With the seasons there is always change and I have decided on some changes in my life. I have many changes that have occurred:
Design Teams - I'm no longer on any design teams. I have been very fortunate to have been a part of some wonderful design teams and I will always be grateful to them. They helped me through some VERY difficult times and was so understanding with my situations. MWAH to you all!
My priorities have changed - Abby is growing so fast and there is so much I want to be a part of with her. I don't want to miss anything! She plays competitive soccer and we seem to have lots of games and practices that we are attending. Plus I'm her Girl Scout Leader and we are trying to get more involved in our community...you know the whole GIVE BACK thing!
Work has changed - I've taken on another class. So I'm working everyday now teaching the Young 3's as well as PreK. I always wanted a large family but God had other plans. Preschool allows me to have TONS of kids in my life. It feels my heart with joy and I am thankful to have another class this year (plus the paycheck is a little better, lol)
Family - my one and only sister has had a baby. We welcomed my nephew, Channing into the world in September. She's a single Mom and I'm going to do all I can to help her. They mean the world to me...I only wish they lived closer!
Crafting - As you know I used to be an Angel Company Demonstrator. After they shut their doors I was devastated and unsure of what I should do. The Design work that I did plus teaching at my LSS has helped that. I miss the interaction with people though. The getting together to share stories, laugh and sometimes cry together, the overall girl time. I need that. I know that now and that is why when looking for what to do next Stampin' Up just called to me. It felt right and it's the next chapter in my life.
As my blog says this is my Creative Journey...I hope you'll continue to join me as I go down my new path... Thank you to my readers and followers for sticking by me even though the last few months I've done hardly any creating. As I figure out how I want to do things I will start to post again...hopefully each week I'll have more and more post. I don't think I'll ever be the girl who posts everyday. I'm just not witty enough to know what to say, lol. But as I get back to card making and scrap booking I will share my creations.
Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations, Michelle! Stampin'Up! seems to be a wonderful company to work (play?) for! It's always fun to look at convention photos, swaps, etc. I will still be here stalking you, and will look forward to your beautiful creations! It sounds like you certainly have your priorities in order, and I wish you well! Hugs...
Sounds like wonderful changes in your life and that you have a clear direction! It's fun checking in on with you on your blog!
You have made some wonderful changes, Michelle and sometimes that's exactly what we need. Enjoy your new adventures - your job, Stampin' Up, but most importantly, enjoy your family. They grow so fast!!! All of a sudden my son is 16 - driving, working, gf and thinking university - and I'm sitting here wondering where the time went.
Enjoy this new adventure!!!
Hugs!
I know exactly how you feel about feeling "lost" when The angel Company closed - there was just something missing - missed the girls, the swaps, the conventions, PaperWings etc. so I signed with another stamp company - it is "ok" but I just don't have the warm fuzzy feeling I had with TAC. Good luck with your new venture and you sound like you have got your priorities in the right place. Be a good Mom. and a good auntie to your nephew and stay true to yourself.
I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves with the SU product! Sounds like great changes have come your way :) Congrats!!!
I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds for you! Stampin Up is soooooo luck to have you.
