Today's the Big DAY!!!

    Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a really nice weekend and for those of you who celebrate Easter, I hope you had a fabulous day with your family and friends.

    Today, here in Massachusetts it's Patriot's Day and also "Marathon Monday" and it's a day that once again brings back the memories of the tragic events that unfolded last year.   My heart continues to go out to each and every person, friend and family member who was injured or hurt on that very sad day.   I'm also so inspired by everyone who has shown so much caring support to Boston and am proud of our city and state, along with everyone across the country who have care so much!!    I'm very honored and proud to be "Boston Strong" and I honor each and ever runner who is out there running again today!


     I would also like to once again say THANK YOU to all of who were here on my blog last Monday taking part in the Blog Hop and Card Drive for "Little Lauryn".   I was so touched by everyone who took the time to stop by, to leave a comment and also to those who donated to Lauryn's fund and also are making cards for her.   My heart continues to go out to that sweet little baby and I hope and pray that each and every day will help her win her battle.  Please remember that this is a very long road and I once again encourage you all to keep sending cards from time to time, as it's very special to her and her family.   You can always find updates on her Facebook page!!    

   And now for the exciting news, I am happy to announce the Winners of the Blog Candy that I am gifting to two lucky crafters who joined me here last Monday.   I have close to 50 people stop by and that was very inspiring.   To draw the names for my prizes I used the Random Number Generator from Random.Org.

  These are my lucky winners!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
