I was away for so long so that I could fully enjoy the last summer that both of my daughters lived at home. It was a special surprise to have my oldest return for the summer, as we had expected her to work away from home again, and it was the last summer before my youngest headed off for college. Since they have settled in to their new places, the DH and I have been enjoying our new status as empty nesters. Happily, both girls are fairly close to home, and visit often.
I have remained busy with crafting, and make excellent use of my Silver Bullet on an almost daily basis. I am still amazed and surprised by all of its capabilities. As usual at this time of year, I am up to my neck in Christmas projects, and enjoying every minute of it.
I hope you all are having a happy holiday crafting season!
Elizabeth
