The first post after an unintended break is so hard! This is attempt #5 and no matter how much I sound like a blathering fool I’m keeping it, otherwise this cycle can go on forever.

I was going to put all in one large post - but I’m thinking now it’s better to break them up a bit.

I’m once again participating in the ABC along - it was so much fun the first time a couple of years ago. This time I’m actually going to make it all the way through! Don’t let my lack of starting fool you. The first two letters are done and just need posting.

I think I was battling a bat of depression. With all that’s been going on that totally makes sense - but still does not make it any fun. I just needed to totally disconnect for a bit and I really did not mean to leave anyone hanging.

Christmas was wonderful! I’ve not gone back and read exactly what I wrote on that last post but I think I must have left out some details from the few emails I received. The kids and I were secret santa’s for a couple of local families in need. One was starting life over with nothing and ready to be released from a shelter right before the holidays and the other had just lost everything due to fire. That was the reason for the burnout :) We had two solid weeks of madness here making, buying, shopping, and scheming.

The other day this was just to much for me

“Mark all as Read” I did indeed do. So if you posted something that I really should have not missed in the past few weeks can you please let me know. The last couple of days I’m still trying to catch up on.

My inbox is just as scary and I’m still weeding my way through that too.

And because every post should have a bit of craftiness in in it. Here’s what has been taking every available moment lately.

My Loopy Ewe swap project that has to be sent in a couple of more weeks.

Thanks all for sticking by :)

Now I’m off to attempt to catch up on what all you have been doing :)
