What has happened?
Back in mid-August, Roger had the stroke. Luckily (and I do thank God everyday) that it was what the doctors called a "good" stroke. I had no idea there was such a creature... a good stroke. His balance and equilibrium is still off, even now. We have a neurologist appointment in January, 2009 and hopefully we may be able to find some new information then.
John is being his normal self as is Ryan. Ryan is still working full-time at Walmart. I can only guessitimate that he is still loving it!
Suzanne and Josh are doing awesome. In fact, my wonderful daughter has nabbed a spot on the Elemental Scraps Creative Team!!! WooHoo!!!!
Me? Not much. I am finding my scrapping mojo. I thought I had lost it for good. I was burned out and now I am enjoying the creativity! I wanted to scrap some cards today, but alas....not a chance. We had some extremely heavy rains and, lo and behold, our basement flooded and part of my scraproom. Papers are airing out now as we speak! In fact, we have several fans drying our basement out.
Just for showing off...here are some of my attempts at some Christmas cards this year. A couple of them are hybrids, using Tracy Ann Digital papers and Baers Garten designs! Thanks for looking and I promise I will keep this better updated!!

If anyone is actually reading this...thanks for sticking around with me! I am planning on sticking around!!!
