Guess what?

    It's been well over a year, probably closer to 18 months, since I have created anything in my craft room.  WOW!!   But, lately, I have started to realize how much I miss making cards, especially this week, after spending $10 on two cars that I didn't even like!  Yikes!!    I had so many cards on hand a one time, and loved sending them to my family and friends -- my supply is pretty much gone.            I've also really missing creating, but had lost all my Mojo and also was often too exhausted to be able to focus well on making cards.  But, I'm going to give it a  try and see how I can do with what i still have left in my stash.         I was very happy to create these two cards and I admit, the are both very simple and basic.  I also do not have any "current" or "new" stamps or supplies, so I am using favorites that I just was never able to give up.   Luckily, I still have quite a bit and it feels nice to put some of my "goodies" to use again.          I decided to start by looking for a Challenge as my inspiration and hopped on over to the a2z Scrapbooking Blog, where I found the challenge for May is "Sentiment Focus" which as just the inspiration I needed to make two Birthday Cards.   I knew that I wanted to use one of my favorite "Hero Arts Stamps", so this challenge was perfect for me.   

     Hope to be back more and more and to slowly build up my skill again and also a nice supply for cards for my friends and family.

     Before I go, I also want to share a new picture of my little "Harper Leigh" who is such a LOVE in my life.    I hope to start babysitting for her from time to time, once Acacia returns to work.  This picture was taken last weekend, while she was "playing" in her new activity center.  She is such a sweetie and I love and savor every moment I have with her!   

      

   Hope to see you all more often and really hope I can continue to create and once again enjoy the hobby I so loved!!!  Wish me luck!!

 PS:  As for my Cancer Battle -- my latest CT Scan in March showed that I am currently NED (No Evidence of Disease) which was awesome news.   I will be re-scanned at the end of June and for now remain "Off Treatment".   It is very exciting to be NED once again, however, I have been here before and found it to be very short lived (my lung tumor was back only three months later, and was even more aggressive).  This time, I hope the Immunotherapy treatments will give me a much better and longer chance of staying NED for the long term.   As always I still HOPE we will find a cure for Stage IV Metastatic Cancer!  Until that day, I'm taking One Day at Time!!
