Happy Saturday!

I hope you all are having a great day!   I got a good night's sleep and am contemplating what to do with my day...hubby had to work today. It is beautiful outside today so I may take the dog for a walk if I have enough energy. Otherwise, There is always housework to do- but wait...I could be creating! That sounds oh so much more fun than dreary housework!

I have been making images like crazy the last few days... here you go...

you must be shocked

I know, you must be thinking...What? she is posting daily again?  Right?

Well,as I said in a previous post, I am doing better and feel creative again. Also, I am excited about upcoming projects and can't wait to get started!(just have to get the move completed first)

Anyhow, I hope you are all having a wonderful blessed day-

Long time Coming

"I was born by the river In a little tent And just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change gonna come Oh, yes it is
It's been too hard living But I'm afraid to die I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming  But I know a change gonna come Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother I say brother help me please But he winds up knocking me Back down on my knees
There's been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, long time coming But I know a change is gonna come Oh, yes it will"
Sam Cooke 


This song is about many things to many people...to me it is about rising from the ashes of despair and begin to move toward better things. 

I long for the days when the biggest worry I had was getting my craft room organized...lol

I am so Blessed to have a husband who loves and supports me. He is understanding and encouraging. I thank the Lord for him...

And I thank God for all of you who come to my blog... I am way excited about getting moved and getting settled so that I can begin some of the projects I have planed for the blog... stay tuned, In the meantime...how about an image?

Time for a song?

I know it has bee a really long time since I gave you all some music-
This is one of my favorite songs right now..  And after the musical interlude...images!

Only a Mountain
Jason Castro

Another day, another fight
It always feels like an uphill climb
Another step, another mile
The story of your life

It’s harder than you ever thought
And it costs you everything you’ve got
When you’re back against the wall
And you feel like giving up

This is only a mountain
You don’t have to find your way around it
Tell it to move, it’ll move
Tell it to fall, it’ll fall
This is only a moment
You don’t have to let your fear control it
Tell it to move, it’ll move
Tell it to fall, it’ll fall

You’ve gotta find a second wind
It’s not as high as you think it is
Don’t give up and don’t you quit
You gotta climb if you wanna win

And I know it looks big
And I know you feel small
But just a little bit of faith can change it all
Change it all

This is only a mountain
You don’t have to find your way around it
Tell it to move, it’ll move
Tell it to fall, it’ll fall
This is only a moment
You don’t have to let your fear control it
Tell it to move, it’ll move
Tell it to fall, it’ll fall

Ask like you believe it
Trust like you can see it
Take your fear and say
There’s nothing in your way, no oh
Even when it looks big
Even when you feel small
Just a little bit of faith can change it all

This is only a mountain
You don’t have to find your way around it
Tell it to move, it’ll move
Tell it to fall, it’ll fall
This is only a moment
You don’t have to let your fear control it
Tell it to move, it’ll move
Tell it to fall, it’ll fall

It’s only a mountain
Just a little bit of faith can change it all

Moving Day is Set!

So the move happens on June 1, 2013.
I am so excited! I get to have my own room again!... And here is the best part... I will be able to move forward with my plans for the blog and the new features will be awesome!...


Here is an image for today-

reissued images and UPDATE

It has been such an eventful month- I let time get away from me again..My daughter was in a motorcycle accident and broke her neck...

The fellow on the left was the driver...he had several injuries as well. She will be in the brace for some time while the break heals.She is doing ok, and is home from the hospital..

In preparation of some big changes ...

We will be moving within the month and once we are finally settled, I will be able to get organized and post regularly again. I want to thank those of you who still check in for sticking with me...I know the last year has been really difficult and there have been times I wanted to give up, but your support (and my hubby's) has kept me going.

I will be sorting through my images and reissuing some as freebies. The plan is to use a different web hosting service for the store , I will be releasing photpolymer stamps of my images, as well as possible dye cuts, stencils, and embossing folders. I will be adding my line of purses to the web site as well.
Of course I am still working on the Stampin' Up! business- Thank you Mary VS for your last order!!

I will be releasing how to vids with techniques and projects as well.

And Keep in mind that I sell the 4' paper doilies - 25 for 2.75 free shipping within US.

This is an altered embroidery hoop I made- and will be doing a video for.

 This was a white satin top hat that I altered
