I have never been a person who wears shoes all the time, particularly in the home.  I live with my youngest daughter and her husband now in Mesa, Az. and work at UPS store 4990 in Scottsdale. Rebecca has 4 kitties who are great scorpion hunters...in the home.  The three of us were visiting in the living room and playing with the kids.  I am relaxed in Jerry's chair.  I happened to look down where baby Boo and Esme are playing, when i realize a rather large scorpion is tearing across the rug.  Boo being curious is trying to check it out, while it is trying to attach itself to her.  Did you realize cats are not allergic to scorpions?  I yell "SCORPION, SCORPION, SCORPION" and quickly raise my feet off the floor.  Brandon came and squished him, flushing it down the toilet.  Okay, from now on I wear my shoes in the house.  AT ALL TIMES!  Except this morn when I had to go to the bathroom and wasn't awake until I was IN the bathroom.

In Mesa, Az. getting ready to paint my bedroom this week, before new bedroom/craft room furniture arrives.  Am looking forward to organization and becoming creative again.  The death of our son whipped us all into another world, one we don't particularly like.  In time we will adjust.  So many trials in the last several years, it is just hard.
Perhaps that is why creativity has to happen again, to forget?
May all your lives go on, doing the best you/we can all do.
Here we are, show us why we are here God.  I always loved to teach scrapbooking and card making.  One wonderful store here, looks like maybe I could help them...if not there are others.  Daughter Rebecca had tried to get me started again, when I first moved down here, it must be time. May everyones day go well.

Lupe Martinez made the flower, isn't it wonderful?  She sells them quite reasonably.  Ruth made the card for a sweet girl.  I have been working on my 8 cards for $15 class at the store, had best get back.  Have a great day.

Hello, I have designed another white on white card for a dear friend who lost her mom this past week.  I used several Cuttlebug embossing folders and Sizzix dies to cut the flowers.  Hope you like the design.  I use white on white for all kinds of cards.  If you want dimensions, please let me know.  Thank you
