Back to some kind of normalcy...

So my dear friends, you might (or might not) have noticed my absence and I usually just quickly scan my blogger friends' explanation of long absences, so I'll be quick here just for those who might be curious.  For the past 4-5 months I've been flying back and forth from Arizona to California to empty out my childhood home (after the death of my Mother two years ago) and get it sold.  HUGE job...many tears, backaches, headaches, dilemmas and difficult decisions, but it's done, and sold.   Back to my own life...and my crafting happiness.  I've got some gorgeous Graphic45 paper to play with, a daughter's birthday card to craft this week and lots of scrapbooking to catch up on.  So glad to be back!

Here's just a photo of one room before and after.....from this
