Hi There!
In this post....an update and an old link list for ribbon ideas that I had mostly saved as a draft (no time to stamp) :O( *WEEP!*
The update: I've been missing You all like crazy! Your kind thoughts have been such a boon in my quest to remedy my health issues, and some big-time housing issues to boot. Thank You for being so very very wonderful!
Everything is looking WAY up. We've found a new healthier home, where I look forward to less of these debilitating headaches, getting my energy back, & breathing properly again. (I've been worrying that it's been the damp'n'dank basement suite we live in. I'm terribly allergic to musty schtuffs.) Soooh, I'll be packing for the rest of the year, LOL (Boy, do we have oodles of stuff!) but I'll also posting as often as I can, 'cause man oh man do I ever miss Yous!
Our new place is so bright and lovely (no more Hobbit hole for us, LOL.) It even has a...... (drum roll please)...........Stamp Room!!!!! My very first one! :O)!!!!! <--- [those exclamation points are symbolic of me jumping up and down ecstatically (and performing the funky dance of JOY!) Only I have a few more curves and wobbly bits than an exclamation point (which is why the free gym at the new condo is a great perk too! hehehe)]
I can't thank you enough for your patience and support. To all of you who celebrate Christmas or any Holiday or any Tradition this time of year (and to those that don't, too!) I hope your days are brimming with love and laughter and warmth of spirit.
Much Love,
:O)
Mel

First of all and most important, congrats on finding a healthier place to live and breathe. I have a lot of the same environmental probs and they're so annoying. Hope it helps!! And yippee for you on your stamping room, I love mine and think everyone that does this wonderful craft deserves to have one! So happy for you!! I wish I had a free gym, too...'cause my exclamation points are much curvier, too!!! LOL Merry Christmas!!

Mel, As a migraine sufferer myself I can understand how you must feel. You and your health come first so take care and worry about yourself first and us second. LOL.
Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2009 and yournew home and stamp room. I appreciate everything you do for us.
how exciting for you! we have room to build a loft, but money is a issue. I'm still going to have "wish ful" thinking for the new year though!
Congrats on your new stamping room, that is SO exciting :)
Hooray! I am very happy for you Mel! Glad you will live in a better home for you!
Thank you for sharing the links!
Happy Holidays to you too!
Congratulations Mel! So happy for you! Thanks for the links too.
Congratulations!
Thanks for the links
So glad you are feeling better and have found a healthier home. (WITH A STAMP ROOM!!) Merry CHRISTmas. WandaG_CT
YAY MEL!!!! I am so happy for you. A bright and healthy place to live with a stamping room!!!!!! You must be in heaven . . . . .
I take it you are moving fairly soon if you are packing already. That is AWESOME - a fantastic Christmas gift to be sure.
Enjoy, enjoy and have a very Merry Christmas!
CONGRATULATIONS..ON MY WAY TO LOOK UP YOUR CHICKEN POT PIE RECIPE, LOVE LADY
Thats the best news Ive had for ages!! Im soooooooooo pleased for you both. Here's to a very Happy and Healthy new Year! wooooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Happy Happy Christmas to you and Charles! xxx ps thanks for the ribbon storage ideas I have way too much!!
I am so happy you are getting a healthier place too and even more excited about your very own stamping room! I can't wait for the pictures. Have fun! Renee
What a relief for you to be living in a sunny, bright place where you shouldn't have mold and mildew bothering you.
I wish you good health in the coming year.
Mel - so pleased you've found somewhere better to live... and a Stamp Room! Oh my!!
Have a lovely Christmas and jolly packing to you!! All the best for 2009 xoxoxo
Hi Mel,
So glad you are back and feeling better just in time for Christmas!!! What fantastic news...new place and a stamp room. Wow....what I wouldn't do for a room of my own.
Take care and thanks so much for all your inspirations and have a wonderful holiday filled with happy times and special memories.
Karen
Congrats! So glad you are getting a stamp room... With your talent it is much deserved and something that is better for your physically is always a good thing. :)
Hi Mel, glad you are taking things in your hands and getting better!! While packing is no fun, you'll get a new start :)
Just the other day I stumbled upon a great ribbon storage solution by Nicole, may want to add that to your terrific list!
happy holidays!!
I'm positive you will feel better when you get away from the mustiness which likely is mold. My sister had the same problem with black mold in her house and it caused her to have serious illnesses for 4 years. She had bronchitis, pneumonia, croup, you name it. Infections constantly. She was too sick to work. She moved and had NO more since. Happy to hear you'll have a stamp room too!
Yahoo three cheers for a healthier, happier, living space. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Ann Lind
Great to hear from you again Mel. wonderful news about your new place...it sounds wonderful. Thanks for the ribbon links.
Happy Holidays to you and yours
Heather
So happy for you. You will love having a dedicated space for your craftiness. The best part of a separate room? You can make a big ol' mess and if you're not done with a project you can close the door and no one has to see the mess until the project is done. The healthier home is great too. I made a similar move a few years ago.
Oh Mel! I'm so excited for your and Charles's new home!!!! And I can't wait (no pressure, though) to see pics, especially of your craft room! That is so wonderful!
I will surely be using these ribbon storage tips as my current system just is not working anymore! Thanks for sharing all of these links.
Hope you are feeling better for Christmas!
Hugs,
Catherine
delighted to hear your good news, love your blog and love all of these compiled ideas. You are amazing, all the best in the new home
Eileen(emcclean@telus.net)
CONGRATULATIONS on your new home! Such an AWESOME way to begin the new year! Hopefully it will definitely pay off in the way of better health for you and your fam!
Congrats on the new place! I'm looking forward to seeing the new creations it inspires. Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday and new year!
Congrats on the move. Happy to hear you are moving to a healthier place
: )
Glad you found a healthier place to live. I worked in a mold infested office for 5 years without know it and it made me very ill. Your will be surprised how well you will feel in about 6 months. It was a gradual recovery for me.
Mel I am so glad you have found a brighter, happier and healthier place to live. I must say that if anyone deserves a stamp space of her own it is you.
Hope you and yours have a hapy holiday season and that the new year brings you good health, love and peace.
Debbie
