Spring is just around the corner, right? Although there is still at least 3 feet of snow in my yard, the temperatures are slowly warming and hopefully we will see some green before July. The last few months have been a challenge - and not just because of the weather.
I'm sorry to have been so absent on my blog and very thankful to those of you that are still checking in. The first part of 2015 has been full of ups and downs, beginning with finding out that my cancer had returned in early February. Since then it has been a bit of a whirlwind with another major surgery to remove the new tumor as well as lots (54 to be exact!) of biopsies to see if it has spread anywhere else. The good news is that it looks as though the recurrence was isolated to that one tumor, so I do not have to have any more chemo. I can't tell you how relieved I was to get that news! Now I am recovering from surgery and looking forward to getting back to living my life to the fullest - including more design projects and being better at updating this blog. In the meantime, I've been spending lots of time on Pinterest and recently joined Instagram. You can check out my accounts by clicking on the follow buttons in the side bar.
Another "perk" of spending a big part of the day resting is that I've had a chance to get caught up reading some of my favorite magazines, including Craft Ideas. I thought I would share one of the projects I have in their Spring 2015 issue. It is a "snow globe" place card. Fun, huh? I think my nieces will get a kick out of them.
You can find all the details in the Spring 2015 issue of Craft Ideas.
Thank you so very much for stopping by!
Oh my gosh. So sorry to hear about the return of the cancer and all those biopsies. Hugs and prayers that you've won the battle for good.

So good to see you back, Alice! I've been following your posts on FB, but stayed quiet so you wouldn't feel the need to reply. You've been on my mind, and in my prayers. So happy to hear this good news. 54 Biopsies is a LOT! You poor girl! Can't wait to see all of you upcoming crafty goodness! Your sweet snow globe made me smile - great job...love it!
