Well it's been a couple months since my last post, but alot has happened since then, and I'm hoping to be a more diligent blogger this year. I haven't been blogging lately, because I haven't been making anything lately. The reason for my lack of creativity is because at the end of November my husband and I separated and then just a few days later my brother passed away unexpectedly. The seperation from my husband was for the best, but I've been having a really hard time with my brother's death. We were very close and I really, really miss him. Add to all that the stress and busyness of the holidays and I just didn't have the time of desire to do anything creative.
Luckily for me, I had done lots of card making before all the stress and trauma happened, so when I was called and asked if I wanted a table at the Christmas Farmer's Market, I had enough stock that I was able to do it without having to make anything else. I also had a few customers that came by and literally cleaned me out of all the rest of my stock that I had on hand, so I currently only have about 5 cards, and I had over 200 at the beginning of November!
I have finally felt the desire to start creating again, so I just finished making 58 wedding invitations, a couple days ago, and I am now ready to start restocking my card inventory. I will be making lots of thank you cards first since my mom, my sister and I all need them for all the food, flowers, help and other things that we got at the time of my brother's death. I'll try to post the cards as I get them made.
Hope everyone has had a happy holiday season and a great New Year! :)

Even if it is for the best..it is still stressful. Did you know DH and I seperated a year ago??
I am glad you are getting creative again. I look forward to seeing you next lot of cards. Go you for selling all but 5!!
Julia, I didn't know that about you and your dh, but I think of you often since I know that we were in similar situations and I've often wondered how you were doing. I hope you are doing well and just know that I care about you and think of you often with fondness. ((hugs))
