Retirement - YAY!!

I finally retired from my former company, Archway Marketing and my last day was December 29, 2016.  My co-workers threw me a retirement luncheon and this was a photo taken during the festivities.  This Fancy Pants Joy Parade collection was absolutely PERFECT. 

Sketches in Thyme Reveal and Day 4 of ACOT 30/30 Challenge

I am up today on the Sketches in Thyme Blog using the fabulous sketch by Brenshevia.  I am also hosting the ACOT 30/30 Challenge today.  You have a chance to win goodies at Sketches in Thyme and a $5 ACOT GC from me at ACOT.

Welcome to 2017 - a new year of scrappy goodness

My first layout of 2017 is for the A Cherry on Top monthly Manufacturer Challenge that I host.  I chose the word RETIRED (since my official first day of retirement will be January 3rd) where the participants can chose as many manufacturers that start with those letters. 

I used Echo Park "Anything Goes" and The Twinery charcoal twine.  The layout features my granddaughter, Emma at one of her races this past autumn.  She had some bike malfunctions but still managed to finish the race.  I am so proud of her.

I am also honored to be helping with the ACOT 30/30 Challenge hosted by Sara M. and will be posting challenges o every Wednesday during the month of January.
