I went into a non existent withdrawal cause I had miss read the emails and thought that they had already done it. </p><p>Can you believe it has been almost 3 years since I last posted? It has been a rocky 3 years with Covid, medical issues etc etc etc. I haven't been doing a lot of crafting cause I just haven't had the brain power or physical abilities. I go to my daughters on Sunday and do some Diamond Painting but the rest of the time I hibernate keeping the TV going stretched out on the bed. My arthritis has gotten worse, I had aortic valve replacement last May, now I am trying to go blind in my left eye. I have macular degeneration. Fun times! I turned 71 years old this year and it is always something new going on.</p><p>One of the new hobbies that takes less dexterity and eye power is my wood painting stuff for my tiered tray display...this was the latest...4th of July Independence Day!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I did manage to make it around to most blog posts but didn't leave comments on most cause I was on my iPhone waiting at appointments etc. </p><p>It has been an interesting year and even more interesting couple of months around the Doswell house. Chuck has been in and out of the hospital having issues with his 75 year old ticker not wanting to beat as it should. Last month they put a pacemaker in his chest and the beginning of this week I took him in cause his heart rhythm was 'beating like a drum' irregular and fast...is doing better today but has to be in the hospital for 6 doses plus 8 hours before he can come home. Tikosyn...high dollar drug. Here's to hoping it works.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOOJtwbb3K52ieC7rgsBRUROpzhIa8siqV7hLjmAxAIsWAlxutomT1T5CbyaDv-B0xkFEgzFtHRuUqgQub71Q-Tz5LelFWpiXAnPWmGESzs0bIsHZ62Wr3qW9Ast7mlC4vW4ZbJpj3dXnB/s2048/62659232665__D6985DBD-E761-4619-8144-9B49D1119C29.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1443" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOOJtwbb3K52ieC7rgsBRUROpzhIa8siqV7hLjmAxAIsWAlxutomT1T5CbyaDv-B0xkFEgzFtHRuUqgQub71Q-Tz5LelFWpiXAnPWmGESzs0bIsHZ62Wr3qW9Ast7mlC4vW4ZbJpj3dXnB/s320/62659232665__D6985DBD-E761-4619-8144-9B49D1119C29.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The kitties haven't been feeling well and both have had trips to the Vet...I sometimes feel I run an sick infirmary in the Doswell house! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfIhzSTnjJT0fDx0eO-h9u_rl6qHak22arP6Us4sxGeFmeGcEuc-ZwM4uzvAwBiPb7YsyVzIfDFq5HyOscybFseTIIni171ZRxy9X-CoVIxf2OAkKBg8uR52yoaO70s2NsapR-8GgqJTeq/s2048/IMG_8807.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfIhzSTnjJT0fDx0eO-h9u_rl6qHak22arP6Us4sxGeFmeGcEuc-ZwM4uzvAwBiPb7YsyVzIfDFq5HyOscybFseTIIni171ZRxy9X-CoVIxf2OAkKBg8uR52yoaO70s2NsapR-8GgqJTeq/s320/IMG_8807.jpeg" /></a></div><span style="text-align: center;">Ankh had a hurt leg and had to go in for xrays and antibiotics...Stormy girl is old and having sniffles and 'bad' days.

I guess feeling guilty over 3 last year is done cause I won't be able to take one for another year from the sounds of it. <p></p><p>I made a couple cards this week prior to the deluge on the desk...This first one was from a swap! We all kitted up and sent stuff to our partner for them to make a card with.

I hope everyone has a great week and has a lot of fun doing whatever they are doing. It has been very hot here...I am almost ready for fall!</p><p>I am kind of down in the dumps today cause my middle fur baby was outside on the deck and came up missing.

