Man, my week starts with not a thing on my calendar, and by the end of the week, I have not had a day at home! Doing the job of 2 people is HARD! Keeping the house building business going, as well as the house is taking it's toll. My house looks like a pig sty, but I am excited to say I have a housekeeper starting next week. Ahhh, more stamping time (I hope). I do have a card to show, but right now, a picture I found on Russ' computer. One that I did not know he had until after he was gone!
What a great day that was! This just makes me smile.
Beautiful reminder of the love you shared as well as many fond memories. You are one busy gal running a business, maintaining a home and raising two boys to say nothing of everything else that comes your way. Please find time to stamp for yourself and for us. Congrats on getting a housekeeper ~ you deserve it.

That is a beautiful photo! Very cool.
Enjoy the housekeeper. I'd love to have someone come in and do a really good cleaning every once in awhile.

What a pleasant surprise.

How sweet to find that picture! And, girl, may I say how WORTH it is to have a housekeeper, baker, dog walker, personal shopper (not for stamping stuff), car washer, landscaper, etc...not that I have any of those, but I would in a minute if it meant I could spend more time with my family and my business!

all the best with the business and keeping your homeland together.......the keys to
organizing will improve with time....but
you never back down from a challenge and
you always come out better for it.

I used to have a stamp (that I cannot find) with the sentiment "God gave us memories that we may enjoy roses in winter". You are blessed with beautiful roses!

Is that a truck I see in the background? Was that Russ' idea?
