Update: I'm Baaacck! :)

Hey yall! How you all been? Miss me? .......Well???? Lol I'm messing with yall.

Wow, it's been a while. Well, it's my fault. Some things went south for me a while back. Been dealing with a lot of family stuff. Some of you may remember I had a new grandchild earlier this year. Well, he's not with us any longer. He made it just over 4 months. ......................

Anyway, it's a new year. We're moving on. It's rough, but we're doing it. I'm still scrapping. Doing real good with it , too. And even tho I've been real quiet I have checked in with SMF to try to stay updated. Lot of changes around here. Wow. A lot of new faces. Faces??? lol But it's all good :)

I may not say as much, but I'll be here. Who knows? I may say more than ever!! Either way, I'm back yall! Looking, listening, and hopefully still learning.

Keep on scrapping!! :)

Welcome back Jack. Its been a while
