Trials & Tribulations ~ a long post today….

Hello Folks ~

as some of you might know from reading my Facebook post,
I am currently undertaking a huge task ~

One I cannot talk about at this moment, 
...but one that has extreme importance 
and is taking every ounce of my positive energy to get through…

If you have emailed me, sent me an Etsy conversation,
 messaged me through FB, or have called recently and left a message for me
and I have not responded (yet), please know that I am working my way through
and hope to get you all answered.

Orders are being processed as soon as I can get them processed, 
and for those of you who have had the misfortune 
of being on the NON-receiving end of the Postal Service, 
...please know that I am doing everything I can to fix that situation…
I want to again thank those of you who are in this situation 
with me for your very kind patience & support...

Pre-orders for our ©Hookinpunch frames will begin to ship this week
as well as the many (many) new members of our Little Stitches Handwork Club kits.
(thankyouthankyouthankyou)

please keep me in your thoughts and send positive energies towards me
as the situation I'm dealing with is extremely stressful and very emotional.
I will answer this:
No, there are no health concerns ~ we are all fine.
No, there are no family concerns ~ we are all fine there too.
(thank you for the many comments on my FB post)

Some of you know what the situation is that I'm involved in, and I want to thank you for allowing me to put my head on your shoulder and my heart in your hands ~ I truly value you more than you know.

So, with that said,
I might not have a lot of time to devote to this blog in the next 2 weeks ~
I usually post in the mornings, but you may find me posting in the evenings for a short while.

Since I have been 'busy' let's say,
I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to hold our Open House yesterday ~
BUT
with the help of my dear friends, we had a wonderful open house!
I LOVE YOU 
Joan, Felicia & Natalie.

Hoping you all enjoy the rest of the weekend my Friends ~

* Blessed be *
