Weather Disaster in Alabama: Away for awhile

I am sure most of you know we had some major weather and tornados in Alabama yesterday.  We are completely without power and not expected to get it back until possibly Tuesday.  My  home and my family's home is okay and did not get damaged, but there is a lot of damage and many people around here who lost everything. 

We have relocated to my grandparent's house in Tennessee and will be here until the power comes back.  I have no crafting supplies and limited internet, so will probably not be around for the rest of the week and into next week much.

Keep Northern Alabama in your prayers and I will be back when I am able.

    Oh Jean, I am so sorry! So thankful you and your family is ok. After all the damage I witnessed in Fayetteville a week and a half ago I can imagine the people of Alabama really need our prayers.

    Hugs,
