I'm counting down the hours until my holiday break begins because I have a cool idea for a project. You see, ever since I was a little girl I've collected stickers. Puffy, scratch-n-sniff, irridescent, laser...they all are like jewels to me and I tend to hoard them. I still have my old sticker albums and flip through the 20+ year old pages, careful not to break the binding or lose any stickers. Well, after covering a plastic shoe box with nearly every Hello Kitty sticker I own, it dawned on me: I need a new sticker album. So, once I receive my 7Gypsies Binderie Punch I will break out my chip board and create a fabulous scrapbook/sticker album. I haven't been this excited since I purchased my first sticker album with my very own money! You can bet I'll be posting pictures...
This post has been a difficult one to write. Like so many others, the pandemic has really thrown me into a loop and brought many unexpected and unwanted changes. I left my job of over 19 years in October. The stress, frustration, and unhappiness was too much and the negativity was seeping into my off-time and basically killed any motivation I had to write or make anything. Around that same time, my sister's breast cancer returned with a vengeance and destroyed the funny, loving, energetic woman I had always known and loved. She became a fragile shell and then she was gone. My heart was still raw when my mother, the rock of our family, died unexpectely on Friday. I'm stunned. Shocked. It makes no sense. She's gone. I'm not sure what the future holds for me. I've been working in the healthcare field and I'm happy with the job but life keeps telling me how short it is and I think I need to really listen this time.
