Happy Upcoming birthday to my friend Debby

See how much I love this fun pp.... I had to use it for Debby on her card as well. The flowers on this card are from my friend Debby! They came from Israel.

Colored in copics. Hero Arts for the sentiment. Nestibilities (squares)...... I will be putting this card SOON in the mail so it has time to travel! :)

Happy Birthday Debby.

JOY

Well, I rarely take the time to scrap due to the love of card making has taken control of me. But...... I finally broke down and did a layout. I tried to really distress my pp's. And I ripped up a cardboard diaper box to get the old rough look..... I have inked, and then used Shimmerz over the doilie and torn box to give it that beautiful shimmer of shine.. Also I used some on the Bazzill covered brad for the flower. Hemp, and American Crafts alpha letters. I also rubbed some Metallic rub-on to the letters made by Craf-T Products, Inc. It is a JOY to have grandsons in my life..... This is my oldest Ayden who will soon be turning 5 in September.

Happy Sunday

I just about feel like I've lost my Mojo.... Being off from crafting since the first of June has about killed me worse than my back! I am still trying to get better, and I've had several procedures done to the back. Nothing so far has been helping. I will see the surgeon again next Friday week. I think he may be leaning towards Surgery #2.... We only fixed HALF of the problem. The next sugery would involve placing rods and screws in the back as well. Not what I'm hoping for. The daily pain is not fun either.

I've been also working ever so slowly on some things for a fall class I still hope to have. Trying to do the prepping all alone and it has not gone fast at all. grrrrr. But still plugging away.

Boy was the weather hot again this weekend with high humidity. The pool felt great and thankful we have it. That is one relaxation I'm able to do without the back brace on.

Take care..... I've really enjoyed everyone's blogs. That keeps me going...... hugs.....

To a wonderful You from Thankful Me....