I will check out some of the desks and see what everyone has been doing recently. I have missed it and get way too involved in the BS of politics in the US! It is a hot mess here for sure right now.</div>okienursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16737956457626102108noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-75753386712501589572020-03-11T14:48:00.002-05:002020-03-11T23:08:13.397-05:00WOYWWWell a little late...not months have passed...since my last post. Been busy with all sorts of stuff...some essential some not so much so! I really enjoyed WOYWW a couple weeks ago and promised to be here too and I am...<a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Whats WOYWW? Whats On Your Workdesk/space Wednesday!</a> Julia Dunnit started the group many years ago and it is a fun place...Check it out!<br />
<br />
My space looks like more of a disaster then it did 2 weeks ago with me shuffling stuff around and back again trying to place this, find that, get rid of some stuff! I just have more stuff then one person should have and keep getting more because people think I can't live without it! My craft room from the door<br />

I truly am trying to organize but it seems I have to move 200 things to find a resting place for the one in my hand...I will persevere. I have 2 boxes to go out sitting in the dining room waiting on pick up by a school teacher that needs supplies.<br />
<br />
Some cards I made this week. I really love the kits that Close to My Heart puts out a could times a year. My daughter is a CTMH dealer and she lets me order them on her account! This one is the Seas the Day card kit...a lot of fun to put together! This kit makes 4 of each card type. <br />

I have since bought the layout/scrapbook kit and will show you that when I get it done!<br />
<br />
A friend got the new Gemini from Crafters Companion...a bright sparkly metallic machine...tried out machine and the dies that came with it and made a couple cards!<br />
<br />
I think they turned out really nice...6"x 6" but pretty much lays flat. I love bright sparkly/shiny things and bright colors. My daughter tells everyone that color is my friend...it does calm me down when a lot is available. I don't do well with dull and drab...<br />

Okay I guess I will end this missive here without adding a lot more to it.

WOYWW!Trying to figure out if my brain is intentionally blocking the fact I have a blog and I don't get around to blogging anymore or what! I look up and months have passed where I used to blog a couple times a week! I am still alive and mostly well! Just not blogging a lot!<br />
<br />
I think I am going to post this on one of my favorite blogs today...since it is WOYWW! Julia started <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW </a>many years ago and I loved to participate but like all things Vickie now days I just haven't gotten around to it. I blame all the above bitches on my anoxic brain injury from a couple years ago. My husband tells me it is a viable excuse cause my whole personality has changed...at times!<br />
<br />
Speaking of husband...We went to dinner with the kids for Fat Tuesday last night! Wish I could be in New Orleans but hey this was good too!<br />

My desk is a mess cause I am in a sorting mood again! I have to admit my intake far out paces my out go and I am beginning to look a bit like a hoarder after a fashion! Nope...definite hoarder on board! I told my husband if the apocalypse was to hit I am stocked up for a while! The picture to the left is a photo of what you see entering the craft room and the one below is of my actual desk...<br />

I decided to start putting things in these roll about carts so I can stuff them in the closet and it seems to have gotten out of control! I like all the new widgets and gadgets! I love all the new paint and color mediums and OMG! I am an addict! I wonder if there is an Crafters Anon out there! I told my daughter if I was to die with all this mess I apologize but she should get in here and clean it out before her Father gives it away for nothing!<br />
<br />
<br />
So that was my desk...how about a few cards I have been making...For Valentines Day I got into a swap to create "coins" and postcards...<br />

I have been looking at posts but not doing much else if anything to write posts or leave comments. It has been a year of chaos and pain in my house for various and sundry reasons. I think I may have that under a small amount of control...not holding my breath though! My desk this week! Too junked up to do much with!<br />

I haven't felt like crafting much and try to get out to a group about once a month and crop...I am making a few cards along and have to break up my time between sitting and standing otherwise I get nothing completed. I started doing Christmas cards a couple months ago and they are the perfect medium for me to be able to sit and stand and still get stuff done! I joined a Spellbinders club and they send a card kit every month and this is some the cards I made from the October kit.<br />

I will post more later but this is about all my back can handle right now. Hope everyone has a great week! <br />

