A Rainy Hello from Alaska

You may of noticed that I've not been around for awhile, well let me fill you in on what's been going on lately. As you may or may not know that I work as a Adult Case Manager for the Kenaitze Indian

Tribe. I help out approximately 20 of Elders and Vulnerable Adults each month, we have lost a few of them this year that worked with personally.

But the good news is that I had a bundle of joy come into our family (my first granddaughter baby Ava) then I lost my beloved father in-law. So I really took a step back and took stock of my life to see what was really important to me so unfortunately my crafting has taken the back burner so to say.

I will only be staying with YSBP as a designer for now.

So now to my creation for Your Scrap Book Place with SLS Lines as our sponsor this month and I've had the pleasure of featuring Pretty Geisha digital image.

Snow Queen at Outlawz Greeting Challenge

Hello There!

Wow fishing has been in full swing here on the Kenai Peninsula and a busy time for all, canned up 2 cases of fish for the winter.

I added smoke flavor on one batch and garlic cloves for the other batch......yummy good!

While fishing we picked lots of fireweed flowers, if you've ever made herb jelly you know the how long the process is but the results are sure wonderful fireweed Jelly
