everyone to enjoy. Just wanted to share the great things I am finding throughout my travels on the web. I especially like the free sites with free patterns or lessons. I am all about learning how to do something and doing it myself. I will be adding new links on and off in the future. I will post them in a contrasting color making them stand out as new. I hope you enjoy.

Day 4 – Doing What I Love
This Crafting Baby Boomer is originally from Massachusetts where I spent most of my life working as a medical transcriptionist. My husband passed away and many things changed in my life. A series of twists and turns lead me to coastal Camden County Georgia right smack dab on the Georgia/Florida state line. An excellent place to be in winter. If you know anything about winter in Western Massachusetts, I’m sure you will agree. The last year I was there it was snowing 18-20” every three to four days. Temperatures were beyond cold with horrific wind chills. Put it this way…I know what frost bite is much to my chagrin. Always said my birth was a geographical error. So ending up down south was no hardship.
Quite a few years lapsed before I returned to work. When the children were grown, it was time to go out and get involved again. This turned out to be quite difficult. The area is very small and locating a job in itself was difficult, not to mention as a medical transcriptionist. There was one local hospital which had only one…one transcriptionist in the whole building. The more I looked it became clear technology ran me out of a job. Doctors were now all learning to type their own reports with some fantastic software that had been developed, as well as systems translating speech into documentation. Ouch!
