HI Miss you all!

Wow talk about neglecting a blog huh?  Like you all know by  now, I'm working out side the home, and as if that wasn't enough, I'm also back in school.  Yay me...lol except it's taken me away from Crafting.  I think the last day I crafted was right before Valentines, it was also my last video.  I sure miss all of you! I was doing clear rubber stamps for a while but that also had to be put on the back burner.

Now that summer is "trying" to peep around the corner, the days are longer so I might find some mojo and go into my craft room after work and maybe do some videos, but no promises, especially since the weather has been soooo wishy-washy!

I live in Florida and on the 29th of April we flooded!! it was awful...lots of homes are still trying to recoup from the damage.  The high levels made the rivers  and sewage pipe lines over flow so many unfortunate people home's were flooded not only with water but with sewage.  The water has resided but now the mold is growing.  Went from awful to awful! :(
We did  really good, the only thing that flooded, with only water thank God, was my backyard and of course, my craft room.  The water came through the door soaked my carpet.   It dried ok and I was lucky there is no mildew-y smell or nothing.   My sweet hubby made it all good!!!
here are some pictures I took the day after the flood...April 30, 2014.

Lets pray for the safety of everyone we know...Mother nature is acting weird this year!

Once again...thank you all for your continued support!
love
Elsa

  3. Elsa.. ay Dios amado! I am so sorry to see that you too were affected. I've been praying for everybody, not only the flood, but the tornado victims, and now...California. I think God is expecting to caught our attention through nature. Reminding us that we depend on him, not on ourselves. We are so weak. How incredible that in a moment everything can be shake and even gone. I had a awefull situation recently, I thought my world collapsed. Between sobs I ask the Lord Jesus to hold me and support me. But Yes..he did it. I felt his peace. Please my dear friend, ask the Lord the same for you and your neighbors and your sis. I will ask him the same for all of you. This is so sad. ;-(. You appear to be a strong woman Elsa, un pilar en tu familia. Be strong my heart! He have you in his arms. Hugs

  6. Hello from South Carolina. I'm sorry your families are being tested. I'm new to your blog. I've been blogging for many many years but not crafting in blog. My children are all adults now and I'm back looking into crafting so I found you on youtube. Thanks for sharing your crafts and for having a youtube channel so I could find you here. I'll keep looking around. All my blogs park at www.withaz.net and I mostly post, lately, at www.simplycarolinadreamz.com Hugz, Heidi
