Where did April Go?

Well, I have putting some of my cartridges in my Gypsy...still not sure if I want to put them all on there or not...decisions, decisions...

I have been watching a lot of video's that is for sure and have a lot of info going around in my head. I really love the new carts, especially Create a Critter and should be getting the new Summer carts on Tuesday. But I have to make a Heritage album for a cousin of mine for a family reunion coming up on June 12th...so have to get my rear in gear.

I know that I am going to sell my Cricut Jukebox, never even opened it and now with the Gypsy, I reckon I don't need it. Also have a new Destinations cartridge that came with my G that I don't need as well...so if anyone is intested, let me know.

Only 10 more months until retirement, so looking forward to that. At present we have of our youngest son [37] still home [he is a commercial fisherman in Alaska] helping his dad [Benny can no longer work after his surgery, so he is now retired] and one of our grandson's [19] living with us. Big change since it has been just Benny and I for a lot of years. But we take it a day at a time.

Okie dokie...off to make some heritage pages...will check back in soon.

Happy April!

Well....where did March go? It seems the older one gets [me, lol] the days and months fly by. So, I thought that I would put myself on a mission. For those that know me, I am someone who 'wants' to always organize their scrapbooking space..can't tell you how many times I have started and never finished. But I keep finding new tools/goodies that I have bought and 'misplaced', for lack of the word 'lost.' Well, we have one of our grandson's staying with us for a while and his girlfriend loves to organize, so I am enticing her to help me by helping her to make a couple of scrapbooks. All she has to bring are the pictures, I have all the rest and then some. So I am hoping that it will help me to get my rear in gear and start finishing some of the projects that are half done. So b4 too long, I will post some pictures, and show a few finished projects....thanks for stopping by.

Husband update...

Just want to thank everyone for all your thoughts and prayers...Benny came home Wednesday night after 2 weeks in the hospital. He is recuperating at home but I really have to get back to work on Monday after 2 weeks off myself. I have been eyeing all the message boards and have found some great blogs with so many ideas, my head is spinning. Can't wait to get my heart and soul back into doing what I love to do! Going to start out with some cardmaking and since spring is almost here, I want to use my Flower Soft, I have great spring colors...hugs to all of you!

Happening News...

Hi, sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. Benny [my husband] got so sick on Feb. 18th, that I took him to the hospital emergency room. He almost didn't make it, had to have emergency surgery and today, still in the hospital, but doing so much better. So many people were praying for him that God did what He does best. I have been so busy going back and forth to the hospital that I have not had time to play with my new carts. Did end up getting Batman and Superman, just not sure how I want to use them yet. There is just too much going on in my head right now.
I did finally see one of my older grandson's [he just turned 21] on Saturday and gave him the scrapbook I had made for him a couple of years ago, and he was really touched and told me that he would keep it forever. Made me feel pretty good. Almost done with the 18 year olds and have started 2 more [10 grandkids in all]. But there is no excuse because I believe that I have all the carts out...dred the 20+ I here are coming out this year...UGH!!! LOL

Thanks for checking out my blog.
