Hello everyone!! It’s been such a long while, but I am back! Life has been super hectic around our house hold with everyday life. I hope everybody is enjoying this new year of 2019 and that you have made some positive changes in your life. I have recently discovered the joy and love of crafting! From sewing, to embroidery, to paper crafting, and vinyl cut designs. My husband, who I so graciously love, has spoiled me as such, and has bought me every little trinket my heart desires associated with this very expensive hobby. LOL!  I just recently bought the Brother Scan N Cut 2 C350, which is phenomenal! I also have a Brother SQ9285 sewing machine and an older brother PE-700II embroidery machine that I absolutely love. I have taken up to cutting out new adhesive vinyl designs, making heat transfer t-shirts and am attempting to make my first quilt for my nephew, who I will be seeing here very soon in April.

I also got a new live broadcast streaming webcam as a gift from my son( thank you doll, hugs) and have decided to start a new YouTube channel. My channel is called “Journei Beyond”,  wouldn’t you know?! For my first video I posted a review about the camera itself, including the audio and picture quality. If you’re interested in checking out this review you can find it at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lnbsH3mQ0E. It’s a pretty decent camera and was purchased for around $50. If you’re interested in buying the camera just go on Amazon and type in the name of the camera in the search bar and I’m sure it will come up. It is a pretty new camera that has just been listed so it doesn’t have very many reviews. Although, I did write a review about the camera and submitted it today, so it will take a few days to show up.

These past few months have been quite busy for our family and a lot of positive changes have occured in the lives of loved ones around us. There’s also been great sadness in our family circle as well, and my heart goes out in prayer and loving thoughts to those individuals. Life is a funny thing and we can’t always foresee the outcome or the obstacles that are in our path, but can only hope to overcome the difficulty challenges and rejoice in the good times. This is just a short little hello to let you all know that I’m back and I will be writing a lot more frequently. So I’d love to hear from you, leave some public posts on the blog, or you can send me an email of your thoughts at journeibeyond @gmail.com. Talk to you soon !!
