So Long, Farewell


We’re going to be closing down this blog. (This is not an April Fools joke.) You’ve probably all noticed that our posts have been getting fewer and far between and that only Susi posts…which brings us to say…

I (Susi) will be starting a new blog with my other email address. Now, for those of you who would like an invitation, here is what you have to do (and if you don’t do it all right, you don’t get invited! Ehehe!)

Leave a comment saying…

-You’d like an invitation to my new blog
-You’re favorite post on “Hensie and Susi’s Scratchpad”
-What book(s) you are reading
-Your full name
-The name of your favorite cartoon character
-The last thing you ate

Yep, they’re random, even stupid, questions, but you must answer them in order to get an invite. The reason for the questions? Well, if you really want to read my blog, you’ve got to be serious enough to answer all the questions.

We just want to thank all of you for being such great friends, and thanks for taking time to read our blog and leave comments!

Blessings,
Hannah R. Criss and Susanna R. Criss

Just About to Head Out...

We'll be camping somewhere in Washington with Jon and Kelsie, Betty, and Phil over Memorial Weekend. What are you plans for the long weekend?

After Four Months...

...I've finished it!! Though I didn't read it faithfully, I really did enjoy this book - I learned a lot about Ike (even wrote a short story about him...it'll be on the writing blog someday. ;-), as well as a bunch on WWII. Still, I'm glad to be on to other books...=)

CH Home School Conference

I know...it's been two weeks today since the first day of the conference and most of you have probably forgotten it. But, posting this has been on my to-do list for a while and I can't leave one box empty on my list.

So, here are some of my highlights...

-Spending time with great friends - the Van Cleves, Susanna Cash, Bryans, Hainlines, Booys, and many others!
-Having a "Jamba Juice date" with Krissy, even though it only last about fifteen minutes.
-Meeting Allen Wolfe, S.M. Davis (I didn't officially meet him, like "Hi, My name's Susanna", but I did help him, his wife, and grandson take down their booth in the vendor hall), Diego Rodriguez's wife and daughters, Steve Riddle, and Ryan Yamane. I almost had my picture taken with Voddie Baucham (that was NOT my idea =P), but he left just as we were getting close to him. =)
-Diago Rodriguez's message "Astronomy in the Bible". I wasn't able to go to the "How Big is God" session, but we bought the DVD and watched that Sunday afternoon. It was amazing!
-Singing in the Choral
-Fainting Saturday night (it's the one thing that I will remember most about this conference.=)

New skirt!

Last night, Hensie finished this skirt which she's been working on (by hand!) for a couple months. (I couldn't figure out how to crop this picture...)

In the mirror. =)
