I am back.

It has been a very long time since I last wrote to you all and let me tell you I miss you. I did finish my kitchen and it looks wonderful Soon after the completion of the project, my mom arrived from Brazil to stay with us for 40 days. We are enjoying here before she goes home on Friday.

I have done some work around my craft room, but did not spend much time there lately. I work today on a card for the DSC 251 and since I needed some Sympathy Card I went for that. Here I used the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP as well as the Coffee Break DSP and they are both currently on sale! For the image I used the Touches of Texture stamp set, and the sentiment from Rose Wonder stamp set. I hoarded a bunch of Chevron ribbon in the past, so I got some out for today's project. The flowers from the image got a bit of color and all was done.

Thank you so much for visiting today and for the e-mails. Know that all is well and I will soon be in the swing of things again. Be well

Am I out yet?

It has been an eternity since I posted anything. My life is consumed by the renovation of our kitchen, but, I must say, we are very happy as it is turning out. We have the kitchen fully functional now, but there are lots of details to finish up. Our dining room is getting a fresh coat of paint and then we need to tidy things up. My mother has also decided to come visit us at the end of the month, so I have a big incentive to finish it all up.

I have snicked around to get some "me" time in my craft room and it felt so wonderful to have that time to create. Today I prepared a card for Dostamper Stars 243 and I used the Coffee Break DSP for the background and for the image I use the Jar of Love stamp set and matching framelit. The card has a neutral feel to it, so it can easily be used for a male friend too. I was about to add some rhinestone and flowers, but liked the more organic nature of the card, so I left it alone.

Life will soon resume to normal. I will have my mother visiting, we will start school, the renovation will be completely done, and I will be spending more time with you too. Until then, know that I have appreciated your support, friendship, and understanding. Be well
