As Promised

I know I told you on Sunday that I'd get back to posting this week and here it is Wednesday and I haven't. I hope you all understand. Getting our lives back to some semi normal is taking some time, but we are so thankful to finally be back into our home. I just work on a little more each day and I know I'll get it done eventually.

Now onto the stamping.

It's a beautiful November day here in Mid-Michigan so we're not thinking of snow yet, but it will come soon enough. This card was fun to make although it was made in a couple different attempts. Seems I find it hard to finish something without getting distracted these days. I used the adorable set The More the Merrier. This set is a level 3 hostess set and you could earn this set for FREE with a qualifying Stampin'Up! workshop. So why not call me today and we'll get yours booked? Even better call me to book and this cute little card can be the Make and Take at your party. Wouldn't that be fun? And I bet your friends would have a great time making it as well. So what are you waiting for?

Stampin' Hugs!

Back Home-----Finally!!!!!

Well we are finally back home. It's been a long 6 1/2 months, but we spent our first night on Tuesday, amongst boxes and all. The only thing I cared about was having my bed to sleep in. We have been through quite a bit as those of you who follow my blog know, but I'm happy to say we are better people because of it and we love the Lord even more. He has been good in spite of all that has happened. The fire, Frank's cancer, pickup truck motor going up, having to put our beloved 14 yr. old cat to sleep and the daily struggles of taking care of insurance issues and making decisions on top of not being able to live in our home. It's been a struggle as I said, but I'm so thankful for all the Lord has brought us through and we couldn't have gotten through it without Him. God is good, all the time. We also appreciate all our family and friends for their support, prayers and helping hands. We are blessed much more than we deserve.

I will have a few stamping things to show you this week, but for now I'll just show you a very small sampling of what our house has been looking like the last week.

We have a total of 297 boxes delivered back to us and that doesn't include furniture, electronics, appliances or clothing. We does one get so much stuff. I swear my girls have saved everything since the minute they were born. They're my little hoarders. I will share pics of the house too as it gets a little more presentable.

I'm now off to do a Stampin'Up! workshop for the Pigeon Women's Club. Wish me luck. I could really use a boost to my business right now.

Thanks again for all your support and prayers. Many blessings and hugs to you all.

Quick Friday Post

Just a quick post. I've been so busy with the house and then today with computer problems. Need I say more? Anyway I hope you enjoy this card. Love this new black and white DSP. Have a great weekend.

Hugs!

Enjoy Every Bite

Isn't this card too cute? As I said yesterday, this set made me buy my first ever Halloween set. I'm not really a Halloween person, but this set was just too cute to pass up. Used the scalloped square Big Shot die on here as well. I get a thrill every time I cut something with the Big Shot.

Well more things to do with the house and getting moved back in. I can't wait to share some pics with you all and for those who live here I can't wait for you to come and visit. It's been a long six months, but I'm so glad we are coming to the end.

Have a blessed day!

I'm So Happy!

As you know I haven't been able to post for quite some time and I've been extremely frustrated with the fact. I also had some things to send to my insurance adjuster on our fire loss and wasn't able to send those either so today I came to my sister's and tried doing my stuff with my laptop and her Internet connection. Praise God! I was able to do both. So it's not my computer, but it is my mom's Internet connection. Sorry mom, we'll get it fixed asap, I promise.

So thank you one and all for your patience and understanding. And just to show you I really appreciate it here is a thank you card I've been wanting to show you.

Love the Crush Curry color and the new Autumn stamp set. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I can't wait to move back into our house in the next couple of weeks and put my fall stuff out. So until my next post................................

Happy Stamping!

Still Having Problems

Hi friends, just wanted to let you know I'm still having problems uploading anything to blogger. I've got things to show you, but can't get them uploaded. If anyone has any suggestions besides deleting cookies please let me know. I'm about at my wits end. And as some of you know I don't have a lot of wits to begin with. LOL I'm thinking this has something to do with my mom's internet connection because I'm not only having trouble on my laptop, but her desktop computer as well, but I just can't get it to work no matter what I try. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We should be moving back home in a week or two. Yeah! I'm so ready to be home. It's been almost 6 months and I thought I wouldn't make it the 3 months which was the original move back in date. The Lord has given me greater strength than I thought possible the last 6 months and I know He's used you my friends as well with your prayers and support of me and my family. Thank you so much.

Hugs to you all,
Renee
