HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Well it sure has been several months since I have posted on my blog. The last time as you probably know was back in May, right before I had my third back surgery. It has been a rough road to recovery & a long one at that. I'm still not completely healed &  have a ways to go, still in much pain, but getting better.

I hope Y'all had a wonderful summer, a very Merry Christmas & a safe  & Happy New Year Eves.

My craft room still isn't all set up, but have been trying slowly to get it together. So in the future I will be posting my progress of how it will look.

My youngest son Steven got married in September & it sure was a beautiful wedding. I designed & made all the wedding invitations. When everything was done including the wedding, I was exhausted & needed a good rest. LOL
This week I will be posting pics of the invitations & their wedding pic.

Lately, I have been busy crocheting & also working on a quilt for my master bedroom.
I am trying so hard to get back into crafting, because for the past several months I had no interest in anything. Probably if it wasn't for Steven getting married & for me offering to make the invitations, I wouldn't of made anything till recently. So that was a good thing to get me motivated.
Then one  day I woke up & realized I missed crafting. Crafting keeps me sane.

So, I hope Y'all will check back daily to see what I am making for the New Year & that you haven't given up on me.

Stop by real soon to see what is new.

May God Bless Y'all.
Hugs,
Dee

Tomorrow Is The Big Day

Tomorrow is my surgery day, so I will be away from my blog for awhile. I hope that you will check back in about a week to see if I have posted anything.
I know that you all are out there lerking at my blog, but still no comments. What's up with that?
I appreciate any feedback that I receive, so I will know what you would like to see on my blog in the near future.
So come on, please leave me your comments. Give me some ideas of what I should be posting. I want to post things that you all want to see & learn about. I am still learning about this blogging stuff.
Take care & have a wonderful & blessed day.
Hugs, Dee

My News

Hello,
I thought that I would be able to get a couple more cards done before I had my surgery.
But with all this extra testing & things that I have to get done around the house, there just isn't enough time, sorry.
Plus with all this pain, it makes it hard for me. I have one more day at home, then bright & early Thursday morning, I will be headed to the hospital  which is over 2 hours away from my here. Then here I go again.
Hopefully, I will only be in the hospital for a week or less this time. I hope that this is true, then I can come home & get better where I'd rather be.
I've noticed though that I haven't had any comments recently of what I have posted.
I am hoping when I get better, can craft again & post what I made, you all will start commenting.
I love to get comments so please start leaving them when you look over my blog, it will be greatly appreciated.
That way, I will know what you would like to see here on my blog.
So until after I come back home from my surgery, have wonderful & blessed days.
Hugs,
Dee

Happy Mothers Day To All

Hope that all you ladies out there are having a wonderful Mothers Day.
I have to run out for a few things & for more meds for Tom, then when I get back I want to get a little cleaning done.





I have been praying that my little granddaughters, my DIL & oldest son will come & see me. I haven't seen my granddaughters since Christmas. I miss them so much.
I made these cards yesterday to give to both my DIL's plus  an extra one. I forgot to take a pic of the first card before I signed it.
Hope you will like them.
Have a wonderful & blessed day.
Hugs,
Dee

Another Step To My New Craft Room

Hello Everyone,

Sorry that I haven't posted for a few days, my DH has been keeping me busy & it isn't easy when I have to deal with my own pain.
I just haven't been in the mood for any crafting, so I am very sorry for no new card.
In place of a new design I have posted a new area in my craft room.

This is where I am keeping my chipboard  letters, which is in the drawers on top.
I have my 2 cuttle bug machines & some ribbon.
In the bottom area, going left to right, first top left cubby are some of my clear stamps from Anna Griffin & Hero Arts, etc.
Next pink canvas drawer holds some containers of silk flowers
Next cream drawer holds unfinished wooden items for the holidays

Next row down from left, that one is embossing folders & Spellbinders folders.
Next the cream drawer holds  some white card stock & assorted 8x8 paper card stock pads
Next pink drawer holds some more wooden things to make &  a can of  sealer from Folk Art & a can of Aleenes Tacky spray
Below on the last row is a drawer container that holds more card stock & the same in next cubby.
The last cubby holds sticker folders & Creating Keepsakes books.

Hope you enjoyed the little tour of this section of my craft room.
Until the next time, hope you all have a wonderful & blessed day.

Hugs,
Dee
