Hello! I'm still here! :)

Hello friends!

 I have missed you! ♥

I'm sorry for my long absence from blogging.

In fact, Mondays are usually the day I post for The Project Bin,

but I haven't had a moment to get back to card making.

We were completed thrown out of any sense of normal life by hurricane Irma.

We prepped our home, then evacuated ~ leaving everything behind 

expecting a Category 5 to destroy our home and belongings :(

We came back home to a very un-normal life of clean up and rebuilding, 

both here and at my mom's house.

Even now as I type, I hear the faint sound of a generator in the distance

and the hammering of patching a roof or rebuilding the fences,

and chain saws continuing to cut through fallen trees.

 Our home is intact - PTL - and everything that fell/broke is replaceable.

 Petrol/gas is short, power is out everywhere,

massive trees are down and blocking roads, 

grocery stores are stripped bare.

We were able to skirt the disastrous Category 5 strength 

and get the outer bands of a 3 or 4 ~ such a blessing.

It breaks my heart to see how many are suffering total loss 
and devastation in the Caribbean islands and our beloved Florida Keys.

 So, I started coloring this morning after my son resumed school again. 
It's just a simple card, and about all I could manage.

 

I am so thankful for how many people prayed for us,

sent us wishes of good will and messages of strength and hope.

I feel blessed beyond measure knowing so many were thinking of us

and I thank you all, each and every one of you! 

This card is dedicated to all of you :)

Thank you ♥

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
