I'm Backkkkk!!!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry for such a long absence. Life has kicked my butt these past couple of months with many different changes going on and almost no creativity which means nothing much to blog about. I have been around lurking, however, and still gleaning much inspiration from all of you.

Here's a tiny recap of what's been happening in my life since January:



I got a job! Yep, I'm back among the working. This time I'm in a doctor's office in my hometown. I really like it. It's a small practice and my experience and background in the medical field suits this job to a T. It feels really good to be working again. I was getting bored and depressed sitting around the house all day. And having the extra money is great too!



My baby boy now officially belongs to Uncle Sam. *sigh* He left for Air Force Basic Training last week in San Antonio, Texas. I worry myself silly about him, but am so proud of his decision to join the military. It's not something I would have ever thought he would do, but he was really excited about it, so I hope it works out well for him. I am already planning my trip to San Antonio in May to see his graduation. I cannot wait!!



Meet the newest member of our family - Mia! She is a 9 week old Yorkie and boy, is she a handful! So full of puppy energy! Our other Yorkie, Sophie, is not very fond of her new sister, but I'm hoping over time, that will change. I forgot how hard it is to potty train a new puppy! Shew, I am about worn out with her!! But we love her already and she makes us laugh with her funny little puppy antics every day.

I made an awesomely cute wreath for Valentine's Day, but I haven't downloaded any pics of it yet so I will share it with you in a future post. Other than that, I haven't had the time or energy to create much else these past few months.

It feels good to be back in blogland!!!

Until next time. . .

The Winner Is. . .

I want to thank all of y'all who entered my 400 followers giveaway! I can't believe I have surpassed 400 followers! I wish I could give each of you a gift card, but since I am currently unemployed, that ain't gonna happen! LOL! You all inspire me so much with your creativity and for that, I thank you. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get on here yesterday and announce the winner like I had planned. I had a lot going on and just didn't get time to do it. So, without further ado, the winner of the $50 Visa gift card is. . .

Congrats to Kathy!! If you will get me your mailing info, I'll get your prize out to you as soon as possible.

I have a few small projects I'm working on right now that I hope to share with y'all this week as well as some tweaking I've done on some wall groupings in my living room that I plan to share if the weather will cooperate and allow me to get some decent pictures of. So I hope you will check back in for all that. Have a great Sunday!!

Until next time. . .
