Also, my mom was released from the hospital on the 5th and I have been staying with her and helping with her home care. Unfortunately there isn't an internet connection out there so I'm feeling pretty cut off from my little online world right now. I have been reading a lot but the situation hasn't been very conducive to card making. Though now that I've finished The Night Circus, which is completely wonderful, magical and amazing by the way, I'm thinking about packing up my Copics and seeing what I can get colored in the evenings. Then who knows, I may actually be able to make a card or two. I'm not making any promises on that though, not even to myself, as my creative mojo has been on a major hiatus through everything that I have going on.
So posts here will most likely remain sporadic for the time being. Believe me, I still love stamping, coloring and making cards but until my life calms back down a bit this just has to be put on the back burner. It makes me sad to admit that but a shift in priorities is a must right now. Hope you all understand and I'll keep in touch. :)

ReplyDeleteGlad everything is okay.
I totally understand the priority thing. These days, I have been blogging less and less and it's not that I don't love stamping/card making anymore. Kids come first. :)
Yup, get some coloring done in the meantime. Those will come handy once you are able to create like before again.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
It's wonderful to see a post from you, but by no means should you worry about it. You have much bigger priorities right now. Just know you and your mom are in our thoughts and our prayers and only wish the best for you.

Hi Amy. This is wonderful news that your Mom is at home. Don't worry about blogging...Mom comes first and we'll still be here. Your card is so pretty and I love the fall colors. I'm liking the "no stamping/coloring" cardmaking right now. Life suddently got so hectic for us so I've been MIA. Take care of Mom, and yourself, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear Mom is home and doing well. I hope the fires stay away! I so know how it feels when life takes unexpected turns and priorities shift. I've been working non-stop for the last 28 days and have had no time for crafting, let alone anything else. We all will be here patiently waiting, take your time! Hugs, tina
glad to hear your mom is doing well Amy and that you can be there of her! Like everyone else said.....we will all be here when you get back!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteLife is so full of ups and downs, but I'm so happy to hear that your mom is back home! I hope that you are also taking care of yourself as the job of a caretaker is so physically and emotionally draining! Just take it one day at a time. I remember there was a few months when I didn't create or blog and it was because I was so tired from my second pregnancy and so busy w/ my toddler. And you said that things happen and sometimes a break is necessary to go on with your life. And so I'm saying it to you as well. We totally understand. We miss you and are glad to hear from you, but you should take care of your mom and yourself. I, for one, am jealous that you are reading as my list of books are growing, wishlisf that is!! Awesome card. Btw!!
Hi Amy, glad to hear that your mom is out of the hospital. I hope everything will be ok and take care of yourself too. As always your card is beautiful.
