12/16/11--21:27: Christmas photo shoot 2 (chan 3108289)

When I set up this mini photo shot, my intent was to get a family portrait without the Christmas props. Annie changed my mind. She immediately sat down by the tree and didn’t move the whole time. Like I mentioned in a previous post … Della couldn’t sit still. Suzzie would get bored with Della’s [...]


12/18/11--10:50: another Pinterest inspired project (chan 3108289)

My Christmas decor revolves around the Heirloom Stockings made crazy quilt style out of the dresses my mom wore for formal events. I have made stockings for every family member, used it as picture backgrounds, made a tree skirt, and even bone-shaped stockings for my dogs. This year, I wanted something different for the centerpiece [...]


12/21/11--15:49: what happened to my fashion saavy? (chan 3108289)

I joined Facebook a couple of years ago due to my upcoming 25th class reunion. It’s become one of my daily addictions. A lot of class photos were posted in the year up to the reunion (July 2010). A few more showed up yesterday with a lot more classmates tagged in them. It made me [...]


12/29/11--09:03: a redo after 12 years & 3 dogs (chan 3108289)

My sofa & loveseat are going to get a very well deserved reupholstering. These are 70s era furniture that my brother’s ex-wife left in my sister’s garage. Got that relationship? Anyway, I fell in love with the shape of them even though they were covered in a cream, orange, and brown HUMUNGOUS floral fabric. A [...]

I posted a status on facebook complaining about the swishy noise in my ear. Then I get an off-topic comment from Jim. I graduated from high school with Jim. His best friend (Dan) married my best friend (Lois) around the same time as graduation. Dan & Lois are still happily married. Jim & I have [...]


12/31/11--13:21: are you the Bonnie Knapp that grew up in L’Anse? (chan 3108289)

Yes, I am. Sarah was one of my besties before her dad went to another parish. I got a message that said “are you the Bonnie Knapp that grew up in L’Anse?” and “I have story to share with you.” I’m embarking on my new year with Shaffer’s cheers for me. And my planned vacation [...]


01/07/12--05:27: starting 2012 on a rollercoaster (chan 3108289)

Wow! This year has started off just crazy… some great highs & some great lows. The 1st & 2nd days of 2012 I got to spend with my best friend. He’s an avid Lions fan. We met in Green Bay for the Lions @ Packers game. It was funny when we showed up dress in [...]


01/29/12--16:39: don’t judge me & I won’t judge you (chan 3108289)

This evening I had to run to the store to get change so I could pay for my home food delivery (ham & cheese on frybread). I was the only one at the store parking lot at the time besides  a guy in a Liberty Tax getup. He ran & hid when I pulled in. [...]
