It's been a long week, so glad for the weekend!

I feel like this week has been like an entire year! I didn't get a single day off, not that I am complaining but really my regular days off were spent at a meeting or class for work! Finally tomorrow I get my first real day off in over 2 weeks, think I might stay in my pajamas all day!

Here are my last few layouts I have done over the past several weeks...haven't done anything new lately, just not feeling the creative juices flowing, hoping that tonight that will change since a friend is coming over to make cards.

I am going to see the hand doctor on Monday to final get my MRI read and surgery for my hand scheduled, don't know if I shared with my blog friends but I have a cyst on the palm of my hand at the base of my ring finger, it has been causing me discomfort and pain for a long time, so finally I had it checked out and the result is surgery. I am not so happy about the surgery because I will be out of work for several weeks, but I am hoping good results from the surgery! That is why I need to get myself motivated to get crafty while I can!!! After surgery I will be out of commission for at least 3 weeks!~ Yikes!

In other news fall football season has started for the high school, this is my daughters last year! I am so glad to say I will be going to my last football games ever! Ok, I know I have a son but his interest is not in sports so don't think we will be going to many games during his high school days! Needless to say our team did not win our first game, we came close...in overtime the score was 28 to 21. I did come home with my allergies bothering me and a hoarse voice, woke up today feeling pretty yucky, worked all day and still feeling pretty yucky, took lots of allergy meds hoping for the best!

Going to rest for a while, then off to dinner with the family, then maybe some craft time!!!

Can you believe it

I know this is hard to believe but I am posting again, several times in one week is amazing for me! I just have so many new things to share and wanted to get it all posted so I don't forget! Of course when I post on a daily basis not much is going on and I don't have a lot to share. I worked yesterday, we are hitting are slow time so I didn't have much to do, which is good for me but not so good for the wallet! Oh well!Here are a few more of my latest creations to share:

As promised I am posting more of my latest projects. I feel that I am going to be super busy over the next few days, not sure why just have a lot to get done for cheerleading and chorus...it is the beginning of the school year and everyone seems to have the buzz. Anyway this post is short and sweet but you get the point I am just showing off my latest!

Sorry I don't have time for more chit chat, but life is happening and as always I am to steps behind!

What have I been doing lately?

Well I am finally at a place where I can start sharing all of my latest creations...I know it has been so long since I have posted anything crafty, what like a month or more???? I just can't seem to find the extra time to blog on a daily basis, too many other deadlines, activities, household chores, and work. So I just squeeze one in every week or so, that is as good as it is going to get for now! Of course I just got news that I will be having surgery on my hand i

n a month or so, then I will have a bit of free time on my hands so I could post on a daily basis, but I will probably have limited access because my hand will be healing so no typing with that hand, one handed typing...boy I will be slow! I can't wait for the surgery because I have had terrible pain in my hand for a long time, several years and I noticed a couple of weeks ago there

was a lump or hard spot on the palm of my left hand(i am left handed) anyway the pain has progressively gotten worse until now it goes numb and I drop things that are in my hand, tried

pain pills, anti-inflammatory meds, hot pack, cold pack...no relieve. So I went to an ortho hand specialist and I have a tumor/cyst that needs to be removed. All hopes is that it will come back normal and will take about 3 weeks to heal after surgery. This means I will not be working at the hair salon for a while (i am so sad, I love my job), nor will I be crafting for at least the first 2 weeks and then therapy for a week after and possibly several more weeks, depending on how well I am healing. I will end up with a scar on the palm of my hand about 2 inches in length, that is okay as long as the pain is gone. I am so sick of dealing with it. Anyway didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but this is my life something always happening!

Here are a few of my latest creations, finally! The first 2 are shower gifts I have made for a baby shower I am hosting next weekend...I love the little banner and the cupcake picks, they are going to look so cute once I make the cupcakes!

The next 2 layouts are 6x12 Teresa Collins Family matters collection. This was the first time I have ever done this size scrapbook page and I totally loved it! It was neat to do a different size and add some elements to the page that require opening things up. I am so in love with Teresa Collins products, her colors just go with everything, they are so verstaile and easy to use...I have more stuff coming soon to show that I made from her line.

So that is all for now, but no worries I will be back with more...got lots to share!

Saturday

Nothing crafty for me to show today...I just wanted to write a post so that time would not pass without me keeping up. Went on a date with hubby last night, had a great time. We went to Wild Bill's (not my most favorite place) to see a Bon Jovi tribute band called Slippery When Wet, they were pretty good and I love me some Bon Jovi, so overall it was a good time! We just never get out that often so it is always fun to take some time for us!

Working today, then off to a picnic, and then tomorrow is cheer pictures...busy, busy next couple of days!

Hoping to have more photos to share soon...until next time!

It's been a while-family update

I know it has been a while since my last post, but again I say life happens! I think I have been the busiest since I came back from my little trip to the mountains at the end of June, I had a toothache that turned into a root canal and who knew that I would be afraid of the little dentist...thank heaven for a little diazepam to calm the nerves for the 2nd visit! Work has been super crazy, I worked extra days a couple of weeks, I have been so behind with my household chores, I have spent the last 2 weeks catching up...just to get behind again! Cheerleading is gearing up again as always that will keep me busy, the good news is I am not the team mom this year so no making goody bags! I am so thrilled! This past weekend we took a quick trip to the beach and did a college visit for Miranda, you know she is going to be a senior this year with no idea of where she wants to go to school...well let me correct myself, she wants to go to Clemson, but we just can't do the out of state tuition...so we are trying to help her make an in state choice. We visited Armstrong Atlantic State University in Savannah. On first glance the school is not m

uch to look at but once we went through the campus and saw everything, it seems like a great little place I just hope that Miranda can see herself going there...time will tell!Here are a few pictures from the beach to share, I do have some new projects but have not had the time to take photos of them yet, soon I promise. Unfortunately my camera battery went dead while at the beach so the only photo I got of Dan was from dinner and it was a little silly to say the least! Oh well!

Fathers Day

I know I am a couple days late sharing my cards that I made for Fathers Day, but better later then never!!! As always I am always too busy and just do some things last minute and these cards were no exception...I made them the day of Fathers Day! The first card I took inspiration from a fellow blogger. I did a search on cards and this is what I copied. From Christi, I just randomly found her blog and really like what she did so I went about creating my own version. Thanks Christi for the inspiration! On the blue card when you open the card the sentiment on the inside says "you rock!" My hubby's dad plays guitar so I thought this was a perfect card just for him! I loved using some of my scraps and older stash to make this card! Super fun and easy!
I am off to work this morning, got an early meeting and a long day ahead! Of course I am 24 hours away from my vacation beginning and I am so thrilled, I so need a week off!
