Best of Intentions

 Somehow when I started my Blog I had all the time in the world.  It took me months to figure out how to set it up.  I didn't even know what a Blog was and really hadn't ever even seen one, I'm not exactly Internet savvy!  But after visiting a few of these brilliant Blogs and meeting some of the nicest and most talented people, I wanted to start and share my own site, so with nothing but determination I started "Pendra's Place".  I joined in a couple of Challenge sites and was really getting into it!  I am disabled and no longer work outside of the home, crafting, scrapping, knitting, crocheting, sewing and painting are my passions and this Blog opened up a whole new world to me.  I literally was talking to people around the World!  I was learning new things every day, being challenged in a way I haven't been since I worked... it was great for me, even my husband noticed a change!

  When my Mother became ill, I went and stayed at her and my Sister's home to help care for her, until her death (Breast cancer) in July of 2011.  My husband, at the same time had been laid off due to the economy, and after two years of unemployment he got a job! All his hard work finally paid off, and one year later he is now permanent and full time!  Now all of a sudden we are looking to buy a home. We are empty nester's and sold our BIG family home and have been renting the last 5 years to be near our Grandchildren... but now they are teenagers and have lives of their own so we decided it was time for us to buy another home, in the same area.  We have been married for 35 years and want a home just for the 2 of us and to start the next part of our journey together. 

I have to admit I have been dreaming of what my new craft room space will look like!  If you could start over, what advice would you give me?  What should I look for in a space?  Here's a few rooms I found on Pinterest that really got my attention!  I love the light and airy look of these rooms!  

I have to say I am a Shabby Chic kind of gal!

 Unfortunately house hunting leaves very little time for scrapping... although I love to visit everyone's Blogs, and I still will, I do believe it helps to keep me sane!  So look for my visit's and continue to visit me... I love the company!   I'll craft when I can, share when I can and visit often!  But with all the "BEST OF INTENTIONS" my Blog since the beginning, has taken a back seat to the rest of my life and it seems will do so for a little while longer... so I hope that you are patient and don't count me out just yet! 

Life will find me settled in a new house (and hopefully with a new scraproom) and ready to really start crafting and blogging again!
