Anniversary and life's moments

It's Wednesday! Wednesday-Friday I call it for my husband, as he works 3 days for someone else installing and refinishing hardwood floors and then every waking moment trying to start his own business. Speaking of this guy, we celebrated our 18th anniversary this past weekend on the 17th. Just time for a quick dinner out but life it like that now.
We did get time this summer. My husband was able to provide for us to go here:
North Carolina for a week w/my sister and her family. Thanks Honey!!
But for now, life is not how I wish. But we are blessed w/good health and a home...sometimes wondering how long we can hold on to it, one week at a time. But blessed for sure. His business demands too much time and I dream of when work for him was 8-10 hour days and the rest, including weekends, were ours as a family. In the beginning of a business that's how it is. Trying to get back into women's bible studies and crafting and continuing to look for a part-time job. And walking. What would I do without taking my walks and how many miles have I walked this year??
Happy crafting and Fall for now. Hugs, Carol

Happy Fall. My favorite season. I love the crisp air and the changes here in Pennsylvania. Hoping to post some fall colors and some crafting.
I have been enjoying some card making from past "Stampin' Up" parties w/our fun host Kelli, you can find her blog here. I will try to post the awesome cards we made there. And for now Monday's have been scrapbooking days w/my mom and sister. My lovely sister who just got hooked this past spring at her first scrapbook retreat. My sister who wondered to herself and her family.."what will do there all that time?" She was pleasantly surprised. We crafted out pages and laughed at ourselves and our dear mother, had lots of snacks, and added to our paper supplies! In fact, once my sister discovered "stickles"...nothing was safe from her glittery hand. To this day you can probably find something sparkling on every page!

The card above was a teacher "thank-you" at the end of last school year. I probably craft better w/less time and in a hurry since I tend to over think every project like it is a paper painting. Will update this week w/photos of more crafting.
No if I can just figure out how to sign my name fancy....and maybe even catch a "swap" soon, I will be just fine.