My health has been a problem for over two years now...well actually since I broke my knee and infect went untreated for 6 months. I am happy to say some of that is on the mend and I am definitely getting around better and with less pain. I have found pain pills don't do too much for me and just cause mind problems so I have started a program marijuana and tequila...now don't laugh my pain doctor is amazed and has started prescribing for others! Luckily in Oklahoma marijuana is legal for medicinal purposes even though it continues illegal in most states. I make up cookie or edibles and take them as needed like a pain pill! Now the tequila has taken over my G and T consumption because I don't get the same effects from it!...I know (((giggle))) it is fun!<br />

Today is the day after Thanksgiving and I thought since I am up and running early I would publish a few photos of some fall cards and projects I have done... I really miss not writing on my blog like I used to do...maybe I will start again...Always to tired, to sick, too something here lately! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I participate in two calendar swaps each year with my online friends. This year the month of July was my choice for the calendar tag swap on Creative Block StampersAnonymous group...the requirement is to use at least one stamp from Stampers Anon on your tags. This #8 size tag has a background stamp and several die cuts and stencils from the Tim Holtz collection used to give a multilayer textured look. I love bright colors and this worked for me. I decorated the backs of all my tags with fun retro looking cut outs, We made twelve tags! <br />

WOW! Another year almost done! We went over to Heathers house yesterday for an awesome dinner and sat around talking with family! When I was a kid I can remember a house full of people coming in for dinner but now days families are smaller and scattered all around the world...Chad, Candice and their kids are in New York now and it is a bit far to travel and they were home for a summer visit this year!<br />

Time flies when you are having...fun or in pain and sick so you can't do much else. It takes a lot of energy to just get by and when you add in feeling sorry for yourself on good days...well that's life! <br />
<br />
I haven't been doing a lot of anything crafty the past year! I try to get to a crafting group once a month with a group I have been crafting with over the years. Paperdolls are a fun group! Everyone knows I am a Stampin' Up! Demo right? I have a site online where you can check out all the good stuff! You can visit the site by clicking on the <a href="http://okienurse.stampinup.net/">Okienurse! </a><br />
<br />
Each month Stampin' Up! has a kit that comes out around the 15th of the month called The Paper Pumpkin. It is a no brainer and contains everything you need to make the cards/kit that month including ink, glue dots, twine etc! This past month I did a card kit from Stampin' Up! called Sentimental Rose. It was Aprils kit... I really enjoyed putting this together. It made 9 cards and there were some preprinted elements but just enough stamping I felt like I was doing something not just sitting! <br />

I love the color combo of pink and minty green...I know but memory is faulty now days too!<br />

I belong to a group on Yahoo groups called <a href="https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/creativeblock-stampersanonymous/conversations/messages/12498">CreativeBlock-Stampers Anonymous</a>! We make all sorts of fun tags and stuff for group swaps. I love all the tags and cards I have received in swaps over the years! The moderator gives us a prompt each month to make whatever and we send them to her and she swaps them out and mails them back. The only requirement is that you use Stamper Anonymous stamps on your items but sometimes I forget. Every so often Stampers Anonymous sends Sandy some of their stamps to give out to the group. I have received several wood block Tim Holtz stamps from the swap. <br />
<br />
I just made up some tags to swap and not only did I forget I had to make 12 tags but I also I forgot I was suppose to use SA stamps!!! I don't know how many years I have participated in the calendar tag swap and that was a first! I am going to blame it on my really poor memory caused by the anoxic injury from the surgery!!!<br />

I don't remember the name of the technique but I took a piece of Cut-n-Dry stamp pad felt from Inkssentials and stamped the mandala on it in archival black ink. To get the variegated ink I used a combination of Tim Holtz Distress inks and Stampin' Up! inks and dripped them around the stamped image making a variegated stamp pad I can use again and again. <br />

I have been so busy and gone so much since my last post I wasn't really aware how fast it has flown by.<br />
<br />
I have been busy crafting and doing fun things. I took and online class with Stephanie Barnes from The Stamps of Life the beginning of the month called Under the Sea. WOW! Lots of fun and I could do it at my own pace. I have yet to finish my cards because of some video issues but should be getting them done soon. <br />
<br />
I also attended a class with <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com/p/international-workshops.html">Dyan Reavely</a> of Dylusions and Ranger Ink at the scrapbook store called Paper Arts in Edmond, Oklahoma July 21 and 22. I learned so much and had so much fun learning different techniques that I was so juiced up to start doing all sorts of art journaling but... Life intervened and it was put on the back burner!<br />

