Thank You For Your Patience & Understanding

In Today’s Blog Post—Friends, I usually keep my stamping blog posts all about stamping, but with all of my sporadic posting, rescheduled classes and unexpected hiatuses, I thought I should give you another personal update.
This Past Week—I was sick again last week and had to reschedule my Too Cool Team Meeting and upcoming Lovely & Beautiful class video release. I absolutely hate when I cannot live up to my commitments and unfortunately, I’ve not been able to be very consistent with my stamping for awhile now.
I’m Not Going Anywhere—First, let me reassure you that I have no intention of going anywhere!
Health Update—I have had a very unbelievable streak of minor sicknesses over the past 6 months, mostly brought home to me from the preschool petri dish. Nothing serious: cold, flu, Covid and a food poisoning incident thrown in there, too. It’s the sheer number that has been remarkable! 11 times. That’s getting sick about every 2-3 weeks since the start of the school year. It’s been absolutely brutal!
Unfortunately, each time I get sick, I’m off work during the illness and recovery for several days. That throws my planned stamping schedule behind, and more importantly, it throws my whole family routine off, too. That means more time to catch up and get my family and business back on track.
And, being hit with illness after illness has made it more difficult to recover each time. I haven’t gotten much of a chance to get back to full strength before I’m knocked back down. I’m weaker after each episode and feeling a bit more mentally defeated each time, too, to be honest.
Bottom Line—I’m struggling (once again) to get back up to speed…and I have every intention of doing so! Thank you so much for your continued patience & understanding as I slowly keep pushing forward, taking care of myself along the way. Your supportive words & loving prayers are greatly appreciated.
Coming Soon—I’ll be working on my Team Event this week and hopefully will have my Lovely & Beautiful Class ready to share sometime next week. Until then, you can continue earning a FREE class kit as detailed below.

Dear Angie,
I am so sorry to hear about your rounds of sicknesses! I know how difficult it is to manage family, job, stamping commitments (I too am a demo), and I have had surgeries from which I am still recovering. I can’t get out from under everything that has piled up for 3 years! The piles are the worst. Sorry for going on so much…
I love your blog, and I know you will get it going again. First take care of yourself. The rest will be fine.
I look forward to hearing you are all better, and then your beautiful cards will be back.
One day at a time!
Hi Angie….it has been a wild year for illnesses. I am a teacher and have been sick like you since Thanksgiving. It has been so hard. Keep taking care of yourself and heal….Take it one day at a time!
Has been a awful year for sickness. Something in the air we breath?I love your site. Get well soon Angie. 😘
Take it one day at a time and be good to yourself to get back to your normal. It takes time and I wish you the best.
Dear Angie,
So sorry to hear about all your illnesses. First priority is to take care of yourself!!! We all understand and support you. Your creativity is fabulous whenever we get it. Know we miss you when your are away from your videos and email…but, we totally understand. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please take care of YOU! I am a hobby demonstrator but as I age, I have not been very active. I am so sorry about all of your down time but it’s important to take care of yourself. I really enjoy seeing the cards you are making. Please keep up with all the great ideas, I love seeing them!
Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat, take care of yourself & we’ll wait for you, I for one am not going anywhere. Get plenty of fluids & try to rest, if you know what that means, lol.

Sorry to hear that you have experienced sickness the past couple of weeks. I myself have been not feeling well. Just take it easy and rest up and only what is necessary. Sending healing prayers.
Hi Angie,
I’m so sorry for all of the sickness that has been traveling through your family recently.
When my son was in pre-school, there was so many bugs brought home I couldn’t believe it, we had never been so sick in our lives! But by the time kindergarten arrived, things evened out and everyone’s immunity got stronger.
Sending healing prayers to you and your family!
