Hey guys!
You do not even know how much I have missed chatting with you all. My poor, neglected blog... tsk, tsk, tsk. But I'm here now to say hello and catch up a bit. So, how have you been? Kicking off summer in grand style I hope.
I've actually been splitting my time between home and Seattle lately. Mom got moved to a hospital over there which makes for a 3 1/2 hour commute. No complaints from me though because I want to be there for her as much as I can. There is still no word on when she will get to come home as she is very sick but progress is being made.
I'm hoping though that I will finally feel a bit more motivated to get into the crafty room during the times that I am home because the itch to create is coming back slowly but surely. I still can't promise something every day but hopefully there won't be anymore week long gaps around here.
Today I pulled together a quick card for the Sweet November review preview over on the ATS blog. Tadpole Lily found her way back onto another card and I have quite the mix of scraps from various paper lines to go along with her. In my mind I was going for a 'just off the plane and enjoying the tropics' look with this one. Where can I sign up for one of those trips? ;)
Anywho, there are more Sweet November review preview cards to check out today from my fellow teamies so don't miss out on all of that fun!
I hope, I hope, I hope to chat at you again soon... promise! :)
