Hello out there!!!!!!!

August 6th, really now. I can't believe it has been this long since I posted on the blog, shame on me. Well here is the latest and greatest Top 10 (in no specific order).....
1. Still getting a divorce....it is hard at times but I am adjusting well and so is Denver. We are spending alot of time together and relearning a new town.
2. Denver is in his new school and loving it. We even have A/B report cards coming home and no phone calls from the school everyday...YEA ME!!!!!!!!
3. I have discovered that I have the landlord from hellllloooooooo...I have to laugh at their own insanity but this involves a whole new blog to fill you in. Just trust me when I say I am laughing at their stupidity, I am sorry...I meant to say insanity.
4. Work is still Work and busy as ever.
5. StarScraps (Kim) is blowing the doors off the digiscrap world, I am so proud of her and all her kits. Way to Go Kim!
6. Clay is still away in college, and we won't discuss his first semester there either. Okay all I have to say is, "Really, how exactly do you fail Freshman Orientation?" Enough said, I am proud of him either way he goes.
7. Designing...nope, making cards, YOU BET...My new found love but I do miss the digi world.
8. Devin is doing well and we are battling his desire to dye his brownish-blonde hair to black. I think he is really wanting to see where the stress test is failed by his father. Good Luck Shane! Devin is definitely doing it out of defiance. I sometimes wonder if he is pushing things to see where the burst point is on that vein in his fathers neck or he is trying to make me completely grey by my next birthday.
9. Our God is an amazing God, I have been blessed from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I have so many stories to share with everyone and will start posting them soon.
10. I will also be posting a few pics I have taken of the cards I have been making. I am playing with stamps, embossing powder, my cricut, stain glass paints, watercolors (still working the bugs out on my pens though), you name it and I am probably looking into it. I am all over the place when it comes to making cards. I even made stationary for the family for Christmas.

If anyone out there is using metal to emboss with a stylus...let me know where I can go get some heavier metal. I remember seeing it in Hobby Lobby and Michael's but they are no longer carrying it. I even went out to the big world of the Internet but have not found anything that is just under the thickness of a soda can. Foils are not thick enough and in my desperation, I tried a heavy duty aluminum foil but that didn't work out so well....I am up for some tips.

Well it is sooo late and I have caught up on all my blogs that I have not been able to sit down and see what they have been up to lately. I am pooped now....but I will be back. I have so much to share with everyone.
