Hi all - can't believe it's been over a month since I posted. Just a quick update - Since May I have been in a huge flare-up of my autoimmune disease causing me pain, stiffness and extreme fatigue. Argh!!! Also in that time - we went to Greece, came home, moved to a new house, started to get settled, took a 2 week road trip to Wisconsin, and came home - - - and, well, enough said. Through this all I have struggled just to do the absolute necessities, and many things fell by the wayside, including blogging. But, I am hoping to do better - my symptoms are better as far as the pain and stiffness - but I have not beat the fatigue yet - so wish me luck.
But during all of that I have received cards - cards to welcome me to my new home, to wish me to get healthy, and cards - well, just because. And even though I was usually too tired to acknowledge them I want you to know each and every one made me feel loved and gave me hope and brought a smile to my face. So today - I am sharing that love with all of you -

How cool is that - I hope you also can get some inspiration for your own card making. If you sent me a card, and I have not featured it - please know it was also so appreciated. I am sure during the move that some cards are not here. I will probably come across them (as I never throw them lol) and will post in a future post.
I know I have mentioned before that I consider card making and sending; as a ministry. As I make cards - I pray; as I send cards - I pray; and my hope is that the recipients are blessed by them. These cards just reaffirmed my belief that it is a ministry - as I certainly feel BLESSED! Thank you all - back soon with more fun and creativity! ~~Maureen
