Hunk a Junk....product rant!!

Happy Sunday!! What a beautiful day we are having here in southern NJ!!
I am posting quickly today to discuss a certain crafting tool I have......the Chizzel-it. I got it several months ago on sale. I tried it....it sanded paper nicely. That was all I tried at the time. Then it went into a tool drawer where it was lost with all of my other "I have to have this" but I never use it tools! Well, I take it out to use it today and................it does not work!!! Ugh!! I got new batteries...........nothing. So....I used this one stinkin' time....and now it died. I would say it did not hold up well..............wouldn't you? Does anyone else have this tool? Did you have better results than I did? I would have to give this a big fat zero for reliability.
Well....that is my klip for the day. I thought I should let all of my fellow crafters know:)

Worlds Collide

I always said that my blog would be just about my paper crafting life....not my personal life. I did not want to stray too far off topic. But, i have not had as much time to post here...and it is due to my personal life.....so I guess the two have collided.
I will try to be brief. My parents live in Florida and I live in NJ. Two years ago my Mom had a stroke. While she did recover some, my Dad has been her caregiver. Now, my Dad has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has about a year left with us. I am trying to move them up here with me so I can care for them and my family.
That is the short of it. So...needless to say my blogging, as well as some other things have suffered. I have some jobs for clients to catch up on...and I will still be posting....but there might be small gaps in my posts. Thank you for understanding. If you beleive in the power of prayer as I do, please pray for me and my family. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
And now.......well soon.......back to the regularly scheduled blog!!
