I'm Baaaaack! ^_^

Hello, Blogland...Whoo wee...time flew by really fast. Life moves fast.  I wish I could freeze time to be able to cherish and enjoy everything a bit longer.  Anywho, I'm back to blogging! Where did time go? 

I've been a M.I.A. blogger due to such a hectic life with home, work, and activities.  The DH is back on deployment and my teenage son is constantly on the go here and there.  I also did some volunteer work to keep me occupied when DH first left, then WHAM! the holiday season kicked in.  I did manage to squeeze some crafting in and the pictures posted are some of the projects I've completed on since my last blog post. 

Firstly, I made my nephew's baby shower invitations.  They expected a baby girl and she was born on my sister's birthday.  She's a cutie and we have another addition to the family.  Hey, my sister is a Grandma! Lol!



I went into a Hello Kitty mode and ended up buying anything and everything Hello Kitty.  My nieces are big fans of HK so I made composition notebooks using these decorative duct tape and HK stickers.  The mini notepads was fun and easy to make.  I used the HK chipboards.  Everything I bought and used was purchased at Ben Franklin Crafts.  I love that store.  :)

Anyway, It's a New Year and new resolutions are being made.  I read my first post that I made on my blog dated, January 04, 2012, I must say that I've kept my resolutions and lost weight, (28 lbs. to be exact), and made some changes in color with my clothing. Last year's resolution was to "Make Changes Happen" and major changes in my life were made besides lose weight and color in clothing. I'm proud of myself. ^_^ Yay, me!  I haven't made 2013 resolutions yet, but I will...one resolution should be to post more blogs. :)  

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I'll try my best to visit more often with more posts.  I have a lot to catch up on.  Things are winding down for me and the transition of having the DH absent from home has seem to settle in.  My son and I have a routine. :)  Have a blessed New Year, everyone!  

Much love,
Regina

Hooray! I am so excited that you are back to blogging. Your projects are fantastic. At my old age I am still a Hello Kitty fan and I love your sweet creations. Those baby shower invitations are adorable. I am impressed by your work and your determination to keep your resolutions. I haven't been as good as you. Happy 2013 to you!
