I seem to have gone missing in blog land. I cannot tell you that things will pick up anytime soon, but I do promise to blog more than 1 time per 6 months. :) Where to begin and how to keep it short and sweet.
My dad got sick and wasn't getting any better. Long story short, he had a stroke during a simple eye surgery. I spent a lot of time at my parents house over the summer and just after school started. Praise the Lord. My dad is recovering. Slowly, but recovering non the less.
I have not shared tons about my private life. Again long story short, my husband and I have been trying to have #3 for about 3 1/2 years. We had 2 back to back summers of heart break when I miscarried. Again, to God be the glory, I am pregnant. The baby and I are doing well. Well, mom is experiencing some serious pregnancy sickness, but it is nothing earth shattering or that won't go away after the birth of our 3rd. I am due mid-May with a little boy. We are working on a name, but so far he is nameless.
Oh, and we bought 10 acres at the beginning of 2011. We are starting construction on our house in February of 2012. We are putting the final touches on the floor plans the next 2 weeks.
So, not only have I not been blogging. I haven't been doing ANY crafting. Blasphemy!!! :) In fact, I haven't bought anything since June until I put in an order during PTI's December release.
I have been keeping up with my Project 365. So, I thought I would share my November title page from my 2011 book. Yes, it is all complete except the 21st to the 28th and the 29th to the 31st.
I am sorry for the unexpected absence. But let's hope the new year will bring me some much needed crafting therapy. I miss making cards more than words can express. It is like a salve to my soul.
Congratulations on the newest member of your family. You know, sometimes we just need to take a break from blogging and crafting and take care of other parts of our life. For me it seems to be very cyclical. And I've come to be okay with that. Hope the morning sickness clears up soon! :)
