Retired

 Hello everyone!  I hope there are at least a few people who still read my blog.  I retired March 1, yay!  I retired after almost 36 years with the Indiana Department of Correction.  And I don't miss it!  I have a few pictures of the stuff that was gifted to me for my retirement.  I was truly spoiled! 

My best friend got me the stuff in the first 3 pictures, plus a pair of spring themed hot pads which I forgot to photograph.



The following is all from my work.  Lots of great stuff!


In case you can't read the above, it says "I don't give a sip, I'm retired!"  And it sparkles!





There is a sash and a metal tiara in the above box that both say "Officially retired" in pink sparkly color!


The above is a very nice, big, and heavy canvas tote bag.  Love it!
The wind chimes are too pretty to put outside.  The disc part at the bottom was very hard to photograph.  It says "Never underestimate the difference you made and the lives you touched"  Yes, I cried when I opened it. 

The candle is a lavender-eucalyptus scent and I love it!

Now that I am retired, I hope to be able to post at least once a week, if not more.  I have pictures to share of stash and recent finishes.

Take care everyone!
