wow ... 2011 is over and it is now 2012. a lot has happened including finding a job outside the home and putting the card business on the shelf for awhile. it was a tough decision but am now feeling good about it. some days i feel like a bit of a failure but most days i realize i just didn't have time and that is ok. i love my job and am happy to consistently contribute to my household. it was a juggling act at first but it is going well and am thriving in the new environment. hope your 2012 is starting off well and am hoping to dive into different creative endeavors periodically. thanks.
