updating the blog

Hi All,
it has been a long time since I have updated my blog and I am sorry. Life has just been to crazy and busy as I was having a lot of medical issues and come to find out they were all related to a fibriod and one of the worst kinds! Go figure! So I had my hysterectomy earlier than I first wanted to so that I could be relieved of all the pain I was having. So now after surgery I am feeling better but will still take a while on some of the issues as it is related to low blood count and will take a while to ge tthat back up. Luckily I was not low enough to need a transfusion, I am just on more meds to try and raise it faster. The side pain I had so bad seems to be dissappearing already which is good because that was so hard to deal with everyday! Mostly it is the surgery pain I am dealing with now and the swelling, but as the swelling is going down I am feeling more of the surgery pain. So I rest as much as I can since I have nothing pressing to do and I also do get up and walk around or find something to putt around with, but mostly do nothing. As many of you know that is hard for me not to be multitasking so it is a good thing the pain meds are keeping me so tired that I really don't feel like doing anything other than napping. So since I have nothing to do, I will be uploading all the pictures I have taken lately and you can be updated on what else has been going on since life just didn't stop for me when I was hurting! So maybe see you in a day or 2 with some updates. Till then, enjoy your summer weather we are having!!!!

May stamp camp cards

These are the cards for May, trust me you will love them in person!!!! The birthday one here is using the flower brads and rhinestones and looks so much better in person! All cards will be awesome, I promise. We made them all in NJ, so you can have the experience also! Hope to see you there?

projects and technique for May

Here is the project for May, you get to make 2, 1 of each design, then you have 1 for you and 1 to share, hope you can make it, the girls in NJ loved them so I know you will also! Make great picture frames or can add magnet to the back and put the frames on your fridge!
Technique is the inlaid embossing technique, so easy but great looking at the same time, hope you can make it for this technique also!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you enjoyed the holiday! We drew on the driveway a few days before, and unfortunately it rained, but the Easter bunny found us anyway!
So since I wrote the above note, Katelin wrote this note, does she try to suck up or what????

The Easter bunny had a hard job hiding all the eggs around the house, can you help her find them in these pics??? Oh and notice, the NEW furniture too! We just love it but have found out that it attracts the dog hair, but I won't take it back, we can live with vacuuming everyday right?

here is katelins collention so far, but I bet she had many more to look for as she had to find 50 of them!

so cute right? this is what I get when she just wakes up and yes, I had to wake her up to see if she wanted to see what the Easter bunny brought, she enjoyed everything and even got concert tickets to see Sugarland in June. Then as we did as kids, we had to hide the eggs a few more times, then we watched movies and then went to the movies to see Rio. It was funny, and a great way to spend the day!

Our NJ trip!

Here is a few samples of our hard work we did that weekend! But a lot of fun was had too, read the next few posts!!!
This first sample we will be making in the May stamp camp that is May 12th, the 15th, ( sunday) and the 16th
