Partial Retiform by Gina K

It's been a while...:( sorry about that!

I got this link in my email today and really enjoyed it. I hope you do too!







I've been dealing with some health issues and taking care of my father-in-law (Grand-boys and Grand-puppies too). My energy level has been low - this is my biggest challenge as well as dealing with pain levels. On a positive note I did lose about 75 pounds and am holding steady. I still need to lose at least another 50 pounds...I know I can do it. We are going to the Florida Keys again and this year I am going to bring a pirate suite. I made a good friend down there and she wants to dress up too! So I have been researching ideas on Pinterest...yes, I am a Pinterest junkie. Please feel free to go to my page and 'pin' as many ideas as you like: https://www.pinterest.com/durandconnie/

I been doing Stampin' Up! card class at my friends every other month. She is a demonstrator (Jeannie Field Brinkmeier). We make about 5 cards and sometimes a 'non-card'...we have lunch together and then start placing our orders. Each one of use take a month so we can earn extra's. Jeannie can be found on Facebook and under the Stampin' Up! site.

My craft room has really gotten worse...WOW is a great way to describe it. It is not organized. I have no clue to what I 'really' own and what I need. I even find that I buy duplicates! I'm going to have to break down and ask for help. After my last 3 surgeries (one year ago) I am having a hard time with my memory and focus. I can only pray that it will get better. I really want to use my room and create. I believe that if I can do this my 'memory' process would improve. Art is therapeutic and helps stimulate the brain.

Hugs to all of you who come to this blog. I'm not consistent but I wish I was :D

Oh, I actually am making a date nut cinnamon cake (similar to what my mother-in-law use to make).

'till next time,
