    3. Hey Lisa, thank you for checking up on me. I have been away this past month...taking a much needed break. I lost my mom in February, and I was her care giver for the past eleven years. I just got back Sunday, and I'm hoping to get back into my craft room and practice my much needed paper therapy. So happy to have friends like you. Thank you!
