I have had several people want to know where I have been the past several weeks. Sadly, my mother fell ill on June 16, a few weeks later was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, and on July 16 she went home to be with the Lord. At 84 years of age she was beginning to show signs of slowing down, but we just we not expecting to lose her this way. To say that I am heart-broken is an understatement.
Here is a picture of a scrapbook page that features her in her early twenties. This is my all-time favorite photo of her. I made this page ten years ago as an Artisan Award entry. You can see the original post here.
I will be posting again hopefully in 3-4 weeks, but for now, I just can't. My mom was my biggest cheerleader when it comes to my stamping, so I will definitely be back, but for now I need to put my family first and help my dad get things in order. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for our family. I love and appreciate you all!
