A wonderful Wednesday....

  Today, is turning out to be a wonderful day.   I started the day with having to head to a doctor's appointment, YUK, and then run a couple of errands.  Luckily, I did end my little trip with a little pampering, by having my nails done, which was nice.   I am now back and ready to craft and started by catching up on my morning emails.

  Imagine my excitement when I found a wonderful email from my friend Colleen, Congratulating me on having a card in this month's issue of the 'Through The Craftroom Door'  publication!  WOOHOO--What a wonderful surprise!  I had created a Fall themed card and submitted it to the 'Sketch 3 Ways Challenge', but never dreamed it would be picked as one that would be in the publication, but it IS!  I am so happy and can't even truly describe how lucky and blessed I feel to have one of my cards, in the Setpember issue!  WOW!!  My special thanks to Suzanne and Marti for this fabulous honor, thank you both very much.  

  Now, if you are not familiar with 'Through the Craftroom Door', it is a wonderful craft publication that is the brain child of Suzanne Dean and Marti Wills.  If you would like to subscribe to  the publication, please go HERE!

      
Suzanne and Marti are both very well known and established designers and Suzanne is also the owner and creator of the Color Me Creative Classroom, where she currently offers 4 Levels of fabulous Copic Coloring Classes.  Marti also teaches three Cricut Classes, which are also fantastic.   The classroom will continue to expand this Fall, so stay tuned for even more fun and exciting craft classes.   I totally enjoy the classes and I also have been subscribing to the 'Through the Craftroom Door' publication since it launched earlier this year!   If you visit my blog often, then you know how much I love the classes and that I write about them often.  

     I also want to say 'Congratulations' to all of the wonderful crafters who have projects featured in this month's issue.  It's jam packed full of some fabulous crafty creations, and it's clear that everyone worked very hard, my best wishes to you all.  

     Lastly, I wanted to send out extra special Congratulations to another one of my friends,  Lisa Keifer, who also has a fantastic project, published in the September issue too!   Lisa submitted a project to the 'Tools Challenge' and her binding project was the winning project!1  Yaay Lis!!!   If you are a subscriber, you'll find Lisa's wonderful book project on page twelve and you'll LOVE it.   Congratulations Lis - I am totally thrilled for you too!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
