WELCOME!

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to have you visit with me and I hope you enjoy your stay. I absolutely love company, sharing, and making new friends so I hope you find something here that inspires, motivates, or just pleases you in some way.

Of course, I love to visit and be inspired also. So if I don't already drop in on you, please let me know where I can find you and I'll hop on over to see what you're doing or to just say "hi".

Before you go, I would love it if you'd please leave me a comment letting me know you dropped in! Actually, I'd just love to hear from you -- comments, opinions, or questions you'd like me to answer.

HELLO!!! MISS YOU!!!

Hello, all my friends and family!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July holiday!!!

I am so sorry I am just getting to you.  I've been soooo busy!!!  But I had to take a minute to sneak in to let you know I've been thinking of you and to let you know you're in my thoughts.  I'd tried to leave you a message several days ago, but got caught up in some other last minute planningss.  I do hope all's been well during my brief absence and that you've been enjoying life, and doing some happy crafting!!!

Between my and my husband's family, we've had five sets of out-of-town families who came in for the holiday.  One group of family was totally unexpected and quite a pleasant surprise!  Between those who stayed at our home and with other famuly members, it's been back and forth visiting and planning family activities.  Most are gone back to their home states, but currently my brother and niece, and my hubby's niece are still here until this Wednesday of this week.

I have enjoyed and am enjoying my family; however, I do miss you all and my crafting terribly!!!  We have some events planned for the nieces over the next several days, so I probably won't be back here again until they leave; after they leave I'll will be back on more of my current blog routine -- and I can hardly wait.  I hope to have something special for you later this week and so I hope you all drop in for a visit.  I'll also be around your blogs to catch up on some of the wonderful things you've done in my absence and to say hello, and that I'm back!!!

It's been really hot here, and between the running back and forth, and family activites, it's all been pretty exhausting -- but fun! Some family members we hadn't seen in over 15 years, so there was a lot of catching up to do there.  But now I'm really looking forward to getting back into my relaxing and stress-relieving crafting activities.

Again, I miss you all terriby, and for those of you who were concerned and checked up on me, thank you so much -- that means so very much to me to know I've been in your thoughts as you've been in mine.

I love you all, and I'll be back to you later doing the week!  Hope you come to visit!!!

I wondered where you were. :) I hope you are having a great time with your family, it is always nice when you can get together with your loved ones. I will have family here all next week too so I probably won't get much crafting done either. Great to hear from you! Take care and have fun!
