My heart is

healing. I miss my boy, but he's called everyday since he left so that makes me feel better. I so want him to be happy and live the life he deserves. Thank you so much to everyone for their thoughts and hugs. It;s nice to know that people think i did him some good, I really needed it.!

For Zack...

always know how much we loved you, always know we'll forever be there, we shall miss you dear boy and hope and pray that the happiness you deserve finds you and stays with you, now and always!

It's official

Zack is going home on Friday, I don't know how the system can fail so miserably, don't get me wrong I am totally for reuniting the family, but in this case, as noted by psychiatrist's and doctors that have told this agency he SHOULD NOT return home ever, it saddens me to know that he is, I feel a great loss for the potential he had if he would have been placed for adoption, I really feel that this little boy feel through the cracks :(

Just listed a tonne of rubber stamps and scrapping goodies

in my new venture to sell Close to my Heart i figured i better clean out the scrap closet. so I have listed a bunch of my unloved scrap goodies and some old stamps, some are unused on EBAY thanks for peeking!

Open for business!!!!!!! and some sad news

I got my consultant kit from CLose to my Heart today, I am so excited!!! and overwhelmed, so much to read and learn and make so I have some artwork up on my Consultant site. So much to do.

Now my sad news, as many of you know I am a foster parent, we have had Zack with us since March 31, 2004, and I learned today that there is an extremely good chance he will be returning home to his mom on the 24th of this month, I'm happy a family will be reuinted but for those of you that know us IRL, it is honestly not the best thing for my dear son. I ask those of you that do to say a prayer for Zack that he will be safe and happy should this happen, I will never erase from my mind the reasons and condition he was in when he came to my home almost 3 years ago, keep him in your thoughts

A new Business venture

I signed up to become a Close to my Heart consultant. I am addicted to their Bonding Memories Glue as well as their unique acylic stamps and thought why not try to sell them. You can check out the link to my online shopping and website, although I don't have any artwork up yet, I haven't received my starter kit yet. But feel free to purchase some goodies for the scrapbooker/stamper in your life!! Thanks for peeking, the link is on the right---->
