Welcome to my Blog Too or Two!

Oh my heavens, what a chore!  If you're here following the trail from facebook, Welcome!                                                                                                                      (purposely small and insignificant)

So if you aren't receiving my blog post in your email and you are interested in tagging along, it will be necessary for you to FOLLOW BY EMAIL!

FYI, I AM HOPING TO LEAVE facebook SOON!

& WILL NO LONGER HAVE MY PERSONAL OR GRACERECLAIMED PAGE there

Until now, most of you, I think, read my blog post when I share the link on my GraceReclaimed page there...Not going to be sharing there anymore.  We are breaking up ;)

Follow by Email Steps:

1. Type your email in Follow by Email box (top right or bottom of page, either works!) 

2. You may get an automatic pop-up to confirm your subscription from FeedBurner.  

3. Or you will receive an email from FeedBurner~GraceReclaimed.blogspot.com requiring activation!!!

4. Please follow the path, your design life may depend on it, just kidding!  Would love to see you there!

Hopefully it will be worth the steps and the move.  I only post on here once in a while and as much as I'd like to be a writer when I grow up; I think I'll stick to design creativity!  

I'll try not to bombard you with insignificant posts.  Always hoping to inspire and encourage!  I think we could all use some inspiring and some encouraging of late.

Thankful you're here!

Welcome all you weary people...

Wow what a year...

Wow what a year like this does to people...Are you weary? I know I am!

Wow what truth comes to light...definitely reveals who you can count on, thankful for so many of you!

Our family has been challenged like many, with job loss (my oldest ~ but again employed!), transition (our teacher couple ~ slaying it!), quarantine to base (our youngest ~ finally saw him in October!) and you know, just dealing with the "new normal",  goodness I hate that term.

And while I'm at it, I HATE MASKS!  I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA!  I HATE LOSING TOUCH!

But I am also forever grateful and praising our Heavenly Father, for we are all healthy & faring well!

YES I am weary, but always hopeful.  I pray the same for you, every last one of you!

This blogger platform is an area of social media I'm still fond of, but as usual ignore during my "designing months".  And yes, thank goodness, I've been working quite steadily on two major new builds; one on Lake Conroe, one just around the corner in Tomball with a few other projects scattered in and keeping me busy.  

Just a few pics for now.  On the Lake...





And just around the corner, well maybe two...


"Busy is good, right?", says the supposed to be retiring me ~ "Maybe next year", she responds.

So here it is, a bit past my usual Trunk Show planning and announcing time and I'm thinking maybe I can cram in one last show, one last sharing of the beautiful Christmas Season.  Of course the sensible side of me (yes there is on :) speaks up and says "Are you Crazy?"  RESPONSE UNNECESSARY! 

So this may go down as the Last Year that Wasn't!  DarndeCovid!!   

Forever HOPEFUL and most likely LAST MINUTE...If you are following the blog after my departure from good old FB...I might just pull one out of my Stocking Hat.

Stay tuned my precious people, stay well and have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving!

Hope to see you in December!!

Most sincerely and in His wonderfully gracious care, B
