Happy New Year!

Well, here it is 2014 and we are already off to a good start. Hubby retired from the Air Force earlier in 2013, and we are now in Iowa. He started a new job in November with Winnebago Industries and he's basically doing the same thing there that he was doing in the Air Force (Logistics). The only downer is the drive. He has to commute approximately 45 minutes each way. We are currently looking for a house somewhere in between his family and his job.

We had to pack up everything back in August and until we find a home, the Air Force has put all our belongings into storage. We did pack a UA (Unaccompanied Shipment), but since we are limited on weight, I still couldn't bring everything :( An Unaccompanied Shipment is a small shipment the military gives you that is usually shipped faster than your HHG (Household Goods). Since you are only allotted 500lbs, most people pack their bedding, some clothes, some dishes or whatever they deem necessary to tide them over at their new house until their HHG shows up. Since we knew we would be staying with his family, we opted to pack stuff to keep us busy rather than dishes LOL. Also, since I have my own Home Business, I was also allotted 500lbs. to keep my business going. I packed up some of the newer stamp sets I bought, my computer, my Silhouette Cameo, vinyl and some odds and ends. Yet, I still feel like I didn't bring anything LOL. I miss all my stuff so much!

I've done a few cards here and there, but for the most part my creativity is a bit stifled due to the move. I also made some signs for family and friends for Christmas. They all really liked them, which makes me happy, because I do love what I do. Now that the Holidays are over, I'm going to focus on making some card sets and signs to sell. We'll see how things go, so wish me luck. I will post some pics of the signs and cards I've done. Check out my Facebook Page Vagabond Stampin'...Enjoy and Keep On Craftin'!
