I hope everyone is having a good day! We got up early to go to a sunrise service at a friend's church, and then stayed for breakfast. It was nice. I think next week, we are going to go and try out the church. We are looking for a church at this point. My husband has been working weekends 3rd shift for about a year now so we haven't been going to church. Right now he has weekends off so this is nice.
April 24, I am having surgery on my right wrist for carpal tunnel. I will be off work for 2 weeks to recuperate then light duty for awhile. I won't be able to lift the kids for awhile I have been told. Actually, I am looking forward to a 2 week "vacation".
I have been busy working on several card and ATC exchanges so I can have them done by April 24. Yesterday, I got ALOT done at my friend's house and that idea has become a reality. When they are finished, I will scan them on here.
I hope all has a good and wonderful Easter.
Love you all!!

Another picture
These are some new family pictures. One is of Missy, our new dog. We got her in the summer from a family member. She is quite a ham and thinks she is the princess of the house. But our cat lets her know she's not. After a rough first week or two between her and our other dog, they are now buddies. We see them laying together, kissing each other and playing.
The other picture is a recent snowfall about 2-3 weeks ago...a rare thing in the south. James and I took Thomas out there to experience. Needless to say, he was not too thrilled. Thomas will be 15 in May. Can you believe it!!! And look how tall he is!!
Promised Pictures
This picture is a card I made a couple months ago using an oriental stamp I had. What you can't tell by the picture is that the piece under the stamped image is mirror cardstock. This is becoming one of my favorite stamps at the moment. My mom got me this stamp along with about 15 others. She went into her local craft store and they had a bin of stamps for $2.00. Most of thes tamps in the bin were retail $10-$15. What a bargain she got and I added alot of stamps to my collection as did she.

Update
Ok....Finally I find the time to update! As you may have noticed, I changed the colors and style on my blog. I thought it was a time for a change....this is lighter and Spring like.
In october, we went from 3 animals to 4. We added a cat which we adopted from our vet. Her name is Freckles and she came with quite a past. She came from a home with 31 other cats. Yes, you read right! Her owner anonymously left all the cats at different vet offices with a note that said "I am dying of cancer and do not have time to find homes for my babies". How sad! She left all their health info and they were well taken care of. I read the article in the paper and we decided to go take a look and came home with her. Our other cat did not like her at all. In February, Freckles got out and we have not seen her since. She was never happy here and was always crying. I feel sad but she is such a friendly, loving cat that I think she will be taken in by a lovely family. I pray that God leads her to the house/family that is best for her. We looked for her and did what we could.
In November, Spikee, my other cat, got out. She is strictly an indoor cat with no front claws. I had gotten her before I met my husband so she is special to me. We searched for her. 3 weeks later, she came home. She was dehydrated, very skinny, a fever and an open wound with infection. We went to the vets and after a week, improved greatly. She is now back to normal.
Today, we watched snow fall in Alabama and accumulated about 5 inches. We took Thomas out in it and I got some pictures which I will put on here once I get the photo CD loaded on my computer. I am not a big fan of snow but I wanted to get pictures of Thomas in it. I did get some nice pictures.
Life for me has been busy. We just celebrated our 5th anniversary. Man, where has the time gone? Thomas will be 15 in May and he is about an inch taller than me. I am trying to organize the 3rd bedroom as a craft/office/spare room. Some days I am really motivated and other days I am not. It has been a SLOW process. I think I could get so much more crafting done if my stuff was more organized.
I started going to a Women's Bible Study at a local church. I do not go to the church. My assistant does. I thought I would try the Bible Study and really enjoy it. We finished up one study and are starting a new one now. The new one looks like it is going to be really good. I take Thomas and he stays in the nursery part and seems to like it. I am learning so much. I have asked James to get me a new Bible for my birthday because mine is falling completely apart. Even though I love it and have so much written in it because I have had it for over 20 years, I think it is time for a change. But, I am going to get the same Bible but a leather cover instead of hard cover. I may get it in the next couple weeks even though my birthday is at the end of the month.
For our anniversary, my mom made us a beautiful scrapbooked album which will be an ongoing process as more pictures will be added. I have never done my photo album. I just stuck some pictures in an album just to protect them. I have all the pictures on CD and loaded them on the computer. But, I love the album she made and have been showing it to everyone.
Not much else to report. Hopefully, I will get some pictures on here soon. Thank you for staying with me and this blog.

HALLELUJAH!!!! I am back
You read right....my computer is working again!! It went down about 2 months ago and I needed my recovery CD. I have moved 2 times since purchasing the computer so I had no idea where it was. My husband and I searched boxes. I even contacted Gateway about purchasing a new one. That was a nightmare....there customer service is awful!!!!! But it is partly my fault for misplacing the Cd. Today, I felt like I was soooo close to it and guess what? I was right!!! So now I am trying to catch up on facebook and groups. I was going to the library but they won't let you go to social sites.
There is so much to tell everyone so I will update more this weekend when I have the time to sit down and just write.

Just a thought
First off, I want to thank everyone who called me or e-mailed me while my husband was in the hospital. It showed me who my friends really are....the ones I can still rely on when hard times come.
I have had alot of disappointments this week and it is only Tuesday!! I won't go in to details but I have been disappointed by my husband, a friend, and life, in general. I need to figure what in my life is important to me...what should I weed out. This is a process I need to think about and pray about.
This past weekend I went to the arts and crafts thing at the Old Lowe's Building. It was small but this is its first time. They will ahve it in April and November again. I am planning on having a table at tthe April one. I am going to sell Avon, Gifts in a Jar and some things I can make quite easily. I will show pictures as I get things done.
I hope to get my camera's program loaded on my husband's computer so that I can post some more pics on here. I have some Christmas cards I made, the new cat and the new dog that have not been posted yet.
This is short and sweet but maybe next time I will have more to say. Thanks for reading.
