Where have I been?

First off, I hope that all of my readers and their friends and family are safe.  The recent tornado blitz is terrifying; I am very saddened by the enormity of this storm and empathize with the families that lost their homes and all their possessions.  I am devastated for those that lost loved ones.  I pray that the worst is over.  In 1 1/2 weeks it will be one year since the tornados were in Raleigh (April 16th).

We will be having a block party next month to commemorate the 1 year passing.  We will be celebrating our good fortune if we did not suffer any losses, what was rebuilt for those not so lucky and the friendships that were made.  People often don't get to know their neighbors these days and this event definitely pulled ours together.

Work is crazy again and the kids are now in three activities (scouts, dance and soccer)  so I have been pulled in a million different directions.  I will be catching up on several bloggy things over the weekend.

I am very behind with the weekly card project so will feature one card and then an mixed-media mini art book that I finished finally.  Thanks to Lovable Labels I also finally got my craft corner organized and will be sharing the results with you.  Other upcoming reviews and/or giveaways....yes this is how far behind I am!:
