Designer's Block ???

You know the old saying "I have writers block"? Well I think I have designers block. Some things happened that took me away from designing for a while (which I will not to go into) and while I have tried to get back into it I just haven't quite gotten back to where I was. It was emotional, and still is, and the residual stress from it all has taken away my mojo. I hope to get it back, I am working on it. Until then I guess this blog just sits empty for a while longer .... sorry.

Merry Christmas !!

Been gone a long while ... sorry. Real life sometimes reaches up and takes hold and you have to sort things out and put them into perspective. I am no longer selling at Michelle's Angels as Michelle closed her store and opened a new one. I am not selling there at the moment as I need to get back into the swing of things and try to get my mojo back.

Thanks for your support while I was away. I am going to try to get in here more often and keep my blog active. May even just put my stuff on here to sell when I am done with it for a while and see how it goes.

In the meantime ... please check in often to see what I have been up to ... leave me some love and inspiration or ideas you would like to see.

I wish you all a fantastic Christmas and New Year! I hope it is filled with the wonderful aromas we are all so used to this time of year, and more love, joy and merriment than you know what to do with!!

Thanks for riding it out with me ... hope some of you come back in a say hello :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

We Moved!

This has been a very busy, and eventful year! Not into giving a load of details right now and frankly, I am very disappointed in the fact that I am getting so many spam comments.

Anyway, we bought a home on the other side of the country and have been busy getting things together with the move and unpacking ... wow ... I am now ready for a vacation and I am still not done yet, lol.

I hope to be back in the swing of things soon as I can. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for sticking with me. xx

Almost Feb already ... WOW!

So much time has escaped me! We have been so busy with the house it is not even funny. House closes on the 5th, we fly back to load our stuff on the 8th of Feb, and have till the 28th to wait for possession. We hope to be able to get in sooner. After Feb. 8th, I won't be back on here for a while. Have lots of packing to do, some stuff to sell before we head back ETC. Probably wont be until first of March or so.

Please bear with me while we go through this transition. After, I hope to be able to get busy with my blog again.

Thank you to all my friends who have emailed me, left me chat messages etc! That has meant a lot to me!!

Hope to see you all again very soon!!

SPAM!

I finally had to do it .... I am using the word verification now. I am getting too much spam and have much better things to do than deal with these inconsiderate people. Sorry for the inconvenience to my friends and followers. xoxo

As a foot note .... we found a house! YEAY :)
This is not "officially binding" until it passes appraisal and inspection but we see no major issues with inspection and I am sure appraisal will be a breeze!! I (we, lol) are soooo excited! It probably won't close until end of Dec. and then we have the pleasure of taking a flight back to Cali and getting a U-haul and driving our things back here. OH JOY!! Hope the bad weather and snows will have mercy on us during this trek. But I will still be quite busy for a while and will be in and out of here in the meantime. Please bare with me while we go through this transition. Thanks for your patience.

In case I cannot get back in here beforehand I'd like to take the time to wish every one of you a wonderful fun-loving, family filled, joyful and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Irritated!

Wow, I am gone for a short while and come back and all the blogs I was following have disappeared! I have been on a 43 minute search to see if I can get them back without trying to revisit each as I had quite a few and will never remember them all now. LOL ... (I think).

Has this happened to anyone else? Please post a comment if so and how you fixed it. Thanks ;)

I am still in Indiana. We are currently looking for a house to purchase. We are pre-approved, now just waiting to find what we want. Hope to do so and close by mid Nov. at the latest!! Otherwise we will have to go back to Cali to live for a while. Not looking forward to that.

I wanted to thank you all for your support, your messages and prayers. They mean so much, we can't thank you enough!!

I am going to still be very busy for a while with all that is going on and looking for a home. I will be hoping to get back into full swing soon. Thanks for hanging in there with me! xoxo

Checking In

Not sure if anyone is even reading this, but for those that may be I thought I would post an update.

We are in Indiana now. The weather is hot, humid and sticky. Eeek ... I had forgotten how humid the Midwest could be!!

My Father-in-law goes back in for another PSA Count tomorrow. Please say a prayer for him to get good results. Thanks so much.

I've not had time to do any designing, but maybe soon.

Thanks for popping in once in a while and for the well wishes left :)

I am to forward this award on but I just don't have time right now. I am sooo sorry. Plesae read below ...

IMPORTANT NOTICE

We are making a trip back home (Midwest from Cali) to be with family. This is a cross country trip. I will be gone until possibly October or so. Our car has major mechanical issues right now and we have to make this trip on motorcycles. My sweet African Grey is safe at my sisters and I've only got a bit of stuff to do yet, but we are leaving a week earlier than originally planned!! :o
That means things needed to be rearranged somewhat and I have less time now, lol!! We are leaving Thursday, May 28th.

We are taking the laptop so I will be able to check in and maybe post some stuff if I can figure out DH's laptop, lmao. Never tried graphics on it yet. I can be reached by email if needed.

Could everyone please hold off on awards and tagging while I am gone. While I love to get them, and am honorded you think enough of me to send them, they will be hard to keep up on while I am gone and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Thank you so much for understanding.
