Last week I was driving home from my store and I was thinking about life. I said to myself.. "I would give anything to get to see my Dad again and be able to talk to him." It was at that moment that it hit me.. I already have. I have given up EVERYTHING and ANYTHING waiting for my Dad to come back and well... I need to realize that it's not going to happen. As much as I may want to see him and be with him again.. I won't be able to. And certainly living my life like I have been isn't going to bring him back. He would probably be ashamed of what I have become the last 7 months! I guess it's no secret that I am and have been really depressed. Well.. I've had a new attitude that past couple weeks and I'm hoping you'll be able to tell with time to come. I have been wanting to blog for awhile but haven't had a chance to sit down and do it, because I have too much to say. I decided today that I'm not going to let that stop me.. I'll just concentrate on whatever is on my mind when I sit down to blog... sooo that's what I'm doing..
I'm still working on counting Creative Imaginations. Geez.. I knew I had a TON of Creative Imaginations products but I guess I never really realized just how much I had! I was aiming for the counting of Creative Imaginations to be done this week, but things don't always go as planned of course... so I'm shooting for it to be done by the end of next week and doing what I have to at that point to get the store up!! Can you believe it?!? I know, I can't!! I was beginning to feel like I was never not going to see that "Be Back Soon" on my stores homepage!
If your in Maryland and are free this Saturday, October 18th, stop by and see me! I'll be vending at the Kreative Junkets Cropfrom 10 AM - 10 PM at the Best Western in Elkridge, 6755 Dorsey Road, Elkridge, MD (410)-796-3300. You don't have to be a cropper to shop and you can drop in anytime! This will be my 3RD time vending at the crop and I usually have so much fun! Of course there is going to be a costume contest there. I'll be dressed in my costume as well! :-)
I listed some more stamp sets in my etsy store today! Check it out if you get a chance >>>HERE<<< lots of good deals! I'm hoping to put more on there tonight. Well that's it for now I suppose.. Have a Scrap Happy Night!!
I can't post without a photo so.... I figure this is a good time to post a close up of my brothers tattoo. Ann emailed me and asked what was on Will's back and so did a couple other people so here it is.. It says "Failure" real big and under the it says "Is not an option".. my Dad always said that. And under that it has my Dad's signature ... It looks just like it.. it's almost as if he signed Will's back and they tattooed it!
Hey there sweetie.. so good to see you blogging again.. I can imagine how hard life is for your right now.. so good you've been changeing your attitude during the last few days..that must be so difficult.. but also so good... your dad must be so proud of you... Good luck with counting the Creative Imagination stuff.. I wish I lived closed so I could help you out a little bit! Hugs!
