I’m Back!

First of all, Happy 4th of July! For those of you in the US, enjoy the holiday and please be safe around any fireworks. One of my dogs is a Nervous Nelly and does not appreciate fireworks. He will be spending the evening in his crate, wearing his thunder-shirt. The other dog does not care and will be chilling on the couch.

I’m so sorry to start a blog and disappear. I had some family issues that required my undivided attention and, now that they are resolved, I feel I can devote my energy to the blog again.

Without burdening you with a lot of details, my mother has dementia. I was her conservator for about 18 months, but it wasn’t working out. She wasn’t happy, I wasn’t happy, and all the stress was sending my blood pressure through the roof. For the first time in my life, I felt my age. Have you ever felt so stressed that the notification chime on your phone made your stomach clench? That’s where I was. Being creative was out of the question.

So, for both our sakes, I stepped aside and my sister took over. I made some changes to limit the stress in my life and now, a few months later, I feel like myself again. I’m back to being creative, which feels SO good.

I’ll post some of my recent cards tomorrow or Saturday, so you can see what I’ve been up to lately.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wondering evening!
