Well Hello there!

 It has been a while since I have posted anything ... and I am determined to catch up!
 I recently took a month off to drive with my oldest daughter to Seattle, Washington, where she will take up residency and start school. Soon, I will be traveling to Michigan to visit my youngest who moved to also attend school. So now I am considered to be an EMPTY NESTER!
What does that really mean? Well... I am still trying to figure it out. I have redone the two rooms my girls were in, and almost ready to transform our former game room into an office for my husband.
So as you can see, there are lots of changes going on around here.
I am determined as I said to catch up on projects and other things that have been avoiding due to priorities-my girls.
I have lots of pictures to post and lots of items that are available at Grammy's House, formally known as Party At My House located in Brandon off of Parsons. You can also visit my facebook page online craftsbydarlene/
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to a fun filled year and lots of crafting!

Close To My Heart

After much long debate, I have decided at the end of December to become inactive with Close To My Heart. It saddens me, but with recent family health issues, I have decided that I need to concentrate on helping out with family members. If you are in need of anything between now and then, you can still visit my website until Dec. 31, 2013. I appreciate all of your support over the last year and a half and look forward to continuing my crafting adventures on my own.
If after the end of the year you find yourself in need of product, please contact me and I will put you in contact with a reliable consultant. Thanks again for your support. Have a Very Merry Christmas and  a Happy New Year.
