A New Beginning -- Chapter Two ---

So I realize that I have been away for awhile.  Sorry about that.  I have been working like a Trojan for the past couple of weeks making new scarves and also working on a new Collage.  I will share some of my new scarves and also the collage with you in a minute.  Just wanted to catch you up for a minute. 

So my youngest has now gone off to college and oh my has that been an adjustment for me.  You know it's like you have had this job for the past 26 years of raising children (and that was your full time job) and than all the sudden someone comes in and says "it's now time for you to Stop".  Thank you very much but clear out your desk.  Wow... 

But after you get over the shock - and the first couple of weeks you realize that you will go on.  I realize that I don't have to stop and wonder what I'm going to fix for dinner -- or what time they are going to get home .  It is kinda freeing to know that it's time to start "another part to my story".  I think I did a good job the first half of my life.  Now on to Chapter Two.  :o)  I'm really excited for the adventure actually.  Lee and I are working on "hanging out together and enjoying being together "alone" again.  We tease that it is a "work in progress".  It will be fine --- just different after so many years of being 5 now we are 2 again.  :o)


Thank you my precious children for giving me the BEST 26 years.  Cause that is how old my oldest is.... I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  You three children are the BEST Gift that has ever been given to me and I am so Blessed. What wonderful individuals you have become...  :o)  You make me so proud.


Now onto my new scarves.  Let me know what you think.

And now finally my new Collage

So with all that said -- Let the NEW ADVENTURE begin and may it be as Wonderful as the first Half was....