On the 29th July Heather and I flew out of Phoenix to Pittsburgh, PA for Pennsic Wars...good thing too cause I was really starting to feel the heat. Most days it was 112-116 degrees and figuring in the concrete and tall buildings it was miserable there!</div>

Just read and article on Bob Rawls blog about fasting. Interesting concept that fasting may play a part in rebooting the immune system by killing off old cells and building new cells. Dr. Rawls pointed out that the fasting diets have all the earmarks of a fad diet but if it can help me control my inflammatory processes I am willing to try. <br />
<br />
Dr. Rawls cites several articles and studies in his post but I can't fast long periods of time due to an insulinoma. Whats an <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/insulinoma#symptoms">insulinoma</a>?` It is a tumor that secretes insulin when I don't eat for long periods of time...like more then 24-36 hours. I was diagnosed with it by Dr. Belknap in 1992 when as doctor I was working with noticed I was functioning properly but not thinking well. I was positive on blood tests but could never find it on the CT because they are so small and can be anywhere in the body not just on the liver or pancreas. That said I think I may try a shorter form of fasting that Dr. Rawls talked about called time restricted fasting where you only allow yourself to eat during a 6-8 hour window each day. I normally don't feel like eating till late in the day so I may limit my eating from say 3pm-10pm at night and see how that works. If I show any symptoms or problems with the fasting I will quit....doesn't hurt to try!<br />

I didn't get much in the way of crafting done the past two weeks because of either not feeling well or travel. My daughter and her husband had me out to their house in San Jose, CA for Mother's Day and I had a blast...wish it was as nice of weather here as it was the whole time there.<br />

I think most of you remember my granddogs from pictures I have posted before...now to say these dogs are spoiled would be an understatement. Michael grows oat grass for them so they can have fresh grass to eat...the grass they are laying on is a type of low maintenance astro turf and now very good noms!<br />

It is Wednesday and I remembered in time to post with the rest of the folks...well the stateside folks anyway! If you want to know why Wednesday is special and what I am posting about visit <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Stamping Ground</a> and Julia will fill you in on WOYWW! Essentially we share what we did crafting during the week and what our desks look like! Anyone interested in swapping ATC's this year?<br />
<br />
My desk this week isn't much to write home about...very messy and covered with stuff I cleared out of my tote after returning home from the scrapbook crop this past weekend. I love those school boxes to put stuff in to drag around then I just unload them when I get home!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really enjoyed the crop on Friday and Saturday. I haven't been to a crop in almost 3 years for various reasons so it was a real treat that I think I will continue to enjoy on a monthly basis with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaperdollsCTMH/">Marti, Shiryl (her Mom) and the Paperdolls! </a> Marti's father pastors the church where the crop is held each month and her mother is an absolute hoot. We had lots of food and fun! I managed to get 3 layouts (6 pages) and 12 cards made! The layouts were from a kit from Close to My Heart called Calypso that is now retired. <br />

I love the color scheme of this kit... There are cards in this kit too but I haven't made them yet...will post when I do. <br />
The card kit I did do was also a CTMH kit called You Are More...once again retired. I bought a bunch of kits last year before surgery thinking I would have all sorts of time to make them but I didn't figure in an anoxic brain injury into my surgery plans...it has been almost a year and the doctor promised it would all be back in about a year...so far so good! I can make up my kits now! This kit made up 6 of each style!<br />

I had to change up this card cause I bought some coral pink glitter ribbon/tape and I just had to use it! I thought the washi tape I used on the envelopes worked out nicely!<br />

