Macro Monday is here: Macro Monday 2  Thank you once again for playing along with me through the years.

I am now here: Always in Stitches

I won’t be posting here anymore but the blog will remain up for a while.

I almost ran over some morel mushrooms with the mower!  Instead, husband cut them up and had them with a steak.

If you haven’t made it over to my new blog you may not know that I have a new baby granddaughter now.  She was born on my 10th wedding anniversary, last Friday.  She’s perfect in every way!

I’m so thankful to tell you that Macro Monday will live on, you will find your new spot to link over on the new host’s website: Macro Monday 2  Thank you once again for playing along with me through the years.

Found these beauties along a trail we walked in Florida.  So happy looking!

This will be my last week hosting Macro Monday.  Thank you all for helping make it so successful!  Macro Monday will continue however, I’ll have her link for you next week, once she finishes the final touches and has the site up.

Important:  I will mostly be posting on Always in Stitches now.  Sharing Quilting, Knitting, etc.  But also my ramblings.  Less often I will be posting on The Trashy Turtle - it will be chronicling our experience building an earthship, we have just made an offer on a piece of land.

I started my blog March 2005 – the day we closed on a construction loan and broke ground. It was a place to share the house building process with our far away family. When I was diagnosed with cancer two weeks after moving into that house it was a place I ranted and cried through surgeries and chemo. My greatest support (outside of my husband) was the people I met through my blog – long before facebook. We went from a chaotic house with 5 teenagers to an empty nest through these years. We got our first, second, third, fourth and fifth grandchildren through these years. My blog helped find my husband’s oldest daughter. It helped celebrate 5 years cancer-free, living longer than I “should” have.  But I’ve been winding it down and this blog is almost done. Lisa’s Chaos, will be no more.

Facebook has changed the blogosphere.  I know I’m not alone in that feeling.  I miss the old days.  But just like real life, internet communication is always changing.  I don’t blog near like I used to, but I update my facebook page pretty much every day.  I would be happy to have you as a facebook friend.

Thank you SO much for always being here for me!  Hope to continue to chat with you on facebook or either/both of the new blogs.

My survivor tattoo got to grow this month.  I am celebrating 7 years cancer-free.  Yippee!   Intwined amongst the butterflies are little blue stars – each one representing my wedding anniversary.  This month is our 10 year, so now I have 10 twinkling stars.

When I stumbled upon this hermit crab it made me remember a time I vacationed with my grandparents along the gulf and brought home a bag of shells.  When we got home, I dumped the shells out on the porch to show my cousin and one started crawling away!  We both jumped screaming, lol.  Cut me some slack though, I was only 8 at the time.

Found these flowers on our trip. The warmth did follow us home, at least for a while. Now that I’m home I’m trying to finish up passing the torch. I had someone email while I was gone, hopefully she’s still interested, I have messaged her.
