Hi Cuties. It's been awhile since I was able to post. Have have been very busy, around this corner of the world. We have sold my mothers house and am now having to dispose of the items and go through things we want to keep as well as disperse according to her wishes. Probate takes forever in some states and that was our problem. We had done some of this when she died, as it was all out of state. I've inherited much more of the stuff than my siblings so my basement and house are jammed full. Have donated her clothing to charity, keep all her sewing, crafting, cookbooks and some kitchen items. Our church had a garage sale (perfect timing) and lots of items were taken up there as we also help the homeless/down on their luck get back on their feet. Plus with it being spring, have to mow and tend to things around here. I'm thinking I would like the almost 24 hour days of our Canadian friends. Can anyone send me a few extra hours? In this instance I'd sure like to have been twins, although I'm not sure the world is ready for that. LOL. Hopefully I can now join in again and contribute. I know I've lots of catching up to do with all I've missed. I just hope and pray everyone is doing well. Happy birthday to the wonderful ones I've missed. Most importantly I just know that all the beautiful items created and displayed on here were/are gorgeous and that everyone who received them as gifts etc., absolutely adored them! TIA for reading this missive. Hugs and flowers to all Leaha

Thanks, Chris. Yes, it is part of life. I just hope I can get through all the things in my house, it's a bit claustrophobic in here. I must share as I've been so very blessed by help and caring friends when needed. Paying it forward.

Missed you. So sorry for your loss. I can empathize with you. My mom lived on the other side of the country and I still miss her.
If I can find a spare hour or two I will share them with you.
Hugs
God bless.

Thanks, I will take whatever time/hours you can spare. I think this is something that dulls with time, yet never really goes away. Hugs, God bless you also.

Thanks, one week out of every 2 months, the parish hosts a family, everything is provided for them as they job search, meals, home etc. Every one needs help at some time and it's only fair I pay it forward in thanksgiving for all who have helped me.

If I do get some quiet moments, I'll probably just sleep them off or is that away? Thanks
