I have an awesome husband....33 days til Chirstmas

So I am feeling much better today. I have such a wonderful husband!!! He has taken care of me so well...everything from cooking me food and making sure i eat the right things to rubbing me down with vicks and taking my temp. He has even been cleaning the house... he's been so amazing. I love him so much!!

Christmas is coming... I still haven't started shopping but I have at least started the cards, my niece was down this past weekend and she helped me with them. I am hoping there is enough made so i won't have to make anymore cause time is running out now, I have to address them all and have them in the mail in the next week or so. Yes I tend to panic and have anxiety over everything, its really stupid actually. I seem to go around finding stuff to worry and fret about LOL. I gotta keep telling myself to relax. It hasn't helped that I spent the last week in bed doing nothing productive at all, geez being sick is such a waste of time!!
Anyway, I hope to get a big chunk of my Christmas shopping done this Tuesday, and have the cards addressed by the end of next weekend, and hopefully the decorations up soon after that :)



Here are this years cards, aren't they cute :P

St!ll SICK

I honestly don't think I have ever been this sick~EVER! I have been sick in bed now for 6 days and still no sign of getting better. I managed to drag my butt to the clinic yesterday, got an xray and was prescribed some antibiotics. I got Pneumonia. How the heck did I get pneumonia?????? Seriously, I was surprised when the Dr said that was what I had, and then the xray confirmed it. I can definately truly understand how aweful the old folks feel now. If you didn't know, I work in a nursing home. I can't imagine being their age and having Pneumonia-how horrible it must be for them.

On the positive side--I have lost 5 lbs this week! LOL Always look at the bright side :)
“When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad…
You should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you’re really quite lucky!
Some people are much more…Oh, ever so much more…
Oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!” Dr Seuss

I am hoping I am feeling better enough tomorrow so that I can participate in the Dr Seuss Online crop over at Scrapbook Star this weekend. I love Dr Suess and I haven't scrapped in a while now. Even if I can just do one or 2 challenges, that would be great, but I'm not counting on it.

Have a happy scrappy weekend everyone!! Hope you are all well!!

a babygirl, pumpkins & friends...

Being true to my word, here are the 5 pages I did last night. I finally dug into that October Scrapbook star kit, I just needed the perfect pictures to use it with ;)
I didn't have any green paper to match so I painted a white piece, worked perfectly ;)







I also got the group shot from the crop at SS scrapped. Finally! I couldn't come up with a better title, but I love the way it turned out. Those flowers were an ingenious idea I came up with... I cut them with my "flower layers #3" sizzix die out of some plastic packaging and then inked them with alcohal inks. Never again will I throw out a package, the possibilities are endless X-D.



Thank you Jemma for the awesome sketch!! It was perfect for this LO <3

Time for a layout share...

Since its been a while since I have posted any pages, I thought I'd upload a bunch of my "recent" LO's for everyone to see. I am really getting the hang of those 8.5 x 11 pages, but still prefer the 12x12 size. I got 15 pages done for my trip album now yay! and would you believe my Granddaughter is only 10weeks old and already her album has 12 pages!!! [4 of which I completed tonight at a crop my friend had at her tea house] I know I have totally gone crazy scrapping her LOL...its the pink, its gotta be the pink!
I will be back tomorrow with the 5 pages I completed at the crop tonight...
