Hello crafting friends. I hope that you are all staying safe and well in this crazy world we're living in right now.
I feel like once again I need to apologise for not returning all the love you have left on my blog.
March was such a crazy month for us. It started well during the first week of March, then it critically derailed.
The first week had us debating whether to cancel the trip we had planned since last October. We were supposed to have gone overseas for most of the month of March with the main intention of celebrating my mom's 85th birthday. For all the obvious reasons, we decided to cancel the trip and although we're sorry we missed her birthday, we know that we made the right decision.
From there it's been a major uphill fight with our travel agent to get any money back. They feel we cancelled our trip when Portugal was still on the safe travel list and therefore, they're not liable for any refunds. Even the travel insurance company won't help us, as we were not hospitalized at the time. Well, thank God for that! In any case, as things stand, we would not have been able to have returned at the end of March. So the fight continues ....
The main reason I have not been around to everyone's blogs, is that I have been very busy helping my daughter, Samantha, make masks. She's had loads and loads of requests. As you know I really dislike sewing, so I'm helping by cutting the material and then she is puts them together. She has obviously gotten her love for sewing from her granny (my mom) It definitely skipped a generation :-) She still has loads more to make, although we've completely run out of elastic. At this point in time, I'm thinking that the elastic has taken walk with the toilet paper!
Having mentioned this, let me share a card with you from a very talented bloggie friend, Olga Direktorenko from Building your World. It definitely put a smile on my face 😀
Well, dear friends, I will try to come around and visit your blogs as soon as I can, that much I can promise you. Take care and stay safe and well.
Big crafty hugs,
Thank you and Samantha for doing what you're doing. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good decision not to travel Lena, I am sure your Mum would rather you were all safe than stranded so far away from home. I wish you well with your Travel Agent issues, they surely must see that it was a valid reason not to continue your trip. Well done to your Daughter...and you for your important support in making masks xx
