Been missing in action...

Hello everyone, so sorry that I have been MIA.

My dad has been battling cancer for some time now, but unfortunately the cancer has now taken the lead. Dad has been a real fighter throughout this whole terrible experience. Today my dad finally gave in to having HOSPICE come in.

I want to thank everyone for all your kind words and prayers. They have really meant alot to me.

I am sooooo grateful that I found scrapping (and my favorite mini albums) just a few months ago. It has been my therapy.

It is September 3rd and I am putting my final touches on my GGS August Swap. I have e-mailed Stephanie B. to let her know that (due to the holiday) I will be putting it in the mail to her on Tuesday.

I don't know what the next month is going to bring.......so, I have let Marion at GGS, Bona and Arlene at DSC and Kathryn at Life on the Scrapbeach that I will not be swapping for the month of September. I hope to be back in full swing in October.

I will post pictures of my mini for Stephanie as soon as I mail it. Thanks again everyone. I love all of you. ~Brenda

Take a 4 minute breather for yourself...

Hello my friends...

For those of you who do not know, my best friends, my mother and my father are BOTH going through some serious health issues. It is both emotionally and physically exhausting. I try to stay very positive. I do affirmations everyday and I keep a gratitude journal. Both have helped a great deal. This morning on Youtube there was a quick 4 minute relaxing up beat video. I strongly suggest everyone take a 4 minute breather and watch this video. ~Brenda

slide show - GGS July Trade album

I need 5 more hours to every day and 2 more days of the week (with the rest of the world standing still in time). Here is a slide show of my July GGS trade album that I made for Melanie. Hope she likes it.

GGS - July Trade Album Done...

Just finished my trade album for the Girls Gone Scrappy Club for the month of July. The album is going to Melanie. Members of the GGS will remember, Melanie has been in the hospital. I contacted Marion to try to get an update on her condition, but she didn't know either. I will include a note with the album and ask her to give us an update on her health. If she responds, I will forward the info.

I will take and post pictures tomorrow.

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be away for a few days. Will be enjoying the holiday in Block Island on our boat. No internet. :(

Happy 4th of July to everyone.
