I'm baaacccckkkk ....



Well ... here I am. It feels like forever since I have blogged, and maybe it has been. Life has taken so many turns for me in the last months and there are never enough hours in the days.

To begin with .... I bought a business in April called Willow Creek Cresting. June 1st I moved the business to a new location with triple the floor space, renamed the business to ArtAtude Promotional Services, and launched it with a whole NEW look and feel! I moved Mom over from BC to work for me and we set to work. And work it is ... TONS of it ... We are often overwhelmed and exhausted ... but I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the long run. LOL We do custom embroidery, laser engraving, screen printing services, promotional items, and of course ... we brought Digital Princess Designs into the whole game! (We have an area in the store that is about to open now for the scrapping and stamping.)

As well ... I became a Grandma for the first time! I have waited so very long for this and I only wish I had more time to spend with my darling grandson! His name is Ashton Denver Campbell and he and his parents are so very precious to me! I was honored by being invited to stay during the whole delivery and even to cut the cord! WOW! What an amazing experience! Having children is one thing ... but to witness such a miracle is an incredible gift! Thank you Vince and Deb for giving me that! And of course ... I had to share his pic!

Well ...I will do my very best to post more ... and I very much want to start with my artwork again ... so as I do .. I will start posting it.

miss you all ...
