Hi all,

I've been working on my Facebook page and hope you will look me up there. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=100000554770986

In the coming year I hope to keep my blog more up to date and add more pictures. I like to make personalized candles for my Compassionate Friends and learning how to make vinyl decals on my Cricut. I just got a Cricut Expression to hopefully expand my horizons in crafting. I love scrapbooking but think I'll concentrate more on cardmaking this year. as you can see by my blinkie I'm a huge Papertrey Ink fan. I also have some Gina K Designs goodies but I prefer clear stamps.

playing around

there is so much to learn about this blogging stuff!! Tonight I added a graphic to the header and a few other goodies to the sidebar. I wonder, is designing a blog ever finished? Hmmm...doubtful.

I won' be posting tomorrow because I have a Compassionae Friends meeting. This will be interesting as neither of our facilitators will be there and, unless someone else steps in, I'm going to attempt to run the meeting.

Oh, and before I forget...Thank you Mr Obama for lifting the ban on stem cell research. I have a 23 y/o son that was diagnosed with SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus) 2 years ago and is hopefully at the end of his chemo treatments. There's not a lot known about lupus in men as it's more common in women. Hopefully a cure will be found soon.

Goodnight dear friends, be gentle to yourselves
