Moving update

I know that several of you are wondering what the heck is going on at my house right now. Me too....:o)
After much deliberation and schedule balancing and soul searching and prayer, I have decided to relocate my family to Arizona. My family is all there so it only makes sense that we go there. It is a bittersweet thing for me because I really love it here! I have made such wonderful friends! If it weren't for my children, I would stay. But, I am a mom, first and fore most and must do what is best for the kids. Don't get me wrong, I will love being close to my family as well. They are wonderful!
Our estimated date of departure is June 18th. That is not written in stone, but more of a goal. The kids have music and scout camps so we are planning to stay for those and then take off. We will hurry to Arizona and try to get our home set up a bit before my oldest daughter comes home. She has been at an adventure camp in Utah for two weeks, trying to work through some of her issues. I am missing her terribly. Talk about tough love..it was the hardest thing in the world for me to send her off, but I really believe it was the best thing for her. She was heading down a path that led to no good. Any prayers you can send her way would be greatly appreciated!
I will keep you all updated as to when we actually depart Florida. Oh, and watch for a big yard sale notification! I have WAY too much stuff in this house! Our new house is a bit smaller so I need to down size a bit.
I will be keeping up with my blog as I go along and hope to be able to share lots more creative art and organizing with you all.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day! Special thanks to all the wonderful people in the service of our country. WE honor you today.

Wishing you well for your big move. It will be quite a difference moving to the desert! :) But, hey you're moving closer to me, so I can't complain. I'll continue to pray for your family during this next step and hope it all goes smoothly for all of you. I get dibs on the Cricut, heeheee! I'm kidding.

Hey Beckie...
Lot's of thoughts and prayers for you and your family as you go through some major life changes. I'm glad you are coming to Arizona. I know your family will be huge support for you. What area are you moving to? I'd love to come to your Stampin' Up classes if you end up in the East Valley! :) Gayle Moore

I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers! I know that had to be very difficult, but sometimes the most difficult things are the best for us!

Good luck on the move and packing bit. I am glad that you will be by your family.

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
