Good morning, friends!

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. With all that has been going on, I just haven't had the desire, you know? Things are better and I thank you so much for your prayers. My sister and her kids are hanging in there.

I've been busy getting ready for Inspired! I can't believe in two weeks I'll be teaching my first class of the day. It seems like it takes forever for the event to get here, then when it gets close I feel like I still have so much to do! :) The last three ribbons arrived via UPS yesterday...yay! So this weekend I'll be sitting and cutting ribbon, bagging 300 kits with their final items, and hopefully shipping everything to Donna on Monday or Tuesday! It's always such a relief to get those boxes out of here and know they are on their way to NC. I'm almost finished with my door sign/canvas as well. Last year I made a bunch of door prizes to give out in my classes. I just don't know if I'll have time this year. :( That makes me sad but I know everyone will understand if I don't get them done.

The photo above is of one of the projects I'll be teaching at Scrapadoodle in June. I hope you can come join me for this fun weekend retreat!

On Sunday my baby boy turns 9 years old. I can't believe it! Tonight he is having 5 boys over for a Super Mario Bros. themed sleepover. Pizza and ice cream cake, popcorn and m&m's for late night snacks, and lots of video games, light saber fights, and body sound jokes. I plan on taking lots of photos and video. :)

Thank you for reading my blog. I'm glad you are still here!

Happy Birthday, Noah! Can't believe our boys are turning 9 (Mark will be 9 in June). Seems like just yesterday they were babies!

Jennifer,
I am a little behind on my blog reading and just read about your sister's husband. Oh. my. goodness. I am sooo sorry to hear that. I know your sister and her sweet children are walking through such a hard time right now. I will keep her and your whole family in my prayers. May ya'll all feel God's arms wrapped a little more tightly around you during the next weeks and months. Lots of love to you!

Best wishes for your family.

Congrats on the upcoming birthday too, it is a special anniversary for you the mom.

Good luck with the Inspired workshop, it would be my dream to attend that type of event one day, we are so limited in our area and appreciate all the bloggers who make so much available over the internet.
