I love Stampin' Up!

A few more projects to complete for today.     Hope you are enjoying my craft projects that I am catching up on posting.   Last February, I lost my dad to brain cancer.    It has been an eventful year, so many firsts without him.   The hardest part was watching my mom go through this journey that I already faced.   I lost my boyfriend six years ago to the same cancer.   It was the hardest thing to do was to keep moving forward when the person you use to do everything was no longer there.      I have tried to make this transition as easy as I can on my mom.    I have been by her side the entire step of the way.      

My dad has been testing me and see if I am for the challenge.    My dad was Mr. Fix it.    He built my home from scratch.    He did the structure, the masonry, the plumbing, electrical, all of it.     In the past year, we have had to replace the dryer, the roof and heating system and fix the cars, hot water tank and the air conditioning system.   I keep going come on dad!  I am handling what life is coming my way, but I could use a break.    I love creating but life has been keeping me busy so I haven't had time to post as quickly as I would have liked.  

So hopefully going forward you will see more projects coming your way.    There are so many amazing products that Stampin' Up! has brought to us.   I can't wait to sit and start scrapbooking more of the amazing photos I have captured throughout the years.   After 20 years, I have enough supplies to open my own craft store, but what I love the most is someone asking do you have ( fill in the blank )  and yes I do.    Let me go get it for you or let me create this for you.    I love being a part of Stampin' Up!   what an amazing journey it has been.    I love the friendships I have made and the people I have meet but the best part is the healing that creativity brings me.
