so glad to hear that you are well...and that you are taking the time needed to spend with your grandmother......don't worry about all of us.....we appreciate what you are facing now and a missed sketch challenge or two will not shatter the earth.......but not taking the time with family can do so.....so.....take all the time you need and know that there are many who are supporting you spiritually.....feel those good thoughts....
I often get PM'd asking if I've heard from her and I know nothing more than anyone else. Her profile shows her last visit was the date she replied to this thread.
I sent out a couple RAKs but never heard back. I just got request to send her another one yesterday. Having someone close to you going through an illness can take up much of your time! We can only hope all is going well!
She did a great thing getting the sketch challenge started and we should all appreciate the time and effort she put into it each week. It does take time and she gave to it so freely and also held down a job!
I happened into her gallery last night and thought gee I haven't seen her name in a long time so I did a search and found this thread. She hasn't been on since January - anyone know how she's doing?

I was just wondering if there's been any word on Andrea. I was getting ready to do the RAK challenge and was going to send her one. I checked her last activity date and it was in January. I hope she's allright.
Anyone remember me?!?! I'm the missing Andrea!
Here has been my year in a nutshell... Jan-April I took care of my sick grandmother. She was doing better in April. During all of this my husband and I started having even more problems. During May we began divorce proceedings. May to July I was alternating between home, my parents house, and my best friends house; sometimes spending the night somewhere different 7 day in a row. In July I had to take a trip for work...came home and my soon to be ex had taken all of my things while I was gone. July and August I stayed in the completely empty house (only thing left was couch and dishes). September I moved back in with my parents and have been here ever since. I have been working TONS of hours trying to get the money to try to put my life back together and get things replaced...like my computer, which I just got! Grandma took another turn right around September also so I've been spending lots of time taking care of her.
Anywho, I am SO GLAD the sketch challenges are still going strong and people are so excited about them. I just went through them and there is some great work going on. I havent made a card in a year:( (cries) but I am finally getting my life in some sort of order and not working so much, hopefully I will be able to start stamping more again. My creative brain needs some exercising! I'm going to stamp something right now.
You should be seeing and hearing more from me soon. I think I will go back and try to catch up on a few sketch challenges and work on some new ones!
