I am still here......

Okay, honestly I am getting forgetful in my old age. LOL!!!! This month has been crazy and full of new resposibilities at work and then trying to create when I get home is nearly impossible and to be quite honest I am just pooped! I truly believe that mental tiredness takes more out of you than physical tiredness does. Especially when you spend all day crunching numbers and preparing year end taxes and making sure all the numbers are correctly entered before the forms are printed. I am getting ready to be in a Valentine bazaar next weekend and do have some pics that need to be loaded and shared and promise to load them up this weekend and visit my sweet blogging sisters who I am sure thinks I have forgotten them..I haven't honestly!

I appreciate all the lovely comments being left and would certainly like to know who the anonymous ones are and why all of sudden I am being hit with comments of windmills and turbines ??????? and a language I have no idea how to decipher! I'll just pray that it is a nice comment and not some absurd way of telling me off in their language. LOL!

Have a blessed day and I promise I will be back blogging on a regular basis! Hugs!

Ornaments to share..

I had forgotten that I had made additional ornaments. With the sudden move and sale of the house, I hadn't realized that I had not posted them for all to see. I know I had several requests for ornaments that I had made asking to buy and my sincere apologies for not getting back to you. After being here for two weeks and we had been trying to settle into our new home, we lost our two sweet animals to cancer. Happy was 11 years and Olivia was 10 years. It really took a toll on us. Its funny how you become so attached to them and they become your children when you nest is empty. I still get emotional thinking about it as I write this and my sweet husband has really taken it the hardest and has cried almost everyday and of course it just breaks my heart to see him break down as they definitey were his babies.

Okay here are the ornaments I had made. I know Christmas has past, but still wanted to share them with you all. I still have three more to share, but need to locate them on my drive.

Merry Christmas

Just checking in and wanting to wish every one a stocking full of wishes and a blessed Christmas. May the true meaning of Christmas be with you and yours during this wonderful season.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I am alive and well..Life is just crazy!!!!!

Hello my fellow bloggers and sisters! I am so sorry I have been missing in action for over a month now! Time has certainly gotten away and the holidays are upon us and I have just lost track of time! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and you were able to find some great unbelievable deals on Black Friday.

I am in the midst of moving (swore I would never move during the holiday season) but you do what needs to be done especially in the housing market here in California. Our house sold quickly and they wanted a short escrow like 7 days!!!!! Yikes! Luckily for us we were blessed to find a beautiful new place to live in that is a gated community for 55+ and all the amenities you could ever imagine to be spoiled by. We had to sell all our massive furniture as it would not fit in the new home, but that is okay as it has been time for a change in style for quite a while, just couldn't justify buying new until now. (wink). So instead of having myself enthralled in making ornaments, cards and all the other items that go with this merry season, I am packing boxes and moving. The movers will be here tomorrow to move us and thus I will begin the task of unpacking, putting things away and then hopefully get my craft room done but it will be the last thing to do as there is so much other stuff that needs to be done first which means it probably won't be until the end of the year or the new year before you see any new creations. I hope to still have your faithful following and to all my blog sisters, I promise to comment on your creations (I know I said that before and didn't get around too it) but definitely will I promise!!!!!!. Will get pictures of our new place on here once it is decorated and unpacked for all to see.

If by some chance that I do not get back on here to make a post (as I will have to wait for the new internet service to start) Please have a wonderful Merry Christmas and remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season!!!

Been that long?

No card,ornament or other to show. I cannot believe it has been this long since I have posted anything on my blog. I know I promised to show more of the christmas ornaments I have made, but just haven't taken the pictures and life has been really CRAZY right now!!!!! So please bear with me and I will get them posted.

I have not even visited my fellow blogging sisters to leave comments and certainly need to visit everyone and will do that this week I promise.

I did have a nice surprise from my sweet hubby..he purchased the Cricut Expression for me along with 6 cartridges and the studio. YIPPEE!!!! I have yet to play with it and figure out how it all works, but I know once I learn it will be smooth sailing.

I hope you all had a restful weekend and that you were able to get some projects done. I cannot believe we are two months away from Christmas!!!!! Please continue to visit as I promise to have more items to show.

Breast Cancer......Men?

I don't have a card today, but just wanted to make sure that all you gals are having your yearly exam of your ladies. I read more and more of this terrible disease taking lives of younger women and have personally lost a friend to this disease. Be proud to wear pink all month long and pass the word on to others, even if they are strangers. I have a button that says "Have your ladies been checked?" Of course you can imagine the looks I get from people especially the men, but it is food for thought and hopefully it will make a light bulb go off in their heads. This year alone 1500 men will get breast cancer and of that 1500, 400 of them will die because they didn't realize they can get breast cancer as they believe only women get it! Cancer knows no gender!!!! Be sure to have your hubby's checked as well! My sweet DH thought it was just a sore spot on his left breast, he mentioned it to the doctor when he went in for his annual exam. The doctor began feeling his right one and then pushed on his left breast which about sent DH through the roof from the intense pain; the doctor immediately had him sent for a bioptsy and when the results came back it turned out to be cancer and was at Stage 2. My husband had a radical left masectomy 3 years ago and remains cancer free..praising God for his goodness!!!! You still are asking yourself "men can get breast cancer"? Yes men can get breast cancer. It is only a percentage of 5% of men who do, but they have all the same glands as we do as the doctor explained to me, they just don't develop because of the testosterone. I just wanted to give you all a friendly reminder to remember to get them squished and examined and make your hubby do the same! He may laugh at you, but share this story and it will make him think twice about having an exam this I can guarantee.

Lots of love and prayers to each and everyone of you who have beaten this and to those who are going through it!
