WOYWW #751 and Catching Up!

 Good morning, Crafty friends!

September and October got completely away from me!

I spent a long weekend in Springfield, including a day with my sister. 

The following week I was back in Springfield for a planner getaway and two days with my daughter. We'd not had the opportunity to just visit and do stuff together in TEN YEARS!  We spent one day at the Wonders of Wildlife Museum then the next day at the Japanese Botanical Gardens.  Here are a couple of pictures.

Hard to believe my baby girl is 40!

I spent the first eleven days of October setting up videos for a MemoryDex  October Daily series on my youtube channel. I was going to be gone from the 12th - 17th at a writer's conference in Eureka Springs AR.  I have been attending that conference for 27 years. I missed one year in that stretch the weekend my youngest granddaughter was born. Abby turned 12 this year. 

If you'd like to see why my desk looks like this:


then I invite you to check out my #31DaysofHalloween playlist on YouTube... You can also find them on my IG account... https://www.instagram.com/kellyscreativedreams/

I'm a few days behind on IG but getting the pictures caught up.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

 

Creative Blessings!

  5. gosh Kelly, you're a whirlwind! Getting stuff done all over the place and visiting. How great to have some real time with your daughter. The writers conference ought to be awarding you a longevity medal about now, and how lovely that over all these years you still get something from going.

  8. I can well imagine time spent with your daughter was awesome, the best times are those spent with loved ones.
    Love the Japanese Garden but then anything like that always appeals to me. Always very peaceful and at one with nature.
    Hugs, neet 1 xx
