it’s been a while!

Lord love a duck! It’s been weeks since my last post.

It always takes me a while to adjust to a new living situation after a move, due to the Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) that I have. This spring brought some seasonal allergies my way too, but that seems to be getting better each day.

I’ve managed to get out a few times for spring photos, and will share those with you in the coming days. I’ve also been processing some older photos, taken before my husband passed away. They always bring me to tears, due to the memories attached to each shot, but I must continue to move forward.

The newest thing with me, is that I’m designing digital scrapbook graphics again. Here is a link to my store: b. j. designs. My dear, dear friend Debbie Bastian is now the manager of Aimee Asher Boutique. Debbie asked me to come on board and I took her up on the offer.

Here is my latest mini kit and it’s only $1. My graphics can be used for digital scrapbook pages, journal pages, greeting cards and other projects. All elements are created at 300ppi for quality printing. Sized 12×12 inches, the papers can easily be resized or cropped to suit your needs. Click on photo to purchase Tulip Garden:

Recently, through my camera lens I noticed faded, yet determined, fall leaves clinging to tree limbs totally oblivious to a new season of cheerful daffodils pushing defiantly through the ground directly below.
