Hello everyone!
I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.
Before I get to the project I made for Chi Chi Memories, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the emails that I have received from many of you regarding my friend, John, who committed suicide on Thursday. I didn't sleep at all for three nights and finally got 6 hours of sleep last night. Many of you have shared stories of your losses and they have all been very helpful as I work through this. For those who are not on my Facebook page or take classes with me, the story goes that I was supposed to try to meet him last week but couldn't make it down. I received the call from a mutual friend the following evening that he had died. I try my best to live my life without regrets and am afraid that this is one that will weigh heavily on my heart and conscience for a very long time to come. I had the opportunity to see him... if anything for one last time. I didn't take it and now he is gone. I fully understand that I am not at fault or to blame but there's always the "what if" that keeps popping up in my head.
Now on to happier news!
My boys are going back to school!! Today will be the first day of school. The best part is that my youngest is going to Kindergarten!! He will have the same teacher that his brother did so it should be relatively easy.
I always make something small for the teachers on the first day. Here's what I made for Mrs. MacDonald.
