I know it's been a few days of me missing in action on my blog. There's been nothing new to report in the job search for Barry and I think it's finally getting me down. Four months seems like a lifetime of him home with me. I do know others who have been searching longer, and these days nothing is safe, but still, it seems to be dragging me down lately with it. When you feel down, do you lose your MOJO? Mine seems to have taken a holiday this week. I think I've gotten one or two cards completed. Most seem just in need of something. I have a large pile of "need to finish" cards growing on my desk. Oh well...tonight we're going to visit my friend Gretchen and here hubby for birthday dinner. My birthday was Thursday. We had pizza with the kids and I got some much needed gift certificates from them. I got so many emails and cards from friends with well wishes and I thank you all.
This is a card I made about a month ago and never shared. I used some Bella Rose paper from SU and a Verve stamp set. It turned out so pretty.
Well, I'm off to read the morning paper. One of things I like to do on Sunday. See what I'm not spending my money on this week. Have a great day!
I'm so sorry Paula, about Barry not finding a job yet & about the stress it's putting you under. It just stinks!! Sorry I missed your birthday ~~ happy belated!!

I am so sorry about your loss of MOJO. Yes, it does affect that and everything else. Called depression. I know from past experience. I lost my career and then my husband. So, I said a prayer for you, and since I am still here and gaining strength all the time, I feel like I must have a straight line to Him. I feel that Barry will have success soon and that your lives will be back on track. I will pray every day until they are! Who knows, maybe I can offer a glimmer of happiness into your day, at least! Cheer up, make a card for someone special: Barry. Linda Crowder

A P.S. Your beautiful card was still loading as I sent that last comment. Girlfriend, this card was made for YOU> take your own advice! I love this card. It is absolutely beautiful! I know in my heart that you have the power to recover your MOJO if you can make cards like this one!
