Hello fellow bloggers,

Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was a quiet and some

what relaxing. In my header picture is a card that I made for my

mother-in-law for her birthday. Her birthday was in June. At the

time that I made this card so many of my supplies were still

packed so I grabbed what I could get to easily without making

a huge mess.

I still have not set up my pc and am using a laptop which means

that I can't look at my files to let you know where the image comes

from. I wish I knew so that I could give them the credit they are

due. If anyone knows please let me know. Thank you for stopping

by. Remember you can follow me on Bloglovin. until my next post

Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!! 

Masculine Birthday Card

Hello fellow bloggers,

Hope to find everyone doing well. I'm doing well now that things

have begun to settle down I am finding the time to craft and blog.

 In my header picture is a card that I made. I needed to get some

masculine birthday cards made up so here is one of them. Can

 you tell that I missed crafting. I really got into making this card,

 

The funny thing about this card is that the image comes from the

Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary Collection. The background paper comes

from Me & My Big Ideas Journey 5 X 7 paper pad. The rest of the

cardstock is all scraps so I'm not sure what companies they are

from. If I remember where they came from I'll post it later.

OHhhhh

I keep forgetting to let everyone know that I can now be followed

on Bloglovin.

Last but not least 

I would also like to remind everyone about the new challenge over

at NMWC blog the link is below if you would like to join in.

So until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!!

Where Oh Where Have I Been?

Hello my dear followers,

I hope you all had a wonderful fourth of July.

Mine was kind of quiet but so relaxing just cause I really

needed to collect myself and I'll tell you about it toward the

end of my blog. For now a little about moving and some

crafting.

I know that it has been some time. I am truly sorry. There are

times when life just really gets in the way. For those of you that

may have not read some of my other blogs we moved back to

Oregon. We have been busy trying to settle in. I almost have

everything put away. I just need a few more pieces of furniture

to make this house a home. I have been crafting just that trying

to figure out where I have put all my supplies has been a little

difficult.  In my header picture is one of two scrapbooking pages

that I made for one of my friends here that has been so helpful.

Below is the other page that I made for her more for her daughter.

Rosa loved her pages so glad she did.

For those of you who have moved before and know what a big

job it is will know that it will take me a little bit more time to

get settled in and for things to run smoothly as long as something

or someone doesn't mess that up. In my case it did happen. I was

hoping to really get into blogging and getting my Etsy shop

re-opened by the first of July but someone got a hold of my

bank account and was in Georgia spending my money, Thank

goodness I had fraud and theft protection and could prove that

I was in Oregon spending my money while they were in

Georgia spending it too. So to make a long story short it will

be about the end of July for my Etsy shop because of the

changes that I have to make with my paypal account. I'm just

 thankful that I got all my money back. It took some time

though. Anyway for now I'll take care of my blog.

So until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!.

What Craft Room?

 

Hello my fellow readers!!!!

In my header picture is the Harry & Davids Country store that is

located here in Medford. One of many things that I missed. As

 I said in my post the other day we are now back in the Rogue Valley.

My husbands health issues weren't the only deciding factors for the

move. There were other issues but I'm not going to get into that

because I'm not going to waste my time and stoop to others level.

I wasted to much time trying to get people to take the time to see

me for who I really am and not what others have told them about

me. It wasn't healthy physically and mentally for me to stay living

there.

The next picture is of some white water rafting. Hopefully I will get

to do that agin this summer or at least go on a HellGate Jetboat trip.

 

 

I haven't gotten my craft room/ space set up yet so that is why I am not

posting pictures of my creations. Have the rest of the house to get set up

first. I have been colouring digis at night for some relaxation therapy

....LOL....

Now let me tell you a little about how the Lord really had a hand in this

move. One of my husbands old friends who also was his boss here in the

Valley called one night and offered him his old job back. At the time we

thought he was joking but he continued to call every week and we finally

realized the the Lord was leading us to where we were suppose to go. Let

me tell you there were so many things that had to come together in order

for us to make this move and to our surprise it did, We needed to have

the funds, and a house. I started to look for a house on-line and with in

two weeks of looking I found one and did all the paperwork long distance.

The funds to make the move just seemed to come from heaven. Tax return

which was normal, earned vacation time by my husband was also

given to him, and savings. We are here in a two bedroom house with a

large shop which is what my husband has always wanted.  Now mind you

we have a lot of work to do on the property. I'll get into that some other

time. Once I get everything put away I'll post pictures of the house. The

yard you might not get to see for a year because it is going to take us that

long to have it looking up to par. Ok I have been real wordy today so I

better get back to setting up house so I can get my craft space done, I have

my DT projects to get done.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!
