Back into Stamping!

Hello stamping world!! Since moving to Florida and working full time, I have not been on here at all!!!! I have been crafting here and there, maing things for all my new co-workers and friends, and of course for my kids and their teachers. I will be doing a fall craft sale at my children's school next weekend and will be sharing with you all the cute little things that I am busily preparing for it!

Update on Stamping Nurse

Well, as you all can see this Stamping Nurse hasn't been stamping lately!! I have been filling in at the Dr's office, but his nurse is back to work now. I have also been filling in at the Nursing Home on night shift, which has left me terribly tired all of the time. And I am now going to be babysitting for my little niece during the day soon! I am so excited to have a baby joining us soon!

Along with all of this I have been diganosed with Fibomyalgia. So I have been trying to take care of my health and get to feeling better, but it has been tough.

The children and I are also all in the Christmas play again this year, so we are busy with practices all the time.

And my oldest child, who just turned 11 yesterday, came down with the swine flu last week! So I've been busy taking care of him and my husband who also had the flu.

So as you can see, we've been busy! I am so sorry that I've been neglecting all my stamping duties, but I have also decided to not be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator anymore. I just have way too many things on my plate at this time, and I couldn't keep up with all of the current SU rules!

So I will be returning to my blogging this week, and you will see many changes on my blog, but I will be back! I will be sharing with you all of my crafting, stamping, crocheting, scrapbooking things that I have been making. I have been busy getting ready for the upcoming holiday season and can't wait to share all my projects with you all! But they will be made with a variety of products, I will no longer be a SU only blog! I am enjoying using lots of different companies things! Plus using up all of my SU stash that I have accumulated, most of it will be retired items!

Happy Stamping with you all soon!

Busy, busy, busy

So sorry to you all who have been reading my blog. I have been a bad blogger lately. We just have been really busy, and I have been back to work, so not a lot of time for stamping and blogging! The kids have all started school today. And I have been filling in for the nurse at our dr's office for a little while. I am hoping to be back to my blogging and stamping soon! I miss you all!

Family News

Here is a picture of my baby, Joshua. He turned 4 years old yesterday~!! How is that possible? Here he is during his "schoolwork" while the other kids are doing their work. I just love how he takes his coloring in front of the pellet stove so that he is warm while he is "working"! Of course, this picture was taken about a month ago when it was still really cold. We had a small family party yesterday with cupcakes. And he will be having his Lightning McQueen party on Saturday complete with a Lightning McQueen cake, balloons, and of course ice cream too!

On other family news, I got a part time job yesterday. Unfortunately, my husband's business isn't going as well as they had hoped, and they aren't having a lot of money come in like they were. So I have decided to go back to work per diem at the local nursing home. I will be working day shift every Sunday, and then fill in on night shift during the week as needed. Along with doing some Stamping Classes each month. And my Jewelry Shows that I am really enjoying!! (I had signed up underneath my sister to sell Premier Designs Jewelry while we were on vacation in Florida).

Along with all of this, I still have all 3 of the kids home homeschooling. And we have weekly dance lessons. Plus my oldest son Kyle will be starting baseball again soon. Busy, busy, busy!!!

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep up doing all of this, but we'll get through it somehow I suppose, we always do. I don't know how my mother managed to work night shift all of those years while raising 5 of us kids!

Oh, and I am also taking classes online to get my RN degree. As if I needed more stress in my life. Please pray that I survive all of this!!!!!
