"Make-It Monday" - You Always Deliver

Good morning everyone and HAPPY MONDAY!  I hope your day is wonderful and your week even better!

I'm happy to be back at blogging and sharing with you! My trip to Greece was amazing.  Some incredible things happened to encourage me during difficult times.  It was hard to go, but I was blessed to see that my husband and I can still enjoy life and find joy in each day even after losing our dear son Adam.  It was hard to come home too.  We never stopped thinking of Adam during our trip, but coming home and again facing the fact that he's not here anymore was overwhelming and heartbreaking.  The hurt never leaves us, but God gives us the strength and courage to go on.  We have so much to be grateful for and I choose JOY!  I find comfort in knowing I will be reunited with my son one day in eternity! I'm choosing to focus on God and the blessings He has provided! 

One of those blessings is my Stampin' Up! business and the people that are in my life because of it...my customers, my followers, my team and fellow demonstrators...all I consider friends!  All this to say...I'm HAPPY and GRATEFUL to be back at it!  THANKS for keeping me going!

It's Monday and I have a really cute "Make-It Monday" to share with you!  Enjoy and be INSPIRED!
