Yes, I am finally here,
in my happy place!
The place I can dream...
The place I can create...
The place I can escape...
This is it!
As mentioned in my previous post, my husband and I have recently become "empty-nesters."
When my youngest left the nest earlier this spring I knew exactly what I wanted to do with the room...
My craft room has been in the basement of our home for 12 Raspberries and Rose Petalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14869326692545169623noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650119546371345105.post-22867014078825375122013-06-23T22:06:00.002-05:002013-06-23T22:06:35.499-05:00Where Bloggers Create 2013
Hello Friends!
Another apology for being a bad blogger!
It's not been a year since the last post, at least. But the creativity hasn't been happening lately...
I am hoping that will change soon, as my husband and I have recently become official empty-nesters, and I am in the process of moving into my new studio! Which means more space for creating!

It's a Give-Away!!! Hooray!

other than by saying that life happens, and time flies!
So, to make my come-back to blog-land,
I'm here to announce a give-away
from one of my favorite bloggers!
Call me biased....
Yes, she's my daughter!!!
