Beloved

Here's one of my all time favorite stamps, Gorjuss Girls.  I am sure that's obvious given the Header on my blog.  I just love this artist's images. So very beautiful. I am using some paper from Cosmo Crickett and fun die cut from Spellbinders

Thanks to those who inquired about the storms we are having here in Texas.  Being in Austin, I am right in the middle of it.  I am watching the rives (i.e the ones that were totally dried up due to 4 years of severe drought) turn in to amazing and crazy destructive forces.  My house is in a good location so unlike many, I am safe for now.  I have developed quite the pond in the yard. I am considering adding some fish so I can go fishing.  J/K.  Initially all this crazy rain was not helping the lakes (from which most of this community gets their drinking water), it was down below 40% now, in this one month it has gained over 27 FEET of water and is sitting at 67%.  Much of which happened in just one week.  It's expected to continue to rise as the floods dissipate. My prayers go out to those who have lost significant property, those affected by the tornados that also occurred and those who lost loved ones during this flooding.

I am relieved to hear your home and family are ok. It's been a rough spring for many in the plains regions! It has brought water levels up in many places that were really beginning to be hurting from drought. It's a blessing, but a mixed one. All the rainy weather leaves us with lots of time for crafting though too! :)
