I love this new stamp set!  This owl is just too darn cute!!! As soon as I saw this I had to have it.

I am Back!!!

Hi everyone,
No I did not drop off the face of the earth!!! Lots has been going on since Christmas.  My husband and I took a wonderful cruise in the Caribbean at the beginning of the month, but the day after we returned I came down with vertigo.  I had extreme dizzines for a week that left me with much nausea and I did not feel well at all.  Last week was a bit better and this week is even better with still a bit of dizziness.
On top of that our home computer has crashed and I am waiting for that to be fixed, but it meant installing programs on my other computer that were not on it and since I am not too computer literate... I needed my husbands help.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and I wish you health and happiness in the new year.
Carie
