Where Has February Gone?

Can't believe tomorrow will be March 1st! Before I know it spring will be right around the corner....I'll be diving head first into my flower beds. I can't wait! There is still one more month of Sale-a-Bration with Stampin' Up. (My favorite time of year) If your thinking about ordering now is the time to do it!! For every $50 you spend you get to choose a free sale-a-bration stamp set, designer paper or ribbon bundle. This only happens once a year! My 2 "very large" boxes showed up here on Monday...I finally got to dive into them briefly today. (15 minutes) I cut out a few things with my BIG SHOT! Which I love!!! I hope to do some more with it tomorrow!

Life Must Go On

I'm finally back at it! It felt good to finally release some unwanted stress in my craft room. (The massage today helped also) I am finally feeling human again and hope today is a step in the right direction. Thanks for hanging in with me the past few months as we had one bump in the road after another. I'm learning to enjoy life and all that comes with it!

Family is What Life is All About!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to give you an update....many of you that follow my blog, know our family has been struggling hard after my Mother in Law was diagnosed with Stage 4 Stomach Cancer in October. Her fight came to an end yesterday afternoon. It was very heartbreaking and much of a shock to all of us, that it would end so suddenly after she had been doing so well. You can read the updates on her carringbridge website as I don't have the strength or mind set to retell the story! She now walks hand in hand with the Lord. I will be taking time from many things, stamping will be one of them. Thanks again for every one's kind words and my dear friends that have held my hand through this. Now I just need to find strength to keep my husband strong! (My parents are flying home from Arizona to help on Wed.) Family is really what life is all about! Make sure you take time for what really matters, everyday!
