Thanks!

Hey there friends! I hope you are doing well! So, I was saying in my last post that I've been a bit "pre-occupied"...well, here is the reasoning! Other than the fact that I am a momma to 4 fast growing, all sorts of involved, busy bodied kids...in late August I started feeling pretty nasty on a pretty regular basis!! I am happy to share with you all that I will have another little busy body little boy in join our family in May! This "tie breaker" as he has already been named by my kids will make 3 boys and 2 girls for my little tribe! I am finally feeling pretty back to normal and only have occasional days that find me down on the couch!:) YEA!!

Also, we just finished up a change of address! We found a house the day after Halloween that really gave us incentive to move...and well, we up and moved! We are less than a mile away from our old house, but we are really happy with a bit more space to move around!! And, well, the months of November and December were full of staging our home, photographs, packing boxes, showings etc...and then Christmas and unpacking boxes...you get the idea!;) So, That's what  I've been up to the past few months!

I am really happy to be "back!" Feeling good, pretty much settled and my workroom is all put together! So, I'm ready to be back at my desk, making pretty things!

I decided to try find my "mojo" starting with a few sketches! So, today I am sharing a card from the new Freshly Made Sketch, 119. I love using sketches to get myself going! Pulled out some pebbles paper, some stamps from PTI and Simon Says...and there you have it! I'm also playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Challenge, Anything Goes!

 
I have a few more cards to share, so I'll be getting back into regular posting! Thanks for sticking with me and for your sweet comments! I look forward to getting "back in" to reading your blogs and all the fun that goes along with our fun "hobby!" Take care and I'll see you tomorrow!
