It's Your Day!!

Hello happy crafters! I am home! For those who are new to my blog, I have been flying back and forth between my home in Maryland to Arizona to help my parents with life. My father will be 89 in two weeks and has the beginning of Alzheimer and my mother 86 is having several health issues. I was out there for 2  weeks in the beginning of March and after returning home my mother was in a vehicle accident and I flew out for another 3 weeks. My mother was very fortunate and had some major bruising and no broken bones or damage organs. After being gone for a total of 35 days I could not wait to be back home. I missed DH terrible:) He is so good to me and I love him dearly. He had the house professionally clean before I returned and oh my gosh what a  HUGE surprise and treat for me!!

Isn't this the happiest little duck you ever did see!?! He is  part of the A-Blooming with Blessings Stamp Collection  at Gina K design!.
