This week has been over the top at work....If you think the end of the year in a first grade classroom is crazy,...it is! We are "x-ing" the days off at this point~~
I did put a few finishing stitches in my ongoing BBD AotH project...
I went ahead and personalized this block with my MIL's maiden name to honor all of my DH's aunts and uncles that we have such fond memories of....All but 1 aunt has passed away but we still have memories of fall afternoons raking pecans in the yard and canning pumpkin for Thanksgiving pies...
I had the biggest surprise today....Myra had tucked a handmade goodie in my envelope when she returned a chart I had let her borrow.... This darling coin purse is just too cute!!
You are a genius Myra~~~
Well, I will leave you with a couple parting shots of some of "the group" from our reunion last weekend...We all had a blast and it was hard to believe we still act and look pretty much the same as we did back in college...We shared stories and tears and laughs..It truly was an amazing weekend!!!

Hope everyone has a great relaxing weekend~~
