halloween, halloween, halloween

happy weekend everyone!  my parents came in town, which was a lovely treat.  it's been so tense around here, so it was an even bigger treat to have some happy company.  so, i've been a little preoccupied with them...which is good:)  but i'm still creating and fitting halloween into my life over here!  i'll be adding a few ornaments and a wall girlie to the shop later tonight.

i know that i promised to share more details of what we've been dealing with and doing lately.  to be honest... we've been waiting on some important test results before i was ready to dive into the whole story with you guys.  my husband chris has been very sick... but is really on the mend and i feel we have turned a corner and are going to get good news.  there have been many people praying for him (thank you!!!) and i really do believe things are okay.  life can change in an instant... that's for sure.
i'll share more soon.  i appreciate those of you who are here!  you are amazing!  the way you just never give up on me!!!!  i am grateful to you all.  more than you will ever know.  xoxox...jenn

and...

p.s. i had too many things for the STJ update tonight, so this gal just scooted on over to the etsy shop.  "trick or treat my dear" :):)

i'm still here...

yes...i'm still here.  i don't know if there is even anyone left that will be checking here... but i'm here.  a few of you emailed me and some of you have still been following me on instagram and know what's been going on.  it's a long story and i promise to share more with you super soon.  it's been an overwhelming time.  i had to check out.  i kept up with the vintage shop a tiny bit... but that's about it.

i've felt completely guilty about ignoring my business... but it was just necessary.  i'm back to work and it feels great and i really wanted to show you peeks of some halloween goodies i made for the STJ update tonight.  it's been a couple months since i've joined in over at STJ and it feels good to be back!  if you happen to visit STJ (spookytime jingles) tonight... the site updates at midnight (EST).  we are entering that wonderful fall season and i'm hoping there will be lots of fun halloween work to admire.  see you soon.  i have back to school pictures, louie pictures and more to tell you soon.  xox...jenn
