Doing Some thinking lately
Posted in 0 comments
Hello
So lately I have been doing a lot of thinking about the upcoming year. This year has seen a few big changes in my life. My father in law has passed away, my eldest son graduated from high school and I am now a grandmother.
My father in law to be Mike Mccarty has passed away. He was a wonderful man whom I care for deeply. I miss him a lot. He lived a street over from us and every time I walked the dogs I went by or saw his house. It is hard walking the dogs now and seeing the empty house. As hard as it is for me I realize my fiancee, Chris, is having a much harder time. He has now lost both of his parents. His mom passed away several years ago. This is the first holiday season without Mike and it is so hard for us.
The next big change, my son, Matthew, graduated from high school. I am very proud of him. It is so hard for me to think he is no longer in school. I feel like life has flown by and I should have stepped on the brakes. This change is leading to another huge change for next year. Mathew is thinking about joining the Marines. I am again proud of this. My only concern is he wants to join the Marine recon division. If this happens he will be put in harms way for most of his military career.
Finally my baby, L.B., who is not exactly a baby i now a Junior in high school.
Chris's older son, Andrew, has a son now. My grandson is Liam and he is so super cute.
All of these changes and a few of the ones to come are why I am making a few changes or goals of my own.
1) I am going to blog more. No more excuses. I am going to sit down and write on this blog more.
2) I am starting a weekly video program...Tuesdays with Tracy. This is where I will create a scrapbook page or a card or maybe both. I will be featuring some new products or some of my current favorites.
3) I will be doing give-a-ways. These give-a-ways will include my current favorite product and/or a product that was featured in my video for that week. This is my way of giving back to a hobby that has given me so much.
I have fallen in love with card making. Which is great because I am determined to use up a lot of my old stash before diving wallet first into the new goodies that are coming out at CHA in January or Feburary. I am so excited to see some of the new goodies but I must make room for them.
So these are my thoughts as of late.
Thanks so much for popping in and reading my little blog.
