I've gone MIA!

Hi everyone. I've been a little MIA over the last 2 weeks.The last 3 weeks have been very difficult. I had to move very suddenly, both my cars broke down, my computer isn't working right, signiicant other lost his job, my little one started school and cries everyday I take her, I've been moving, packing, unpacking, cleaning, organizing.. you name it! Anyways this are slowly starting to get a type of normalcy, if that's possible. I got my craft stuff organized yesterday and planning on some coloring time this week! I hope I can get back into my groove with crafting.
 
I want to say that I am on the BEST Design Teams EVER!!! They are all so understandingduring this little hiccup in my life. I love my design teams dearly.. thank you all!!!!
 
 
Here's a card I made before I had to move, so I thought I'd share it today. It's using
 'Ice Skating' LOTV's new Christmas Collection. Isn't it adorable.
 
Have a great week everyone. I hope to be back to normal really soon!




Supplies
Paper - Heidi Swapp, Copic Xpress, SU
Ink - Memento and Copics
Accessories - large snowflake ornament, snowflake punch (from Diana, thank you)

Wow that sounds so stressful Mindy, you poor thing :( You must be a very strong lady to have got through such a tough time...fingers crossed things settle down soon. Hopefully your OH will be able to find work soon and that your littlie will settle down at school.

On a positive note, your card is fantastic! I love the layout, image and bright papers :)

Love your card :-)
Time to relax in the craft room is essential to "survive" the daily "work-load" for a wife&mother. Hope you'll get your rook up and running very soon.
A lady once told me that card making was something she'll do when she retired, and I then replied: this is what I do to get retired (to "survive" and enjoy&relax before I retire)

Take care

:-) Nina

Oh dear, Mindy - what a lot to deal with all at once. I remember having to peel my daughter off my leg like a stocking, then put her hand in teacher's hand and run off to work (mind you that was 14 years ago, she's a "big girl" now!). The best advice is to make the goodbye really quick, it's harder on you than her, but once you're gone, she really will settle quickly.

Hugs to you all.

Julie :o)

P.S. Love your card!
