New Look, Grand Opening, On the Road Again

WOW!  What an exciting few days!  If you're wondering if you're reading the right blog, you are.  I've wanted to improve the look and feel of my blog for quite awhile.  Karen Valentine helped me make my dream come true. I hope you like the new look.  Thank you, Karen!!!

Most of my time this week has been taken up with stitching and getting my Etsy shop open. Yesterday was the Grand Opening of "Surrounded By Stitches". 


 It was very exciting for me - and a little scary.  However, I've already had some customers!  There's a button on the navigation bar of my blog, please feel free to pop over whenever you can.  I'd love to hear what you think. 

Now - off to pack.  I'll be flying to Atlanta to see my delightful Prince Charming (who turned 3 months last week!) and my daughter for a week or so.  DH will hold down the fort while I'm gone.  I'm so thrilled to be going.  It's been too long since I've held him - given my daughter a big hug.
