March Winners Post DELAYED


Hey, STAMPlorations friends. I know many of you eagerly look out for the winners post every 10th of the month. My apologies but that post is delayed.

The last 2 1/2 weeks, a family member has been ill (no, it's not Covid-19, but it's serious enough to require angioplasty and stenting) and I have been stretched thin, barely getting any rest and sleep, as I had to pile on more on my plate to keep the Russ household running on top of managing the business and taking care of 2 extremely active little girls (who always seem to come up with things that make me want to pull my hair out every single day).

I thought I'd be able to get the winners post done before midnight tonight but I'm running on empty. I'm just wiped out and desperately need rest and sleep.

So...the March winners post will be published either on Monday (4/12) or Tuesday (4/13), depending on how I do on the rest/sleep department in the next couple of days. The deadline for claiming prizes will be adjusted accordingly. Plus, you have until Sunday night to comment on the March posts for more chances at our prizes. (Commenting usually closes on the 8th but I'm extending it this one time.)

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

    Oh my gosh, please do not give a thought!!! That is the last thing you should be worrying about. I hope that things go well for your family member, and I hope that you are able to get some rest. Is there someone who can watch your girls for a little while so you can decompress? If I lived near you, I would happily watch them. Be good to yourself...

    Thank you all, ladies, for your prayers, well wishes, and again, for your patience and understanding! My MIL is recovering but she has a lot of restrictions by way of physical activities for the next several weeks. My in-laws live with us and it's honestly a wonderful thing because my girls are with their grandparents all the time -- no need to visit! It's simply been very stressful when it took about 2 weeks to get my MIL in for her procedure; she was having these little attacks every day for almost 2 weeks and it was downright scary. Now that she's no longer having the attacks, we can rest a little easier and I can try to get a little more than a couple of hours of sleep :o)
