Sunshine!!! Yippee!!

   Sunshine is a wonderful thing and I am very very happy that the SUN is shining brightly and that the storm has finally moved one. Now, I HOPE it will start to dry up and feel terrible for all the people who have been affected so badly by all the flooding...it's simply awful. We have two sump pumps going in the basement, but we still have some flooding, about 2" of water, but hopefully once the ground water level goes back down, it'll be fine. Luckily, we know to put things up and have sadly been through this before...! The warm sunshine that we are expecting for the next several days will do us ALL a world of good!! :)
....On an even happier note,  I started my newest "Copic Coloring Class" yesterday at Suzanne Dean's New -- Color Me Classroom and it's fantastic. There is so much information in each of these class levels and everything for me is new and full of great details and videos. Woohoo!  
    I also had another very LUCKY DAY yesterday and won a "Door Prize" in her first LIVE CHAT in the Main Classroom. I was the lucky winner for a $25 Gift Certificate to Magnolia-Licious, one of my favorite stores and also one of my favorite blogs.  I had completed their blog hop earlier in that morning, so it was a wonderful surprise to win a gift certificate to the store on the very same day!  YIPPEE!!!
  Today, I am already practicing coloring and have printed out a ton of resource files from my Level II Class. I can tell already that this is gong to be so wonderful for me and I even went back this morning and enrolled in the Level 1 class too. I just do NOT want to miss anything and I LOVE my Copics and because I have invested so much in them, it's so worth taking all these fabulous classes. It's also exciting for me, since Suzanne has always been one of my favorite designers and I LOVE her work!
  I'm off now to work on some more coloring and also to starting thinking about what I want to create and send off to my "Secret Sister" from the Simply Scrapping Crafts Challenge group. I think this too, is going to be a lot of fun and this is the first time I've ever been involved in a "Secret Sister" Group.   I'm excited to get started and want to thank Christy again for this wonderful idea!!

....Off to color, create and craft.....have a wonderful day!!

Yes! I did and I was very excited! YIPPEE!!
And YES, I absolutely am LOVING my classes. I have fallen in LOVE with Crafting and ART and if I could ever go back and start over in life, and not end up with Fibro, I would go to ART School and taken a totally different path in life!

Live and Learn! Now, it's simply a DREAM!!

Hi Lisa! Sorry to hear about all the flooding. The weather is definitely being relentless this year. Congratulations on your second win! You deserve it. That secret sister group sounds interesting.

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".
