Okay I know it has been a long time since I posted, however those of you who know me have a clue what I have been going though. I just had started this blog and all went haywire in life. Just in short, my husband was ill for quite sometime and we did not know what it was and went though 7 months of junk to find out it was prostrate cancer. Once they did the biopsy we had to wait 8 weeks before they could do the surgery to remove the cancer. He had the cancer removed by robotic surgery. December was a tough month. Christmas was not traditional at our house at all. Christmas eve is when he had to go in and have all of the staples removed and the tubes. The rest of the day into the eve was resting for him. Quite different for us. We have my family over on Christmas eve and Christmas morn we have our children and the grandkids, then we clean that up and have his family in the afternoon. Not this year. He is still mending and has had some infection come up and his one area has opened and he has a long time to heal that wound.

So if that was not enough we had our daughter who has been pregnant and was told that her baby would not make it. If the baby was born alive it would not last long. So it has been a lot of testing and having lots of ultra sounds. When I say lots, I mean lots, we are talking I am filling a whole book of pictures. However all is fine we have a beautiful baby girl. 6pds 1 oz 18 1/2 inches. So much for all the test.

Parents are still not doing great. So there ya have it, I have been very busy and don't care to see the inside of a hospital for a while!!!!!

On a great note, I did have time to make the cutest little books for the little girls in the family and a few friends kids and they have been a hit. Just think what I could do if I tried. Things that make ya say Huh?

I also had the pleasure to take a class with Lance Anderson from Rusty Pickle up in Pine City. I loved it. I had taken a class with Lance in Chicago when I went to CKU. If you ever get the chance take a class from Rusty Pickle, its fun.

So with a of that to take in I will sign off for now but I promise I will be on more and putting some pictures up soon.

Till then bye.

Just another day

Well I have been very busy, the past few days. I have been working on a few things. I have done a cute little pail, very easy. Picked up the pail at Target (2 for $1) then just put paper around it and added blackboard covered with blackboard sticker from Cosmo Cricket. Added a clip and wrapped a wire around a star from the blackboard, tied some ribbon and that is it. Fast and fun.

Also from Cosmo Cricket paper line Haunted I have done a fun little book. Just for fun I have just added some quotes and sayings all having to do with Halloween. I really had fun doing this book. I love the style of Tim Holtz and I feel this book has a little of that style. I did use his distress inks and grungeboard, also distress crackle paint and tonic distresser for edges. Just a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy.

I have also been working on some Christmas items for a monthly book club I am involved in. I am having fun doing this monthly. It makes me go outside of my comfort zone.

I will attempt to post some pictures again. Until next time, go create and have a great time doing it.

Here goes nothing!

This is my very first post and I'm not sure how this is gonna go, so please go easy on me. I wanted to start this blog so that I could share some of my Art? Or some of it I could just call stuff. I will tell you that I am a stay at home wife with kids that are out of the house. So what this means is that I can sit play and have fun all day. (As long as the laundry is done, house is cleaned, dogs are fed, birds are fed, fish are fed, and I have supplies, or its a trip to my favorite LSS.)


I will try to post things I am working on and things I have done. I am just learning this blog thing and will do the best I can. I am sure I will get better as time goes on. So I am going to sign off here and try to put a few pictures up for you.


Have a Great Day!
