today marks eight years at my current place of employment…

while the girls were small I was able to stay home… it was a special time and we were very lucky to make that work…

so I’ve worked outside the home for the last twenty years or so…

most of that time it has been in the not-for-profit environment…

joining this organization in September of 2009 was a great fit…

over the years I have been allowed to reinvent my position and focus on the things that I enjoy and have the skills and interest in…

this doesn’t always happen in the workplace…

I work with an amazing group of people and consider myself very lucky…

grateful…

big girl pants, blessed, calling, coasters, gift, grateful, job, Pinterest, resin, work

today I celebrated six years at my current work… I was so excited that I barely slept last night…

  
had been thinking for weeks about what I could make as a thank you gift for my colleagues…

decided on coasters with some of my photos on them… 

  
had a hard time choosing the pictures… going through my albums I needed thirteen but picked about fifty… decided to make them all, lol…

  
that was a good plan because I wanted everyone to be able to pick one they liked, not get stuck with something that didn’t speak to them…

spent time on Pinterest looking for a good process and then spoke with my daughter about best practices…

  
tried Modge Podge on a few, but that didn’t work… was very nervous about trying the resin but it was very simple once I got the hang of it…

as I worked, I thought about which person would choose which picture… I was right for about half…

  
my workplace is pretty special… I have been able to expand my “job” to fit my skills and likes and that is quite wonderful…

my colleagues are all great people who care about one another and the people we work with… 

in my work life I have been blessed… I haven’t really seen my positions as work, more as a calling… and this position has been no different… 

I am forever grateful to have these people in my life…
