“Hoppy Easter”

First of all let me thank everyone who sent wonderful comments about cancer. They say that “timing is everything” - little did I know that March was Colon Cancer awareness month, a fact I didn’t realize until I was watching a morning news program last Friday. One of the comments I received put it in a nutshell. We should treat our bodies in the same manner as we treat the cars we depend on so much. Regular maintenance checks are a must, and we need to investigate any and all unusual noises, etc.

We taped a new series of Scrapbook Memories last week and had wonderful guests to work with, so I hope everyone will tune in when the series starts to air at the end of July. There were more digital projects this time and I even did a project on glass etching! I show how easy it is to create a custom stencil with a digital shape cutter, then use the stencil to etch glass/mirror. The etching product I use is great! It produces a REAL etch, but it’s very friendly. It doesn’t smell, doesn’t eat my fingers and, best of all - it’s reusable. Look for a demo soon on U-Tube!

Getting home from the studio this time, however, was an experience! My “Good Friday” morning flight was cancelled, then the early Saturday morning flight that I was re-booked on, was also cancelled and I was re-booked again for early Sunday. Luckily I received the notification about the Saturday flight in time to cancel my 4:30 am wake-up call! As I sat in my hotel room Saturday morning, watching the news about the 8″ of snow that had fallen during the night and other flight cancellations, I felt compelled to call the airlines again. The lady answered on the first ring and after a few words we discovered we were from the same area in England! As we chatted a seat opened up on a direct flight that afternoon…… yeh! God is so good. All the family got together Easter Sunday at our house, so it was good to be home in time to prepare the family dinner and hide Easter Eggs. Hope you all had a fun day too!

Yours truly, Julie
