Hi friends!
Sorry it has been so long since I did a post. Just been really busy, helping my mom. She is planning to move to North Mississippi from Arkansas to be closer to me. We have been looking at houses and trying to sell hers. She made an offer on a house and should hear back today whether or not she will get the house. I will be busy for the next few weeks helping her so I may be missing in action for a while.
Hugs,
Sharon

Hello dear friends,
Finally I am getting back into papercrafting! Until I sat down today I didn't realize how much I missed doing it! I am going to make these for my grandkids and put a candy bouquet in the basket. I will update the photo once I get the candy in it. I will do more so I plan to do a tutorial of this project this week.
Hugs and thanks for your patience with me!
Sharon

Hello Friends,
Thank you all for being so patient with me, while I have been re-grouping. I have to admit I am really struggling and have been since Kathy died. I have never dealt with this type of grief before and it has really been hard. Then I came so close to losing my mom, that was just too much for me to cope with. There have been other very difficult things that have happened as well. 2012 was one of the toughest years of my life. I know many of you have been praying for me and have sent me such encouraging emails. I believe God nudged you to write me when I most needed it. I can't tell you how many times while sitting at the hosptial or here at home caring for my mom, or during my time of grief, I would get a email and it gave me hope. It was like God reminding me, there was hope even in the midst of all that didn't make sense.
I have thought long and hard about whether or not to continue being Stampin Up Demonstrator and for a while I was leaning toward not doing it anymore. But yesterday, I decided I needed to pick myself up and get to it again. I need to get back some kind of normalcy and I was happiest when I was doing Stampin Up. I even placed an order yesterday and will get some goodies in the mail in a few days. I order from the Spring Catalog and got some Salabration freebies. If that doesn't inspire me I don't know what will!
Please continue to pray for me, because I am really still struggling but I know I have to pick myself up and carry on.
Hugs,
Sharon

Happy New Year all! I hope you all had a good holiday season. It has been so long since I made a post!
Lately, I have been doing some other things especially making jewely. After making my granddaughter's jewelry for Christmas I have been bitten by the bead bug! I think I might have an bead addiction! LOL I actually did do beadwork years ago and I loved stones and crystals and doing these have brought back my love for beads and the vibrant colors of all the beads! Many of my creations didn't make it, but here are a few made it to completion.
This necklace is made completely of Turquiose beads and copper wire, even the chain and clasp! I had so much fun making it.
This necklace has the most beautiful beads! I love the blue ones! I even used some Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon for part of the necklace.
This is a Pandora style of bracelet that I made out of some beads I bought on Ebay.
The last two bracelets are weaves and I really enjoy doing these. I hope you all like these and aren't too disappointed that these aren't paper creations. Let me know what you think!
Hugs,
Sharon