Love the sentiments in this stamp set and I will probably end up using it a lot. Does anyone cut their stamps apart like I do? I take a blade and separate words so I can use them to form different combinations!<br />
<br />
Okay I guess I will get off here and go do something constructive...maybe get my hair cut or nails done...I am going to California to visit my daughter on Saturday and I want to look presentable for the flight...haha... Remember the days of dressing up to take a flight anywhere. Now it isn't much different then jumping in the car and taking off somewhere!<br />
<br />
I have been mumbling and grumbling around here after I got over feeling bad and sorry for myself last week! Do you ever get tired of the status quo? Do you ever want a change? I was sitting here thinking about it after typing my post out last week that it seems that my life has settled in with a sameness that is a two edged sword. I like living in my comfortable life and really have it a easier then a lot of others I know but... What do you do to change things up a bit? I joined that scrapbook crop group and a couple swap groups on Facebook. okienursehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16737956457626102108noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-79860959967184363102018-04-26T16:01:00.001-05:002018-04-26T16:38:30.286-05:00embarrassing....I guess I have one or two options here...I could hang my head in shame or I could do as I am doing and roflmao!!! Wednesday...yes that was yesterday and I kept appointments for Wednesday yet forgot all about WOYWW and what Wednesday means!! If you would like to find out what it is all about check out <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Julia's blog and WOYWW!</a> I am going to go ahead and post a photo of my desk just because I thought it was Wednesday and I want to! Anyone interested in swapping ATC's this year?<br />
<br />
So this is my desk today! I know you folks going to Ally Pally got me to thinking I really did need some stuff so yesterday I went to Michael's and bought a few things! They had a huge 50-70% off sale then sent me a Rewards Customer coupon for additional 25% off even on the sales stuff!<br />

If you enlarge the photo you will be able to see all the goodies. I bought the red and blue card stock packs and the 4 pads of print card not because I need them right now but because they were so darn cheap I couldn't pass them up. The two sided 48 sheet 12"x12" pads cost me only $4.60 with all the discounts and the 100 count card was 110# wt was only $7.50 per package. I know poor reason to buy but I bought the colors I use a lot!! I bought the Tim Holtz 5" snips, metallic distress colors, and ephemera for 40% off then the additional 25% off...see what I mean I couldn't pass them up! I didn't have a water brush set so that got tossed in the basket too! It is all stuff I will use and I am pleased to say that I left there with money still in my pocket!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spread out the kit of the month from The Stamps of Life to show you! This may be the last month I buy this kit but it is really worth the money you pay! There are other groups that have kits that cost a lot more and you get a lot less. </div>

I am on a mission on my better days to get my stamps that have dies in them organized into these plastic envelope/folders. The Close to My Heart and Stampin Up! already have folders but most of the Tim Holtz and others don't. I bought some magnetic sheets to put in these envelopes to hold the dies so they don't slide out and get lost...an on going problem around her. <br />

Okay I am done for today...wrong day or not I wanted to show off my new stash. I have not been feeling well the past week or so and haven't been able to do much crafting. I hesitate to say I am sick because this constant state of "not feeling well" is due to all my autoimmune disorders so I am not really sick! I like to think of it as good and not so good days. If you know anyone who has any autoimmune issues you know that like me some days are better then others. </div>

Yep it is Wednesday again!! It is going to be a gloriously beautiful day outside here in Oklahoma. It is already 70° and sunny! Yay! About time! I have already been to see the doctor about my face/skin cancers today and got a good report so no more radiation and no more doctors visits for a year! <br />
<br />
My desk is not nearly as busy today as it has been but hey...I did get some cards and a layout made from some kits I own! Wondering what the deal is about <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Wednesdays and WOYWW</a>? Check out Julia's blog and she will fill show you the whys!<br />

This is the second card kit this week! I laid it out last night foolishly thinking at 11 pm I would be able to stay awake long enough to get started but it didn't happen. Something to look forward to after I get home from the therapists this after noon!</div>

I love the colors on these cards. 12 cards per kit. It was a bit irritating at times having to get my ruler out to measure where each piece of the card was suppose to go but hey...after a while I gave up and just put them together! They are made from a Close to My Heart card kit called Something Magical!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One Layout this week was all I got around to and it is also a Close to My Heart kit. I decided to document our anniversary with a scrapbook page. This kit came with a couple of pocket layout pages so when I get the prints I will finish them up. I have been mixing them together 2pg layouts and pocket pages (or whatever they are called!) cause it is fun!</div>

