It has definitely been a bit since I've posted. A lot has happened  in that time.    Unfortunately not all of it has been good.  I had a heart attack last year and thankfully there wasn't any damage done to my heart.  I did fairly well for about 18 months.  Then all hell broke loose   LOL.  On Christmas Eve i was admitted to the hospital for anemia.   I received a transfusion and felt pretty good for a bit.   Was there for 3 days and home for 2 when I had to go back in.

This time, they didn't know what the problem was so they kept me for a couple of days and sent me home.  

I was weak, couldn't eat, could barely walk.   My daughter had had enough and took me back to the hospital.   She told them she wasn't bringing me home til they knew what was wrong and fixed it *grins*.

Had a battery of tests and blood work only to find out I had A-Fib.  I was pretty bad for several days and I wasn't sure I was gonna see my grandkids again.    After 5 days of IV meds my heart finally went back into regular rhythm.  I ended up having an ablation on my heart to keep from going back into A-Fib.    As of today, so far so good.

Now on to more happy things.   My oldest grandson turns 18 in a couple of weeks and my youngest turned 2 in February.  They are both so special to me. Both clowns and like to have fun.  We don't get to see each other every day but we do video chat several times a week.

As far as PD Creations goes, I didn't have the strength to do much of anything with it so it's been on hiatus for a while.  I'm working on some graphics for the etsy store and they are coming along nicely. Stop by and check them out.   

I am also dipping my toes into the wonderful world of resin.   It is much fun and some of the stuff I'm making is pretty sweet if I must say so myself LOL.     Items should start showing up in the shop in about a month.

If you're still here, thanks for being here.   I'm looking forward to getting back in touch with some old friends from the Inner Circle and making new friends too!

Have a blessed day!

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT WINTER

SNOW…is just SO beautiful: it covers everything like a fluffy white blanket and makes for a picturesque panorama. Snow is also better than rain because you won’t get as soaked, and you can actually do activities in it, like skiing or throwing snowballs. 

HOT CHOCOLATE…Turn it into an activity by setting up a hot cocoa bar with mini marshmallows, candy canes, chocolate shavings and your favorite candies for topping.  If hot chocolate's not your thing, there's also apple cider, mulled wine, and plenty of holiday-themed coffee drinks to satisfy your cravings and keep you warm.

 COMFORT FOOD…Fondue or any other heavy wintery food is basically mandatory. You can enjoy a hot chocolate, put marshmallows in it, and top it off with whip cream because winter.

CUDDLING…Who doesn’t like cuddling? You get to spend those weekend mornings being closer to your loved one – be it a human, pet or laptop. 

NO BUGS…Wasps, mosquitos and flies, be gone! You don’t wake up with five mosquito bites that itch like crazy. You don’t have to avoid certain foods for fear that it will attract wasps. And you especially don’t have to swap away flies flying by your ear as you sleep.

SNAP FROSTY PHOTOS…Winter can make the whole world seem as if it’s been covered in fairy dust, making it a gorgeous time to take pictures. In the morning, after a frost, head out with your phone or camera to capture frosted flowers and grasses.

 It's been a bit but I've been busy behind the scenes *grins*.  Here are some of my latest efforts.  They can be found in my Etsy Store currently or they will be added shortly.

Thanks for stopping by!

I am officially the worst blogger ever *grins*.  It has been four months since I posted anything.  And I can't say it's because I've been busy....just lazy. 

Not a whole lot has changed since my last post.  My grandkids are growing like weeds.  This is me and Landon (I am SO photogenic LOL).  He's going to be 17 this year...I just can't believe it.

He used to be my little buddy but now he's just my buddy.  He's growing into such a young man.  I don't get to see him as often as I used to but we text and video often.

Then there is little B-Rex.

 My gosh time goes by WAY to fast.  I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted on my blog.  2022 has not been a good year so far.  In January, I came down with COVID and was down for a couple of months.  It was something I would not wish on my worst enemy.  I ended up losing a bunch of weight (which was not a bad thing) but didn't do it the right way.  I'm doing fine now.

In February my grandson Braxton was born 7 weeks early.  He spent several weeks in the NICU but overcame the problems and is in perfect health now!  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a beautiful day!
