Hello Fellow Stampers ~
First, I want to apologize for not getting the Winner of my Mystery Blog Candy for this last week's Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop up on Friday like it was supposed to be.
Things have been a little chaotic and stressful around here the past 3 to 4 days; ever since things started to heighten with this Coronavirus epidemic and all that is going with that. Starting with our own stepped up awareness here at home, a stressful week at work where I was moving my office from one campus to another; worried that we get that done before the company might shut us down and tell us to work from home; and then starting to see the reaction of society around us and what was happening out our local grocery store(s) and other areas.
Then on Friday I went with my mom to a scheduled doctor's appointment with a heart surgeon. We have just learned that she has a murmur in her aortic valve; and the doctor informed us that he considers her to be in the "severe" category and he wants to do surgery on her by mid-April. Thus, she is now considered at her age (in her late 70's) to be in the "at risk" category for this virus, and he wants her to isolate at home and stay out of the public until we get her through this situation. Thus, I now have to be especially vigilant for my own health even more as I have to be healthy to care for her.
We've spent a great deal of time over these past 3 days dealing with the grocery situation and making sure that both her, and us here, have proper food in place (and I'm NOT talking about the horrific hoarding we're seeing going on), and just get her in a position that she is comfortable in her house; and we can "social distance" and quarantine to a certain level ourselves.
This has been difficult, stressful, and terribly upsetting. So please keep us all in your prayers.
In the meantime, our company has directed us late this afternoon to begin working with our managers to shift work schedules and work from home as much as possible - which is what I will be doing for the foreseen future. So now that we're settling into being home 24/7 and only going out as needed, I think I can shift my focus back to the Studio, and other daily tasks. I hope to get back to some sort of schedule tomorrow morning!
So without further ado . . . let's reveal the Blog Candy, and then our Winner!!
I'm giving away two stamp sets - the Little Ladybug stamp set; and the Happy Birthday to You stamp set.
And then a 6" x 6" sampler of the Lily Impressions DSP, Golden Honey SDSP, & the Pleased As Punch DSP.
Finally, included is one of the Baker's Twine/Sequin bundles - that is no longer available! Yeah! So fun!
