getting back to it --

wow, it has been a long time since i've written.  i miss it.  i like to write.

one of my newest addictions has been pinterest.  wow -- have you got sucked into that lately?  FUN!

i ran across this image today when i was playing -

first it was ironic that i found it today - on the 1st of a new year, but it also reminds me that every day is a new day.

i'm not one to make resolutions - i don't tend to keep them longer then a few days - and this year is not different.

2011 was a tough year for me - i seem to be in a 'tough year' rut.  2010 was by far the worst for me, with mom being so sick, and passing away, but last year had many, many other frustrations and set backs for paul and i.

sure, we came out on the other side - not always unscathed, but maybe even stronger for it.

the picture i ran across wasn't just for today, but it's a sign for everyday.  God promises us a new beginning - everyday!  we get a chance every day to start over.  thank God for that!

happy new day ---

i'll be back soon - i miss writing.  a new beginning.

a blog is born

i launched a new blog the other day --  serenity lane designs .  it's where i will post cards and other projects i'm working on.  it's very exciting!

i'm working on some other things -- letting my creativity out of the box i guess you could say.  i'm working on getting a shop opened on etsy.com - under the same name - serenity lane designs.  i've also found a couple of paper craft and rubber stamping magazines looking for submissions.  this is exciting to me - i love to create, and i love to write, so why not.  i have to look into the writer's guidelines and editorial calendar and then get creative.

so -- be watching watching to see what i'm up to next!  stop by and visit my new blog -- the link is above, or in the sidebar to the right.  :)

til next time ---
