    Love checking out your instagram – some really great shots of Emily there :).

    Around here I am thankful for the focus I have had with getting my hd purged of stuff………..stuff I no longer want to play with, stuff I haven’t felt bad about purging.

    Around here I have made inroads to cleaning my ‘office space’ in our den and have used the same thought ‘if you haven’t used it in 6months, get rid of it’.

    Around here I am thankful that I have my Niece to give craft supplies to.

    Around here I am back on WW and so far managing to stay on track; slow and steady is getting me closer to my far off goal.

    Around here I am moving more with the aid of several workout videos that are gentle on my joints and am feeling a little more flexible.

    Around here I am thankful for the brilliance of Jennifer’s laid back teaching style with Simple Scrapper!

    I enjoy your Simple Scrapper website, but I rarely post anything, anywhere. Your recent “around here” list resonated with me, so here goes.

    Around here, I am enjoying an amazingly bounteous blueberry harvest this year: pies, jam, gallons in the freezer for future reference, and of course fresh blueberries on my oatmeal each morning.

    Around here, I’ve finally finished the paper version of my January 2013 visit to Yellowstone National Park—fun memories!

    Around here, my hubbie and I are making a point of doing at least one “wildflowers” hike a week, and taking lots of photos of beautiful mountain meadows.

    Around here, I am grateful for my retirement, and the time it gives me to pursue the things that bring me joy, peace and satisfaction.
