Ahhhhh...to be home... :)

It's a good thing and a sad thing all at the same time. I know you all know what I am talking about...

I love, love, love MONTANA!! Definitely my favorite place EVER! But this past week? Dang it, it was so hard for me...emotionally. My Papa is getting old. All I want for him is to be happy and feel loved. I want him to know that his family only wants the best for him. He is my last grandparent alive. You would want that for your grandparent(s) too, wouldn't you? Needless to say, there is some  "stuff" going on within the family and I think there are some (okay, mainly one) that are losing track of who the focus should really be on. THAT is totally FRUSTRATING to me. So, so, frustrating...

Anywho, it makes for a very emotional, stressful vacation. And even though I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family, it makes it hard to enjoy our time together. Know what I mean? Sigh...maybe next year will be better? I sure hope so...

Okay, so enough of my personal baggage, I am sure you all don't want to hear bout that! :)

Here is an ATC I made for a swap that my super cyber friend Linda (LSN on SCS) hosted:

As you can guess it was a TCP swap. I was late as usual. (Note to Peeps: don't ever ask me to participate in a swap unless you are okay with mine being late!! I am notorious for this! LOL) Thank goodness Linda is my friend and didn't yell at me for holding it up. HeeHee (Thanks Linda!!!) She is such a sweetheart! Love her! xoxo

Ummm, so how do you like my frog that my Sis gave me? How awesome is THAT? Oh my goodness, I was sooooo EXCITED!! She even gave me a rectangle one! LOVE IT! And I love how it holds up the ATC so perfect. Oh! Sorry for the poopy picture taking. My camera has a BIG owie and is being sent to the Doctor to be fixed. Keeping my fingers crossed that it won't take that long. I can't live without it!! Needless to say I am having to use my ole point & shoot and am finding it VERY challenging to take photos right now.

Speaking of photos, this was the last one I was able to take while on vacation in Montana:

Isn't that beautiful? Sigh... love how the fog is just hanging there in the trees. We had a thunder storm that afternoon and then it started to warm up in the evening thus causing the fog. Some of it could be the smoke from all the fireworks; but mainly it was fog. Definitely one of the coolest pics I have ever taken. Thank goodness my sweet baby camera was able to hold out for one more pic! LOL

Totally different topic...so remember when I told you I was going to redo the ole blog? Well, I hired someone and made the mistake of paying upfront. (Note to Peeps...NEVER PAY UPFRONT!!!) Well, four months later: no new blog design and no communication (in the last two months) from the person who was supposedly working on it. I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am. The reason I am telling you this is because you are probably going to be seeing different things over the next couple of months until I find something that I am happy with. Nothing is permanent right now. Just feeling/checking some things out. Ya know? Thanks for being so understanding.

Alright, well, I think that's a wrap for now. I hope you all have a wonderful week! I am sure I will be posting crappy pics later this week so be on the lookout. LOL

Have a Happy!!
