Its been way too long....
It's been way to long since I've popped in.
Life doesn't seem to want to give me a break. First Dad got really sick. Then my mom on top of that. Now in the process of a divorce....Haven't scrapbooked in about 4 years :(
But the boys and I are doing well. My youngest Graduates this year from HS, he is on the Honor Roll, that happened w/in months of husband not being here. My oldest will be working in the local school district. Then we adopted to kittens. They have brought laughter and fun into the house :)  I'm sure there are many here who are new. I am hoping some are still here that were years ago!

Re: Its been way too long....
Welcome Back!!! Hopefully life will slow down for you and let you come back here more often. As you know there is so much inspriation, that hopefully you can start scrapping again. I'm sorry to hear about all the troubles, but very happy to hear the boys are so successful and that you adopted some furbabies. I hope the fun and laughter continue for you and the boys.

I did bring a majority of my supplies up from the basement. In process of organizing. The challenges on the board get me going. Life will get better, actually the nite I had him arrested, and w/in the week, the boys n I were happier. Its back to work I go.

Christine, it is good to see you again! 

Life throws curve balls at us at times.  I always try to remember God will never allow me to go through things I cannot handle.  I know He is standing by your side to get you through this time!

The kittens are too cute!

Re: Its been way too long....
So far the boys and I are holding up. I never in my life thought that being strong was so tiring!  I may fall down, but then I realize I have to stand right back up. My boys have been my biggest support thru all this. 

I need to get a lot of pics printed out. I need them done! New memories to scrap.

Hi! Good to see you, although I'm sorry for what you are going through. I haven't been around much either...life here too lol. And I just got home from 1 1/2 weeks in Florida immediately followed by a week in Missouri, immediately followed by a week at the campground with the hubs! I too am hoping to get scrapping again. And I gotta tell you....my boys blossomed as well after my divorce...it was so much calmer at home! HOpe we can both get productive in our scrappy lives again!

I'm sorry you've been going through so many tough things.
It sounds like you're on a good path now and have great kids.
Those kittens are adorable!!
I hope you'll be able to be here at ACOT more now and will have a chance to get back into scrapbooking.
