OMG

It's been way too long since I've written here and I have no real "pretties" to show for myself. I have been organizing my studio for my upcoming party. I'm not done yet but boy am I making progress.
I have a new Grand Niece, Frances Riley, who arrived July 7 at a whopping 9 pounds. I have only seen pictures and I can't wait to meet her. Her mother and father live about an hour or so away in Columbus and I haven't ventured over there yet. My dear niece has had a terrible time with this pregnancy and I'm sure she's glad the wait is over. I guess I'm waiting for everyone to get a little settled and have a visitor lull before I venture over there. It's difficult to get everyone's schedule to agree. There's my schedule, the hubby's schedule, each member of the other family's schedule, even the kids have schedules these days. It's what happens when you live your life I think.
The hubby had some major dental surgery (4 hours)and I had a bout with my chronic rhinitis that kept me in the bed for four days after the fourth. I did go to a wonderful picnic with some friends over the holiday and we spent a fun afternoon and evening together. Much eating, socializing, fireworks, and getting better acquainted. The hubby is able to eat solid food again but it's still not an easy road for him and to top it off he got so stressed he had major back pain that put on the chiropractic table.
My friend, Colleen, had a neighborhood sale last weekend and I was invited to join her but I was at my calendar maximum.
My party is in a week and a half and I'm going through all the pre-party jitters - will anyone show up, will they like my stuff, am I prepared, blah, blah, blah......
If you are coming, I can't wait to see you and if you aren't sure yet, hope you can.
More later......
