well, i missed a couple of weeks!! oops!!

i guess by now you have figured out that i missed my bi-weekly posting!! time just flies so fast, sometimes it is even hard to keep up with life!! last week we had an
8 inch snow storm!! we still have quite a bit of snow on the ground, i am ready for it to melt and go away...






i have been busy doing many things; household stuff, going through and getting rid of things, so many things to do and just not enough hours in the day! at the end of this month i am downsizing/closing my day care. i will still have one that is older and doesn't require so much holding, lifting, etc. ten years of doing this has taken a toll on my back, shoulders and wrists. this being a bittersweet thing, i will so miss the children and their parents, but i will get some time to rest parts of my body that are screaming out, "WE ARE GONNA QUIT!!!" i am hoping to coax those parts back into being part of a healthy, functioning body!! ;)

i have done some scrappin and will get that posted. i pretty much get all of my inspiration and daily 'fix' from the mosy scrapper. i love that blog... you will have to check it out. christa and her design team give more inspiration and challenges than this girl can keep up with!! (i am hoping to get some more scrap time in eventually!! it is on my to-do list!!) stop by and 'mosy' around, you will love the friendly ladies there!!! http://mosyscrapper.blogspot.com/ this is the blog and just click on the sidebar to go to the message board also!! here are this month's kits, i can't wait to get mine and work with them, christa does a fantastic job jam packing them full of goodies!!
