Do I need to buy a few things? Checking in...Moving into the area...hope this make someone smile today!

Good morning and hello to all! Just wanted to shout out that I will soon be planting my feet in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area near the end of June - yes, this month (shouting WhooHoooooo!!!, (as I hold up my white flag ~surrendering while embracing THIS journey.) lol. 

Who knew it would be so much "crazy" involved in reinventing oneself, new life; new beginning, selling your home AND moving to another state AND before I hit being 1/2 century old!! Whew!! I am exhausted; at times overwhelmed but am oh so excited! During this season, of my life, GOD has really been showing out! (The opposition has too but you know, GOD RULES!!) Lots of good changes coming but how many of us have experienced CHAOS before the BLESSING?!!! : ) Now moving forward to the crafty/creative talk....

So since I have pretty much packed up EVERYTHING, I am going through withdrawals of not being able to see & utilize "MY STUFF" for over a month now!  I feel like I just need to go to the store and get some traveling crafty items (at least some paint, paper, scissors,colored pencils, etc.) Does that sound crazy or what? My Ultimate Crafter's Companion is in one of these boxes. Does anyone else have one of these?

 I see, I will be just in time for the Stamp Scrap Art Tour (July 11th - July 12th, 2015) & Art of the Carolina's (November 13th-15th, 2015), I can't wait ! Hopefully I can meet up with some folks & plan to meet up at one of these events or otherwise. Until later and Continue To Be Exceedingly Blessed!

Life changes!

Hello Hello Hello! I feel so awful!! I have not been dedicated to this blog like I was suppose to. Life happens I guess. Sugah is now almost 2 years old (October 2015)!! I know; time flies! : ) I have a granddaughter (Gianna Noel- born February 2015)!! She is so gorgeous. I love her to the moon and back! Because of work/life schedules and with the relationship strain between my daughter-in-law and I....I don't get to see her a lot. One day, MAYBE, she won't hold so much against me and make me feel some kind of way. I don't believe in having a tug of war with children. Until then....moving forward. I will leave that situation in God's hands.

On moving forward....My children have very blessed grown up lives and now it's time for me to move forward too. I am in the process of moving from where I am to another state!! So, yes, that means selling my house. Honestly, I think it's more work to sell your home than to purchase one. lol. Stressfull!! I am on the last end now. Just waiting for the title part to clear and then it's closing time! WhooHoo! This whole process has been exciting, on edge, hurry up then wait, melancholy, to OMG what am I doing to...I am really starting my life over somewhere else (WhooHoo) to I am really starting my life over somewhere else? LOL. All mixed up, right?

Through it all...in trying to keep my emotions at bay, I know that God is in control of it all. Overall, I trust HIM and where he is leading me. My siblings and parents (though we all live in different states from one another) have been very encouraging in this move. Oh and one of my BFF's, Lisa, has been awesome! Well, that's all I have for now. Continue to be exceedingly blessed and we'll talk soon!
