Blog Break

Hello, everyone! I will be taking a blog break for the next couple of months. We have contractors coming to our house in April to do some insurance repairs. You might remember they were supposed to be here last fall but our case got delayed due to a large backlog of similar cases. 

We've been waiting since last March so I'm glad this is finally happening! The water damage is in nearly every room, and we have to move out of our house for 4-6 weeks! I have a lot to do to get ready so I'm starting my break now to get organized before the contractors arrive. In a few weeks, after we move out, I will have no internet service (I have no Smartphone or the like, just a desktop PC!) so I will be completely offline. I will admit I am stressed out, and being sick for over a week hasn't helped!    


On a positive note, I will be back with a special scheduled post as a Guest Designer later this month so stay tuned!  Thank you for your support!  I will see you sometime in May!

We will miss you over at the Outlawz, Kitty! I always look forward to seeing what amazingly sweet and cute creations you'll share with us!
I pray the repairs will go smoothly and that you'll be feeling better soon.

KT, I hope everything goes well. Will be thinking of you, and sending my heartfelt, loving thoughts your way. It's even more fatiguing when the house is upset and in disarray, plus having all those "people" in the way who are not usually there. I'll definitely have you in my prayers, Kitty! hugs, de (who hopes you will be very happy when it is all done!) xooxox

That's great news that you are able to get your repair work done - but 4-6 weeks away from home won't be pleasant. Hope the kitties cope with their temporary change of residence. Take care of yourself during your enforced break - look forward to you posting again in May.

Darling pictures, good luck with the work on your house, I will miss you! Did you ever think of getting a Kindle, I do most of my surfing, commenting and email on mine. My hubby says I should take my pictures and post with it but I have not tried that yet, and they are cheap. Don't know if Canada has free WiFi at fast food restaurants like the USA. Kinda chatty today today, take care, hugs, Donna
