Hello Everyone....yes I know that February has come and gone! I failed to keep up with my words for each month. So, I wanted to do a catch up post...my word for February was love! It was a wonderful month for me. I was able to get a whole lot done with my crafting...of which the second definition applies in this case. I absolutely have a great interest in cardmaking, crafting, and creating! I actually don't know what I would do without it.

My intense feeling of deep affections for my family are extremely important to me. I love being able to do things for my family. I am enjoying having the extra time to spend with my husband lately and looking forward to more quality time soon with the grandkids!

Thanks so taking the time to read and take interest in my catching up. Join me on Monday March 29th as I wrap up the month of March with March's word for the month.

A Brand New Look to go with a Brand New Adventure

Well, here it is 2021! I am so very excited to bring you a new look for my blog as well as a new adventure with me! 

I wanted to spend a few minutes with you and share what is happening with me for this year and a bit of what transpired last year. I am not going to spend any time focusing on last year and how it was difficult or anything cause we all know that. Rather, I would like to share with you what I learned, or actually was reminded of. Once again, I was reminded life is short...and I do mean short!  Through this National Pandemic we across our country have experienced I was reminded I need to be spending as much time with loved ones as I can. Especially those I love most! My hubby is retired, so I decided to completely join him. I retired very early (at 55) from teaching school and was only retired for a year before I opened the Scrapping for Less business. This year taught me it is time to make life in our latter years about  spending time doing what we love: for me that is spending quality time with hubby and family, and crafting!

So, I closed up the business and retired! And boy am I going to enjoy this!

Ok, onto what is happening crafty wise for the new year! I have changed the YouTube channel name to reflect the same name as my blog Fresh and Renewed with Teresa. You will see lots of crafting and collabs on my YouTube channel as well as updates from time to time. 

I wanted to pick a word for the year this year but as I reflected on myself and my personality, I decided to do a word of the month. I will do a weekly blog update on how the progress or reality of that word is impacting my life for that month. 

For the month of January I chose to use a word from my blog title and have chosen the word renewed. 

I feel like I have fresh life this week  in looking at a brand new year, having the strength to embark on this new adventure and also feel revived again to bring my crafting to a new level. 

Thanks so much for spending some time with me today!
