As a few of you may have noticed,  I have been totally MIA and I’m sorry and I will explain in a few lines but  first I wanted to wish you all a very happy new year.  I hope that this coming year is your best year yet. I hope you get to spend it with those you love and doing what you love. 
I am hoping to try do a project pan this year.  Have you ever  participated in a ‘Project Pan’?   Do you have any tips for someone doing their first ‘Project Pan’? I would love to know , so leave your tips down in the comments

Now a little explanation to my much delayed absence.  The Monday  after Thanksgiving, I was to have what we thought as a ‘tune-up’ surgery to trim the rod in my lower left leg.  Well  that ‘tune-up’ surgery  that should have taken an hour and a half, two hours max, became four hours.  And trimming the rod turned into, basically, the rebuilding of my lower left leg. Now my left lower leg which has been bowed for as long as I can recall is now straight.  So, yay with that I guess. 

I am hoping to be back in the next week or two at the latest.  Thank you so much for your continued love and support.  I’ll be talking to you soon!
