Its been an interesting ride this past month. Shortly after starting this blog and setting up my new domain, changes within my family happened and I had to focus there. My last post here was literally the last time I had a chance to sit down and design/create something for myself to share.
What were these changes that so affected me? I'm on my way to becoming a mommy. I have a 3-year-old cousin who was placed in the foster system towards the end of May. Since early June, my husband and I were doing what we could to get him placed with us. It was a very frustrating and upseting time because due to the economy a lot of social workers were being laid-off so it was difficult to get in contact with people, and there were periods of time when children didn't even have a social worker assigned to them.
But on July 2nd, the judge ordered placement with my husband and I and we've had him in our lives since then. We didn't have any children of our own (not counting our cats :)) so we were having to learn how to be parents. The first time I heard him call me mommy melted my heart.
So with that being said, things have started to call down (a bit). They will be picking back up again because we're going to adopt and will need to go to classes and such, but I'm ready. :) I've also finally had a chance to sit down and design again!
In fact, I have a workshop scheduled for later this afternoon! I will post pictures of the projects I came up with early this evening once I return from the workshop.
Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. Its going to be an interesting ride, and I'm thankful to have this outlet to help me through.
Happy Stamping!
