A bit of me...

I have done a bit of crafting over the holidays and hence the photo's, I have not been about much as I am struggling a bit with my state of mind so to speak. I have a very close Auntie that has been up and down with her health the past few months, and this seems to constantly on my mind. I was lucky enough to speak with all 4 of my son's Christmas day and very happy to know they are all content with where they are at in life at the moment for the most part so as a mum this takes some worry off my heart. For some reason my menopause has really been hitting full force again and my hot flushes and night sweats are wearing me out, my mood goes from high to low in a matter of seconds and I find myself in tears these days more then not. Thankfully I have a fantastic husband who stands by me no matter what and realizes that someday (hopefully soon) I will be back to the lighthearted, full of laughter, woman he married. I do want to add a Thank you to those of my friends who have supported me through all of this, and I am sorry to the ones who have chosen not to...sometimes it takes the rough patches in life to organize our relationships for us.

Its been awhile....

Wow seems like forever since I have been here and thats not good! Work is keeping me so so busy these days and I seem to just not have any me time anymore to spend crafting. :( Here are a couple layouts I have done in the past couple weeks and very soon I will be photographing my Christmas cards I have made and adding the pics here so you all can see that I have not been sitting idle on my days off.

"Upside Down" was done for a UKS weekly challange and for me to use pink is so not me but I do like the way this turned out. The photo was taken in Spain by my dh while he was there working this past September.

"Mon Fils" was also done for a weekly uks challange where we had to use french for a title which mine means.."My Sons"

"Sunset" was done for a member sketch challange 3C's. TFL :)