Seems like this week has just flown by faster then others and I have so much to do and so little time or inclination to do it! I find it interesting that I have managed to remember Wednesdays and WOYWW recently! I think the anoxic injury may be well and truly on its way out! If you are interested in <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW go here </a>and check it out. It is fun blog hopping on Wednesdays and snooping around!<br />
<br />
My desk is a bit busy today...I have been having fun putting together some of the kits that I have been amassing the past year! I didn't realize the impact my surgery would have on my crafting abilities! I am definitely doing better! <br />

Has anyone else bought the Tim Holtz stamping platform? I am trying to decide whether I really like it or not! It does stamp better images and when doing multiples of the same image it is a champ getting everything in the same spot! If I am doing just one of something though I am still using just a plain old block!<br />
<br />
Check out the 3 layouts plus the cards I made in the <a href="http://okienurse.blogspot.com/2018/04/cards-and-layouts.html">previous post</a>. I had completed the one-2 page layout and posted it last week but finally got the kit finished...<br />
<br />
These cards are from this months Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up! that I got in the mail a few days ago. I ended up rejoining Stampin' Up! for a few months to get the stuff I need and have run out of since the last time I belonged to the group. I love the product but not much into selling it!<br />

Chuck and I will be celebrating our 43rd wedding anniversary this Thursday! Luckily Chuck knew when he married me that I wasn't much in the housekeeping or cooking department but he kept me around anyway! We will be married 43 years tomorrow! I think he is as much a sweetheart today as he was back then. Who would have thought that all of this came from a friends match making back in 1974! The kids were here for Thanksgiving and helped me set up my Christmas decorations and we just had to take a family photo! I really am truly blessed with the family I have...good folks not just my family!</div>

Okay I am going to get off here and go to bed! It is almost 1 am and I am really feeling tired. Thought I would get this posted before I go to bed because I have so much stuff to do today!

If you got here from WOYWW <a href="http://okienurse.blogspot.com/2018/03/woyww-460.html">go here</a>for my weekly post...Anyway this week I have been busy and decided to do another post showing a fab kit I got from Close to My Heart. I bought it in 2016 so I doubt if the kit is still available.<br />
<br />
I used photos from a trip in 2016 to California to complete the layouts. <br />

These first two pages are photos taken at the B&B that a friend gifted us a stay at when he heard we were coming to California! John invited us to a Halloween party at his house in Oakland and we stayed here in Berkley! Fun times! This place, Rose Garden Inn was originally just one Victorian house in downtown Berkley that developed into a 7 houses in a group with murals, patios and lots of flowers!</div>

The Halloween party at John's house turned out to actually be two parties...one on Saturday night and one on Sunday for a group John belongs to in the SF Bay Area! John lives in a house that is high up on a hill that overlooks Oakland and the Oakland bridge across the bay. In the distance you can make out the Golden Gate bridge on a clear day. </div>

I really like the Workshop to Go kits because they always give you enough card stock and embellishments to make a bunch of cards once you get your layouts done. I made a total of 8 cards but could have made more. I bought the dies and stamps that go with this set and really like the way they have turned out!<br />

It has been a busy week and a lot has been accomplished but I didn't get outside to take any pictures...too wet and everything looks so bedraggled! The concrete workers didn't make it out to do the patio using the excuse that so much rain would only give me second pool and no patio...hahaha!<br />

I made multiples of the cards on different card stock and different prints. For the most part I was satisfied with the outcomes but...I think I am going to back off the distressing a bit on the cards from now on!<br />

I am finally starting to feel better for the most part except for the pain issues...that's life! If you are interested in WOYWW and seeing what other crafters are doing check out <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Julie's blog</a> and she will tell you how to play along!<br />
<br />
Not a lot going on on my desk...I have been cutting out and gluing together these little suit cases from the Sidekick set you see there on the left. I have been having so much fun playing with that darn thing! Guess that's what it is all about...having fun! I decided I was going to try and color in some of the ATC but don't know how much coloring I will do...I never like the way I color!<br />

