CLOSE TO MY HEART
Dear Margit,

Hi there,


It is May! Spring is springing in all kinds of different places. Here in Florida, we have had spring for a while now! Hopefully, in your neck of the woods, you are warming up as well. I just want to wish all the mothers - Happy Mother's Day! Although, my mother has passed on - I always remember her. She will always be a part of me. She has been my best friend and taught me so much. All I can hope for is that I can share just a little bit of that with others, her kindness, her selflessness, her happiness, her love for others. So, if you still have a mother - do not forget to hug her! Do it for me, thanks!

Of course, towards the end of the month, we will remember those who fought for our freedom - I married one of those soldiers. I stood by his side for 36 years as he served. He is retired now, missing a little bit of himself. His heart grew by quite a bit - you cannot help yourself, going through the things these soldiers go through as they are on the battle field. Yes, we will remember them and give our thanks.


In the meantime:

Here are some great links for you to check out at any time to see some great tutorials, videos and other hints and tips!


I keep updating it on a regular basis, follow me, share it with your friends! My life is still going nuts, but I have figured out - being creative helps :)

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

This is my first attempt on a blog - can you tell? I am sure you can. From what I have learned about blogs they are like an online journal and you are getting a peak into my soul ...

At this time I am trying to learn how to post my artwork with watermark and copyright and all that jazz -but I a, learning. My plan is to post my work and along with it I will explain what I used and how I made the project.

As we go along, I will also give you a peak into my life. I will share some pictures of my family, places we have been, places we have visited. So, please come back and visit often. Just know, that I am very new to this blogging thing! So, at this time - any help you can give me is highly appreciated in growing my skills in "blogging".

If you live close to me and you would like to join me in my craft place or one my crops please, check my calendar for any upcoming workshops!

A scrapbooker's quilting bee!
