Hi Everybody,
I hope you are all doing well. I want to first address the elephant in the room and apologize for my extreme absence. That last 4 months have been a bit of a bear for me to handle. With Thanksgiving here in the States and then Christmas and New Years, and then some....Yeah a lot has been going on. But I have a great reason as to why.
I have been extremely exhausted since right after Thanksgiving up until now. Getting up going to work and then as soon as I walk through the door I was falling asleep. I took a test to find out what was going on with me and to my Husband's and my amazement......
WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!
I know right! Hubs and I have been waiting 6 years for the day when we would be pregnant. We actually got pregnant July 2013 but we lost the baby in August '13. We named the baby Hannah Hope. I didn't want to forget that first experience of being pregnant.
But, two days after Thanksgiving, Nov 30, 2013, I took a test and we found out we were indeed pregnant once again. We kept it really quiet until the doctor was sure that we were out of the woods for a miscarriage. She confirmed us at 11 weeks when we went in for our first visit. Here is a picture of our lil' love bug at 11 weeks old. The very first picture.
So here we are, at 16 weeks pregnant this week and going in for our second visit to see if we can find out the baby's gender. I am nervous and excited all at the same time.
So I hope you will all forgive me about not posting but I have little energy to make anything let alone post something. But I do have a few projects to share with you all. And I will hopefully get those projects posted over the weekend. It's President's Day on Monday here in the states and that is a national holiday for us, so there is hope for posting.
Okay, everyone. I have to get ready to go to my gender appointment. Until later..

Practical Scrappers Blog Hop
Happy New Year Everyone!!
I hope you all had a marvelous holiday. Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, reflecting on the birth of Christ, spending time with family and friends, and of course the food. All the wonderful food! And I love New Years and the chance to start over again.
New Years always gets me in a crafty mood as I clean up my craft room and start putting away the tools and paper that I have used over the month. It's those scraps of paper that brings me to my craft for the blog hop.
This hop is all about clearing out the old to prepare for the new. The new CHA papers of course. This hop is to help give you ideas on how to use up those scraps. And since I have a bunch of Christmas scraps from projects I made some Christmas Thank You cards to give out to those who blessed Hubs and I with gifts.
I used Sketch 132, a Deconstructing Jen sketch to create this card. I followed Jen's design and viola, a card was created.
What I used...
~Recollections White card stock
~MME Christmas Kitsch collection
~Studio G "Thank You" stamps
~Lindy's Stamp Gang "Moon Pearl" embossing powder
~Recollections White embossing powder
~Versamark embossing ink
~Colorbox White pigment ink
~White gel pen
~Recollections Wooden Snowflakes
~Acrylic White Adrirondak White paint dabber
