Day 1 Dominican Experience
Yesterday was an emotional and long day! Leaving the Dominican Republic was so hard, we had really connected with our families and Dominican Animators. We hit the road by 10AM for the drive from San Pedro de Macoris to La Romana and the airport. We were there almost 3 hours early! The plane was late in arriving so we didn’t get up in the air on time.

Looking For Your Feedback
Today is a busy day on the calendar! (and a good excuse to share some more pictures with you!) (Photo : Gardens at Bolt Castle in the 1,000 Islands) I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your DH’s and DBF’s are much more thoughtful than mine and maybe actually get you a card or a little something to celebrate the day. Honestly I had no hopes, because he’s just not that kind

January Review and February Goals
This year, I am attempting to bulk up my Cross Stitch ornament collection. I have stitched hundreds of ornaments over the years, but most of them were given as gifts and only a few ended up on my tree. So, toward this effort, I used some of Sue Chastain’s Graphic Software motifs to create some abstract little designs to stitch and add to my tree.

Lately my focus on life seems to be pretty narrow, making it from Monday to Friday, so that I can relax and stitch on the weekends. Honestly I get up Monday morning and think about how far away Friday 3:30 (quitting time) is! I just want to come home, sit in my chair with one of my Mum’s quilts on my lap and stitch…

In a recent facebook post, one of the “fans” of the Cross Stitch page was “chatting” back and forth with me about one of my Valentine projects and she said she found it exciting because, according to her, “In my house you are a regular celeb.” I tease with my husband all the time that he is living with a Cross Stitch “cewebrity” and he just rolls his eyes. Of course, I did get recognized in Sam’s Club recently, but it was because I post so much on the fan page for the local weightloss program I participate in! I am certainly NOT a celebrity of any sorts, but I sure get excited when I have contact with Cross Stitch celebrities like Donna Kooler, Mr.

I’ve had a busy weekend, I was involved in more fundraising events which for some reason really tired me out.