The tag I made for a swap on <a href="https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/creativeblock-stampersanonymous/info">Creativeblock-StampersAnonymous</a>. I always try and do the back of the tags too cause I hate it when they are always so messy so it is like making two tags sometimes. </div>

This is the free stamp we got for playing along last month. It is from Stampers Anon Tim Holtz called Watson. Tags were to be flat so that the 5 tags could be mailed in a legal envelope. Sometimes all the embellishments play havoc with postage so we are trying to conserve by going flat! </div>

Didn't have a single doctor's appointment except my weekly visit with the talk therapist...I have PTSD from various and sundry issues in both my personal and professional life! Guess only so many bombings, building collapses, and natural disasters(tornadoes) etc till it takes its toll. I worked ER and ICU/CCU for most of my 42 years as an RN and sometimes what you see can set off a chain of events that isn't good so I took care of myself so I could take care of others!<br />
<br />
Weather has been pretty nice around here this week. We got up in the low 80°F one day but we have mostly stayed around the 60-70° range. The fruit trees and flowering trees are putting on a show and my front flower bed is bursting with hyacinth and daffodils that Chuck planted last year. I am really happy it is starting to warm up. Next week I will post some pictures of the yard and what is up and blooming. The workers are suppose to come out soon to start tearing out the old patio and pouring a new one and I have been staying busy trying to get that cleared away so they can do their job! <br />
<br />
More later! Have a great week!<br />

WOW! I am not really sure what happened or why but another week has slipped away. I have pretty much been left on my own while Chuck traveled to a conference in Japan and still managed to get next to nothing done! <br />
<br />
My desk this week is a disappointment I am sure to some...nothing really going on today. If you would like to see other desks and join in the fun check out <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW</a> on Julia's blog to learn how! I made some cards last week and managed to only remember to take a picture of one of them!!<br />

St. Patrick's Day cards on the left...The new stamp and die from <a href="http://www.thestampsoflife.com/index.htm">The Stamps of Life</a> stamp of the month club...love these little butterflies!! My grandkids will too! The folder with stamp and the rectangle die is from <a href="http://wish.com/">Wish.com</a>. I have started buying a few things from them and for the most part have been satisfied with the quality of the dies and stamps. This lot was 'free' and I paid about $3 postage. <br />
I went to my young nieces birthday party on Sunday. Betty Rae turned on March 11! Carol, my sister and her grandmother, would have turned 60 years old the day before. Betty loves big jewelry, anything glittery and sparkling, and unicorns so I made her a special card for her special day!<br />

Jenn my niece in law had balloons that we wrote notes to my sister on and tied to the balloon to send to heaven to celebrate Carol. It was exciting for all my sisters grand babies to send Grammy a birthday balloon!<br />

WOYWW #457Welcome to Wednesday! It is bright and sunny here in Oklahoma and the temperature today is only 30°f (4°c) but it is dry and sunny! I slept in late today so my post for WOYWW is late but...it is here. What is WOYWW? Go check out <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">Julia's blog Stamping Ground</a> for details on how to join!<br />

Been busy doing nothing this past week...too cold in the craft room and my arthritis doesn't handle that well. I just learned I have psoriatic arthritis in my hands...say what???? Never heard of it so I had to look it up. Doesn't look like it is going to be a lot of fun to have... I have ordered a radiant heater that should be here later today so watch for cards and scrapbook layout next week.<br />
<br />
My desk isn't any different then last week so thought I would show what I did last night. I went to a painting party and drank margaritas and painted! It was a lot of fun! <br />

My friend Beth (on the right) and her sister Janet host this fundraiser every year to raise money for Relay for Life...a fundraising group of the American Cancer Society. I try to go to events like this and support research as I can. See huge margarita sitting here? This is a local Mexican food restaurant about 2 miles from our house and they have good food and awesome margaritas...luckily I didn't have to drive too far to get home!<br />
