Health update

I have not posted in a number of days, I am not doing well again. I have tried to visit some of you and leave comments, but I am so behind on that as well as making cards. I just don't have it in me to do much right now.
You know as soon as I am up to it, I will be back with some creations!
Thanks for your hugs and support!

Summer!

Happy Sunday stampers!

A little summer fun with some sailboats, crabs and such is on the menu today!

Hoping your summer is going great and you are having a splash! The ocean is still a bit nippy at 69 degrees! I like it about 75 degrees thank you very much! Maybe by mid August it'll be warming up! It is so good for me to walk along the waters edge and check out the frequently seen dolphins.

Hubby and I need to plan a beach picnic soon, my daughter Heidi lives a block from the beach, so easy parking to a somewhat private beach.

Thank you!

Cherries! I love cheeries!

Happy Saturday afternoon to you! I hope you are all having a good one! Gorgeous pleasant temps here are just about 80 degrees with an ocean breeze, just right for reading a book on the deck today.

Just a little post to share this cherry thank you card with you! I have been enjoying the summer cherries so much, and I had this cute paper from last summer. So using it up I am trying to do! I am making some post pad covers with the paper too! I will share my array of post pads when I finished up this batch!

Surprise

Happy Friday stampers!

This month is flying by already! I think Christmas cards are in order very soon! OMG! Did I really say that?

Just thinking of the stress of the holidays is enough to put me right over the edge! (Even further) LOL! Ha Ha!

So for now in the moment of July 11, I share with you a cute card I made from a set by TAC Designs (thanks aloha Jen)! This is the first time I have inked it up! Love this hula sweetie!

I used my Marvy circle scallop punch for my window, and stamped the hula gal on the scallop itself. Placed it directly behind the circle on the inside of the card, you know the drill! The yummy blossom paper is of course from SU! (last catalog). I only have one sheet left! Oh no! I used Berry Sorbet from PTI, and the card stock is also PTI. I colored her with Copics, added some Dew Drops on the flowers and used Prismacolored pencils for her hair and skin. Soft chalks for her rosie cheeks. I also stamped a flower border on the inside, I didn't color it, I left it plain(forgot to post picture of inside). I found the Surprise vellum in my stash and thought it would be good with the way her hand is up to her mouth!

I added the Prima layers and MM mini brads, and now looking at it, I should have added one more layer of Prima's. Design rule , I know better, odd numbers for groupings! Oh well, I will add them, there is room in the corner. Ribbon by the yard-Michael's.

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend! All of the Calgary gals, have fun at the Stampede, I hope you all survive! (wink)! I loved the gorgeous carriages, they are amazing! Yummy burgers too! Calgary (Alberta) beef is tops!

Thanks for stoppin by! Blessings,

Heaven can wait

Hello! Quite the week indeed!

I am back home from the hospital now, (thank God for private rooms) weary and worn out, but happy to be home! I am off the pain meds now, and thankful for that too! Thank you for your expressed concerns, blessings and well wishes! It means so much to me!

As I put for my title, Heaven can wait, well that is just the way I feel! So onward with my challenges and perseverance with regard to my serious health issues.

I couldn't wait to finish a card I had started before...so I am quite pleased to be able to share it with you today! I received this darling Sugar Nellie stamp all the way from Scotland! It was very cool! They were kind enough to add in the darling circle sentiment as well! I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did creating it!

Happy Fourth of July weekend to all!

Many sincere blessings to and all of the troops that provide our precious freedom!

Thanks for stopping by to check on me!

In the hospital

Hi, this is Debbie's daughter posting. I just wanted to let all of my Mom's wonderful readers know that my mom was hospitalized yesterday. She was in a lot of pain. I spoke with her this morning and she was in good spirits.

Take care.
