I'm Back!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm back!!  I had to take a break from blogging and design teams for awhile due to some life issues. During my break I realized that life happens and we're always going to face some type of issues,  it's how we handle them that counts.  Slowly and surely my creative juices have started flowing again and I am excited to restart my blog.

I want to thank everyone that reached out to me during my absence to make sure I was ok. Even though I have not met many of you in person, it feels so good to know that I have cyber friends that are concerned about me.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Those of you that have know me for awhile remember when TJ was just a little one.  Well, he turned 17 in June and will be entering his senior year in the fall.  Today I'm sharing a layout from his birthday.


I did some reorganizing in my scraproom recently and have taken a lot of things out of their original packaging so I won't be adding any supply lists to my posts.  However,  if you'd like to know the manufacturers of any of the products I've used, just leave me a note in the comments and I'll try my best to let you know.

I'm linking this layout up to Your Scrapbook Place August Challenge - Anything But a Card.  I haven't participated in challenges in ages so we'll see how it goes...

I'm also linking up to this week's Word Art Wednesday Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you continue to follow me as I restart my blog journey.

Blessings!

    So great to see you back and blogging Gemiel, and getting creative.
    What a great layout - love the bright colours you have used, and TJ is looking quite the young man now.
    Blessings

    Ya Gemiel I've been visiting your blog to see if you have any new creations and just for inspiration and I'm so happy to see your back. Boy TJ has grown up. Let him know I said Happy Belated Birthday.

    Well keep me and Bro in your prayers. Were looking for a place to call home. I'm praying the Lord will call us back to VA. Any way Please Keep Us In Pray that the Lord would call us back to Yorktown (lol =) but where ever he place us would be fine) that he will provide a home and work. HUGS AJ-

    I'm pretty much in the same boat. Trying to jump start my blog and creativity. I have to go reorganize because I feel like I've almost disappeared. I miss sharing.
