Wow!! Has it really been this long

Hello Everyone,
  I came on here to see when my last post was and boy was I shocked. I can't believe it has been that long.

  I'm sad to say that after the group I was in closed. I loved working with them and loved all the great stencils that we worked with. I haven't scrapbooked since then. I look at it thinking I will find the inspiration but nothing. I thought I would join another team but at this point of my life I can't make things fast like I use to.

  Last year was absolutely terrible. I know this has nothing to do with scrapbooking but may give you in site of my life. As, I do need to vent it to someone.

  My Mother-In-Law moved in with us. The doctors told her she couldn't live by herself. I had just remodeled the room she was going into and she hated the colors and everything else she could think of. She wanted to repaint and make it the way she wanted. Did not happen. I spent two many hours for her to just change it. It hasn't been a really good experience.

  My husband had to have open heart surgery. He had an aneurysm in his aorta and the valve from his aorta was leaking. The most scariest thing to ever hear and have to go through. They had a hard time keeping him stable after and my heart sank. We are talking about my soulmate here. He was on his was back to work until they found water on his heart. They drained about four cups in surgery and another 2 in the days he was in the hospital. He's had problems but is working now. Things in our lives will never be the same. There are things we enjoyed doing that he is no longer allowed to do. I was so depressed thinking that I might lose him. I didn't even have it in me to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas.

  I didn't make any resolutions for the New Year. I didn't even stay up till midnight. Things are looking up for the two of us. I'm hoping this will be the year for us. We could use a great year just to make up for the past. I don't get to excited but I am hopeful. So, I'm thinking to getting back to scrapbooking. I had things started that I need to finish. I thought there would be a start. So, when I get it done. I will show you.

 Sorry for the rant but there are some people out there that I wanted to let them know I'm still here. Just in the background for now.
