Time to Catch Up!

Wow, obviously I've been away from my blog for a while...a long while! A lot has happened, some good, some not good. My Mom passed away in August 2011, and it took 3 months to get her house cleaned out and get my Dad into full time care. He has Alzheimer's. Also lots of trips to the lawyer who is probating my parents' estate. I stepped down as Captain of the Etsy Beagles Team, but luckily, another team member has taken over. I still update the Beagles blog (link on sidebar). Then, it was Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's....Whew! Well, it's Leap Day today, so I'm leaping into the blogging again! I've listed some new things in my Etsy shop; mostly vintage. I have some new necklaces that I made, but no photos yet, except for the one named "Vicious," that is listed in my Etsy shop. I have serious "cabin fever" now, even though our Ohio winter was not bad at all; can't wait to get out in my garden again! I hope everyone's 2012 has been and continues to be a good year!
