I'm really hoping that I'm back for good now!<div>It all began 5 years ago. My Dad passed away from Pancreatic Cancer in 2010. From that point till now I just could not get in to making my cards! I used to be in my craft room daily trying new ideas and loving every minute, but that all came to an end when dad passed away. I have done card orders when asked but the passion just wasn't there.</div><div>Then a couple days ago two of my friends called with card orders. I went into my room to start them and something happened.....I felt a bit of excitement! I got both orders finished and now I'm starting my Christmas cards!! </div><div>Here are some of the cards I've made over the last two days</div><div><br></div><div>Here is my first Christmas card....there are many more to go!

I would be happy……..but……..I did it in 51.09 min!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so proud of myself, and so grateful to my daughter!!!  She is an amazing person!!!  She is in amazing shape!!!  She has always been able to run and I know she would have signed up for the 10k run if I had of said no to doing the walk!  She stayed beside me all the way and we walked across the finish line together!! </p> <p>Holly you are my hero!!!</p> <p>Here we are waiting for the race to start.  There were over 5000 people taking part.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-RT988a2GcC4/UbUpSeuFvoI/AAAAAAAADC4/IbdrK67IM6E/s1600-h/576766_10151648277880673_1390401773_n%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="576766_10151648277880673_1390401773_n" style="border-top: 0px;
