I can't believe how long it has been since my last post here. Yikes! I can't even begin to catch up on everything that has been going on. I think it is safe to say this blog is probably not going to be updated often anymore. There just aren't enough hours in the day.
However, you can still keep in touch. :) I still have my designing blog that is updated every so often. I am sure I will start my ramblings there, and I need to be better about updating it more often as it is. So, please come on over and leave me some comments there every so often. And feel free to grab some of my freebies while you are there! LOL I want to know how all of you are doing as well. :)

Things are going ok. The boys are having a lot of medical issues going on right now, some of which have me a bit worried, but I try not to panic unless I have to. Please keep them in your prayers, especially Joshua. The girls are doing great. My designing career is doing well, and I have been having thoughts of expanding into some other areas. Still not positive on that though. Time is my biggest factor right now. Handbells are a blast, and we have a conference coming up that I am really looking forward to.
So, I hope you will come over to my other blog and keep in touch over there. I miss everyone over here and you often cross my mind. I hope all is well with each of you. :) "Talk" to you soon!

Changes
Ahhh. A week of changes.
First, I have made th switch to Blogger Beta. So far, so good.
Secondly, I resigned from Scrapbooker's Playground. However, the same day I signed on at Scrap2Basics. It is actually the new site that I was chosen to be on the CT for. LOL The other designers are wonderful, and I think I will learn quite a bit by being there. Pamela Gibson, whose CT I am a member of, is also a designer there. Pretty neat, huh? I am so excited about designing with these ladies and can't wait to get the details of my first collab kit. :)
So, I also have a brand new kit, "Sweet Elena". Wanna peek?
We have a busy week ahead. I have bells on Monday, an endo appointment for me on Tuesday, a TRU sale function to go to on Thursday night, and Friday will be two field trips and Silas' work Christmas party. Thank goodness for weekends, huh? I'm going to need it after this Friday!
Jacob's right eye has got something going on with it now. He looked to the side a few nights ago and I thought he had something in it. I pulled his eyelid down a little bit and he looked to the left. He has this really dark and large looking vein in it. It almost looked at first as though he had a large piece of string in there, but it isn't. I asked if it was hurting or itching...nope. Did he hit it or poke it? Nope. Did someone else hit or poke it? Not that he remembers. Does the light bother him...doesn't appear to. So, my first thought is that something maybe flew into it. Silas had an eye appointment a few months ago and didn't know he had a piece of metal in his eye. There were no signs of it at all that he noticed, but the eye doc mentioned there were veins growing towards it. So, I am wondering if this is what is going on. I brought him to my parents' house yesterday to make sure I wasn't overreacting and that it does look abnormal, and they weren't sure what was wrong with it either. So, if it is still there on Monday, I am making an appointment with the ped to see about getting a referral.
I told him this as the plan and he quickly went to the living room and just sat quietly. I asked him if he was ok and he started crying, telling me he is scared. I don't know what to do about his fear of the doctor. He is petrified. I held him and explained that doctors make a promise out loud to other people and to God, "First do no harm". I explained this means they are supposed to do their best to help people that are sick and do their best to not hurt them. We talked for a little while about it and though he is still very scared, I think he understands that they are not trying to really hurt him. This is one reason we are waiting until Monday to make an appointment. I want him to be seen by our regular ped on Tuesday. He has built a trust with her, and after the last time I brought him in and the new ped sprayed his ear, well, I think we need to do our best to stick to who he feels most comfy with. My heart breaks that he is so fearful that they will hurt everytime he goes in. :(
Anyway, I am off to get some more work done before bed. :)
