Well gang…I’m baackk! I’m sure you’ve been wondering if I fell off the face of the earth!! I’m sorry it has been so long since I’ve posted. I’ve had a rough month.

The mid part of April, I was consumed with completing swaps for the cruise and then I enjoyed the week long Panama Canal cruise. However, I returned home to find out that my beloved grandmother was very ill with pneumonia. She passed away April 24 and the Memorial service was April 30. I was sad for a few weeks and was on an upswing when the pipes in my laundry room sprung a leak ruining my laminate floor and one wall as well as soaking my dining room carpet. It took a few days to repair, recover and clean up. In addition, I had numerous e-mail problems after changing over to Verizon and my bike was stolen from my garage. A crazy long story involving its recovery would take too much time to tell…but suffice it to say, I’ve been stressed.

However, I’m on my way to feeling better and wanted to treat you all to something special for being so patient regarding the lack of blog activity on my end. Following this post, I will be posting a Tutorial…my very first!! I hope you enjoy it and will begin checking out my blog again!! Thanks again for your patience!
