It's been forever...

Or so it seems! I haven't posted in over a month, mostly because I've been busy with other things. I'm not happy when I don't get to craft, but recently my husband's hours got changed to even later shifts, and it's been a challenge keeping up with him! I have gotten in some knitting and recently spent a wonderful sunday vegging with my husband watching old movies on TCM, one of my favorite channels. (Of course, that was after we spent hours emptying our spare room and actually seeing the bed again!) I've been busy creating luminaria bags for the Hi-Line Relay for Life event August 6th, which is just around the corner. I still have t-shirts to make using my Cricut and freezer paper method and I am rather anxious about how they'll look! I only have 2 to make, so I will post pics of both the t-shirts and the luminaria bags. This year, I actually started a team called the "BC Walkers," which stands for brain cancer and the comic strip "BC." My late husband loved the comic strip in the newspaper and never missed reading it. So, I've got 4 more luminaria bags to get done, plus 2 t-shirts. Tomorrow night we sort t-shirts into teams and sizes, and apparently there are over 300 of them! Next week is Lewis & Clark Days in our town, so we'll be working on the Relay float for a few days. Then there is the booth at the park I'll be helping with. Oh, and let's not forget trips to Great Falls and Missoula for VA doctor appointments before and after Lewis & Clark Days. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything! I can't complain about traveling, since I get to shop in Missoula! If you've never been to a Relay for Life, you must take the time! It will touch your heart, I guarantee it! The lighting of the luminaria is something you have to see and I know will make me cry, seeing all the names of all those lost to cancer, those battling cancer, and those who survived their battle with cancer. Also, this year, my team is walking in memory of my late husband, Larry, and his mother, Vera, who lost her battle with colon cancer. Stay tuned for postings of my latest projects!
