Cuttlebug swirls folder added just the right the touch using some cute pink paper!

Happy Saturday stampers! Santa is very busy these days, but I inked him up!

Santa is an extra element for Beate's challenge, but quite franlky I just don't have another card in me today! Back to bed to rest for me. I do like this one, hope it is okay Beate! I am thankful for having been able to create today! Huge!

I must say these Christmas cards are healing and delightful to me! I hope you like them too! I am starting to feel a little holiday spirit, perhaps DH can pull down some lovely decorations to start the home decorating! I point DH places item accordingly! LOL! He did promise me he would put the white lights up in the palm trees, I always love the way that looks at night, so California! So Santa is usually surfing on Christmas around here, I need a surfing Santa stamp for sure! Anyone know of any? I will do a search! Maybe Amuse? Or Inky Antics?

On another note, I am putting out a NURSE BELLA S.O.S.!!!! The nurses that took such great care of me at the hospital recently, are so deserving of a nice thank you card(s). Nurse Bella would be perfect! Does anyone have her? If so, I would very much appreciate some stamped images of her. Oh thanks everyone! I will keep my fingers crossed! (wink).

I always keep my commitments, it just a little bumpy in the road for me now. I need a new suspension! He he! Got to keep the humor going or I will be doomed! So, laugh, stamp, heal, stamp, rest, stamp and I will be good to go with the bumps! Darn those bumps! Thanks fellow bloggers!

Happy stampin'! Deb

No stampin' for a few days!

Not the best news...but in good hands!

I am sorry to say that my health took a rather painful turn in direction, thus I have landed a private room on the golf course with an ocean view at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla.

If you must be in a hospital, this is one of the best, so for that I am blessed indeed! Extensive tests and procedures are being done, and perhaps I may go home Monday if all goes okay.

I was so looking forward to Beate's weekend challenge and making cards these past few days! I have been in hospital since Thursday night. I received 2 units in a blood transfusion to help my low red cell blood count.

I am tough and trying to be as positive as possible! My daughters are at my side and my DH has been by with gorgeous Stargazer Lilies to fill my room with such a pleasant aroma.

Hope to back posting Monday, if I get out by then.

Happy stampin'! Deb

BACK HOME SAFE AND SOUND!

A card I made for Kimberly's birthday at Crafty Me.

Thank you all for you thoughtful concerned comments and prayers during my evacuation from the Witch Creek Fire (appropriately named). We are back in our home and there is no smoke damage! We are very blessed with regard to the devastation these fires produced and the many lost homes of friends and neighbors on our mountain and in our once, soon to be again beautiful valley.

The exit was a harrowing experience with winds over 65 mph, ambers and ash and smoke made it extremely difficult to breathe, let alone drive down a mountain road! A huge tree branch broke off right in front of me while leaving, I though this could be my demise, as the road was blocked! No other way out either! My angels were working overtime, as there was just barely enough room for me to get around the huge branch that had fallen! At 2 AM in the morning, I was exhausted and sick from the fire smoke and ash, as I attempted to head to a safer spot to rest until what available daylight would come. I must have dozed off crunched up in my front seat for about 45 minutes or so, when I woke up to 20 screeching firetrucks roaring by me! I couldn't see further than 10 feet! The ambers were awful, and then I knew the fire had blazed all the way down the mountain/valley and jumped the 10 lane freeway and was again upon me! I got the heck out of there just in the nick of time and made my exodus like many inching along the freeway to the ocean. I found a safe haven at my girlfriend's home by the coast where me and my 87 lb doggie stayed for one week! Meantime, DH was in Los Angeles working while his DW is in survival mode! Whew...that just plum wore me out ladies! No worries, the stamps ALL were packed as was all of my ink, ribbon, punches and as much paper as I could grab and fit in car! Treasured albums, my wedding scrapbook album, I adore! And of course, my laptop and PC hard drive! I grabbed as many pictures as I could of the kids when they were little and my DH's classic Fender electric guitar (of course) and a few documents! That was it!

My health has been compromised by this ordeal, my doctors have been fabulous and are doing their best to help me, I have the very best in their respective fields and believe me the is very reassuring! I have had immediate and ongoing care with the Scripps ClinicI go to for medical treatment in La Jolla, CA..

We have a powerful generator running, so as you can see I am online and able to keep the refrigerator on, lights and watch TV in the evening. I am using my propane BBQ for cooking. The water is not good to go- yet, a treatment plant was severely damaged, so it could be another week or so. Power poles are being replaced by helicopter on the steepest slopes of the mountain here, they are doing a great job! Hope to be up and running with power in a week. My daily hot shower is a must! I drive down to the tennis and swim club and stand in the shower for a long time, not wanting to get out! We are so blessed, these are just mere inconveniences, we had a home to come home too! Thank the lord!

Now on to important matters at hand here...stampin' and making cards! I am going to be one busy bee, I missed my stampin' so much and all of your creations! I will do my best to catch up!

Thanks for stopping by and happy stampin'! Oh goodie it's Friday! Beate's challenge time! Deb
