I'm Baaaaack!!

Hi Crafty Friends!!

I'm Baaaaack!! Did you miss me??

Wow has life changed since my last post in 2021.

Nate has graduated high school and is now a Freshman at Aurora University down in Aurora, Illinois. He is majoring in Business Management, minoring in Sports Management and playing Men's Volleyball for the Spartans!!

Morgan turned 16 late this summer, has her driver's license, is a Junior in high school and wants to go on to college to become a Veterinarian and play softball!!

Big Dreams and Big Goals for These Kiddos!!
Wonder where they get that from? =)

Sean and I are still enjoying our travelling adventures, purchased e-bikes and love riding the trails and are our kid's number one fans at all their sporting events.

I just celebrated my 21st Anniversary at Promega (my full-time job) last month!!

We added two four-legged fur babies to our home over Covid in 2020. Leo and Lola were the perfect addition to all the downtime we had back then. They have learned to be independent again with everyone going back to school and work. LOL!!

Still a HUGE Volleyball Family ... attending all the Badger Women's Volleyball Home Matches, watching Sean play in his sand and indoor leagues, watching Nate play in college down in Aurora and watching Morgan play softball in high school and her travelling club Midwest team.

Most of you probably know that Close To My Heart needed to close their doors back in June. We were officially done as Independent Makers as of April 30. So my new crafty story began May 1 with joining Stampin' Up! Never in a million years would I have guessed that this is where I would land, but after 15 amazing years with CTMH, I was not ready to hang up my scissors. So I made the leap of faith and transitioned over to SU! So far it has been an amazing experience and one that I am very happy that I made.

In my first 5 months I promoted from an Independent Bronze Elite Demonstrator to a Silver Demo and now to a Silver Elite Demo. I also earned my very first Incentive Trip* to Disney World for Sean and I. 

I will be sharing our monthly specials and promotions, my Girls Night Out Events and Weekend Retreats along with beautiful artwork I have been creating when I have the time.

I look very forward to reconnecting with you and sharing some crafty inspiration!!
