Yeah, that's right. I haven't been around because...*drumroll*...I've been sick with the cold for the past week, and it ain't quite over yet!
So pardon my non-responsiveness, but I will be more active soon!

I also had quite a few projects/gifts that had me swamped (and stressed) last month, but most of that is done, and I'm a bit more relaxed, meaning the art and crafts that I'm working on are more enjoyable now rather than the stressful chore they seemed to be last month. <-- Wow, what a run-on sentence! I'm working on beaded flowers to attatch to hair combs, and so far they look quite pretty, but they'll be posted on my jewelry/accessory account when finished.

I have a couple of things I'm working on for my brother's b'day next week. One is almost done, the other won't take long. Then, next month is my dad's b'day, and I have something in mind for that, too. Also, this week, I have to bake my cookies for Valentine's day! Since my sugar-cookie hearts were well-loved last year, I'm going to do shortbread shaped with my small gingerbread cutter, and put icing hearts on their chests. (Hope that made sense). And, of course, half the batch will be chocolate shortbread, because, like me, my nephew is a chocolate fiend.
Also, I'll be baking and decorating the cake for my brother's b'day next week, but I can't describe what I'm gonna do, as he is ~suave777 , and could see this journal!

Anyways, I just thought I'd let everyone know why I'm not around, and I'm not going to sit and go through stuff now, I just happened to have a few minutes here where I can breathe AND my throat isn't so dry! Also, I'm awake, and I don't feel like my neck can't hold up my head. lol Aw, being sick. I'm glad I only get it once a year...on rare occasions, I'll get a dreaded summer cold as well, but I hope that's not this year!!!!

Ok, I've rambled on enough. I hope you're all doing very well!
