My Happy Place...

There is a place where I find serenity. I find peace. I find myself. I took a drive there a couple days ago...

Back in the Saddle?....

Well....so maybe I'm not completely back in the saddle, but I have my toe in the stirrup.  I just finished filling my first pattern order in over 2 years.  Not that I haven't had the orders, but I just haven't had it in me to fill them for quite some time.  Life has been so busy, and my little business was set aside, purely my choice, to spend time doing "stuff" for my family and our schools. 
So, a store called me last week and ordered, and I decided to fill this one.  I really want to start stitching again, but I have had no desire to even do that.   I do know that when I did stitch, it brought me joy, self accomplishment, and made me feel like I could accomplish something.  I am hoping that by filling this order, it will help me want stitch, create, and motivate me to do those things fun things I use to do:)

Maybe I'll be completely back in the saddle sometime...

Our Weekend...

Well we were able to sneak away to St. George for the weekend...thank you Keegan for having a baseball tourney to have the excuse to get away. It was Awesome!!! I have a few pics that I have not edited yet, but will soon. But I have to show you these. While we were there the Blue Angels happened to be in town. So cool!!! Take a look...

Well...

Well, I know that I have said it before, but I'm back.  I don't know that anyone will notice or not, hopefully yes, but I have misssed the joy that blogging brings to me.  It kinda kicks me in the toosh to create so I can post.  It helps me want to get creative and do the things I love.  So here I am, saying I'm back!  I want to create again.  Want to take pics again.  Want to chat with cyberland out there again.  So hopefully there will be some friends come back and read, and hopefully new ones too.So, the group of friends that I did card club way back when decided to start meeting again.  Some of us that is.  Everyone's lives change and some have moved and some simply don't have the time.  Anyways....we started meeting again last month.  We have new friends that come, and some just come to mingle and talk, and some of us still exchange cards.  It was awesome.  Here is the card I created for that night.  So simple, and sooooo easy, yet I like them.  Be posting more soon.  Whether it be stuff I've done, things I want to try, or just chatting....I'll be back!

You Gotta Go...

HERE!!!

This is one of my best friend's show.  and it is FABULOUS!!!  You need to go and have a great time shopping amazing crafters' creations...and once  you walk in her back yard, you won't want to leave!!  And let's make this even funner...if you go, and comment here after you have been  telling me what  you like the most, I will do a drawing for a give away from me!  but you have to comment here on Saturday or Sunday and I will draw on Monday.  This is the one and only show I usually do, but my life is a whirlwind this year, and I am saddened like no other that I can't do it this year.  So I will give something away on Monday that I would have normally sold there.  I promise I will make it a fun give away. 
So mark your calendar now for Saturday!!!  You will love it!!
