Hello friends

Hi everyone!

I know... long time no see... but I'm popping in to let you know I'm still around. I have been MIA from the blog for quite a while and it's because I was working on my Master's degree (finally!) I just finished at the end of April and I couldn't be happier to have completed it! I've been on the apology tour with my family and friends for all the times I had to say "no" or "I can't" to things because I was so busy with the Master's program on top of my full-time teacher work. So I'm sorry for my absence, but I hope you understand and I thank those of you who reached out to me wondering where I was- all is well! 

I am back to a little more frequent card-making since that IS my therapy, but I'm posting on Instagram since it's a bit easier & more convenient for me to do. I have a link on the top right of my blog so you can check that out if you'd like and follow me there as well :) 

Here are a few pics to catch you up!

You know I had to bling up my mortarboard!😂

My baby graduated from High School. So now I'm an empty nester...

...Well, not quite. I have this girl with me...  and my tarantula (who is 17 yrs old by the way!) She's in her home behind Tigress. Do you see it? The tank with the turquoise lid. There she is!

Now, I'm enjoying the remaining days of my practice retirement aka Summer vacation!
I will be back to share a little more regularly but if you want to see what I'm up to, check out my Instagram page.

Thanks so much for peeking today.
Until next time.... Tootles!
