LOST MY MOJO

Hi all - so sorry I have been so quiet this week, but it has not been a good one for me. I lost my job on Wednesday and I am still trying to catch my breath from that. It was very unexpected although I do live in CA and should know and understand how bad it is here. But, it still hurts and so I have not been up to doing much of anything. However, my goal is to stamp today and remember how good it feels to create - after all, that is why we all do it, right? So, I am going to be kicking off the week with the new Stampers Challenge on the new Stampin' Up! Connection site (if you are a demo and have not signed up, get on over there!) as I have been asked to be part of the Card Sketch Monday challenge with three other ladies. I am excited to have been chosen, especially now. So, thanks for being patient with me and sticking by me, I hope to have some things to show you this week. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Oh Alex I am shocked to read this news. I didn't even realize until I went through your post. I am so sorry honey! Praying that God brings something your way soon, or better still He gives you a rest and than brings you something even better. Thinking of you sweetie.

((((((Hugs))))))) So sorry to hear this! I know how hard you worked and how lucky they were to have you, things must be really bad for them to have lost you. I'm hoping for a quick recovery for both of you!
