Been so long

2013!!!!! OMG that is a long time ago, and it was the last time I blogged anything. Except for when I found this site called bubblews, which was a sort of blogger site, which paid per like, per post I believe that is how it went.
I have been toying with the idea of getting back into blogging for some time now. A LOT has changed since 2013. My little boy is no so little anymore and will become a teenager this year, when did that happen.
If I continue with this blog, it probably won't be much about crafting anymore. I still craft, but not as much as I would like to be. I don't have the drive to do much these days, I would like some energy or drive back, I feel as thou I am on auto pilot, and that is not a good feeling.

Now I have people wanting/needing my attention once again, I swear they all know when I am doing something because that is when I am wanted for something, and that is probably another reason I gave up on blogging years ago.

Hope to post again soon.
Hugs to you all,
Melissa D

P.S. He will kill me if he knows I posted this pic, shhhhh. Our secret. :)

June dare for MMM

We were asked to make something for "truths" I didn't use either of the ones Tracy provided, I used my own, I searched pintrest, googled truths, and could not come up with any truths that seemed to suit me. I am not very religious and seemed to find most of them were about god and such. But here is some that I found, I hope I did this right. I am diffidently cutting it close, seeing as this is July 1st. Opps. I don't like how it turned out, and haven't had a chance to either "fix" it, or do a new one. :(
But anyhow here it is. and I am linking it here.

Letter to me (Tracy's May dare)

So we have been dared to write a letter to me, for the Mixed Media FB group I a part of. Here is the link to Tracy's site, and you can find her letter there too. :) Click here.

So here is my letter, and page to go with my letter. I have not scrapbooked in awhile so that is what the page turned out to be.

These are my entries, I was too lazy to type out my letter, so I took a pic. :)

And every time I thought about this letter to me dare I would think of Brad Paisleys song.

How many times have I wished I could go back in time, and know what I know now.

Oh well I guess I am stuck in the present, and not the past.

Hope you all have a great week.

Hugs,

Melissa D

This is a first for me....

I am actually taking part in my first ever challenge, over at Tracy's blog http://tracywburgos.typepad.com/treasure_the_momentlove_l/2013/04/april-creative-dare.html
I have been a follower of Tracy's for awhile, and I love her Ustreams and watching her create. She has a Monday mixed media Ustream which I try to watch live, if not I catch the recording. With the time zones it's quite late for me. :)
But here is my entry for the dare. :) Hope you all like it.

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hugs,

Melissa D

 

 

Too long since I have written

I know it has been awhile... But I have been very busy. I am now working 2 jobs, and with it being so cold, I have not had much desire to go into my craft room, which is in the basement, and colder then the rest of the house. :(
I have been crafting off and on though. Whenever I manage to get the spare time, and the inspiration, which is not much lately.
Here are a few pics of what I made just before Xmas.

These are just a couple wreaths I made for Xmas gifts. I loved making them. I am thinking of making some for Valentines day as well. Whenever I can get to the dollar store. We have been stuck in the house for a week because of the blizzards we have been having. But the weather is starting to clear up, so hopefully I get the chance this week to get there.

This was one day, when I got stuck out of town, before the weather struck. This is good compared to what it became later in the day.

I am ready for spring. And hopefully my creativeness will return as well.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy. :)

Have a great week.

Hugs,

Melissa D
