Been going through some changes, all good, thanks to God.
My family is doing great. All of my kids are college students now and of course I was suffering the empty nest syndrome.
Recently I adopted three beautiful puppies: Luna, Principe and Pinky. They are just seven weeks old and a handful.
Still had time to work some of my projects, specially my Christmas cards, which were a big hit. Here are some pictures:
