New Diggs

So....watcha think about the new look? I was so bored with the old look and it has been long overdue a change. I've been thinking about it for a while but wasn't sure what I wanted to do. My fabulous new header was created by Trista at Pumkin Patch Creations.

I still may tweak a few things here or there, but for the most part I like it! I love pink and brown, so this will work until I'm lovin' another combination!

And I'll be back with a couple projects I've been working on. I haven't been as creative lately as I'd like to be, but I'm getting back into the swing of things. I know I've been saying that for a while, but hopefully this time it will stick!

I think I'm back!

First of all, thanks to all of you who sent well wishes/prayers, either here or my other blog. It really means a lot!

I am feeling much better. I had my MRI done yesterday, and will have the results next week. I really don't expect them to find anything, though it would really be nice to know what caused all this miserable pain in my head!

I had 2-3 really good days, and it felt so good to feel a little normal again! Yesterday, my head started hurting again, and still hurts today. But my shoulders/upper back are hurting too, so I'll go and get an adjustment in the morning, and hopefully that will take care of this headache.

Anyway, I really needed to send out a couple cards this week, so I had to make some quick ones.

We have a cousin who had an anniversary, so I made a really quick card for that. I had received this cute little Mr. & Mrs. Chick stamp by Stampendous from Michele in some blog candy I won from her. I really wanted a reason to use it and thought it would work just fine on an anniversary card.

It's such a cute image. I colored in the hat, flower and beaks with sharpies. I added crystal stickles to the veil for some shimmer. And the shimmer in the ribbon worked well with it. Nothing fancy, but I thought it came out pretty cute.

Well, I need to get the little one in bed, and take care of a few things around here before I turn in. So I'll be back to post another one sometime this weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I'm Still Here!

I can't believe I haven't been able to post in almost a month! But I've been sick for that long, and it hasn't been fun. If you want to know what's been going on with me, you can read here and here. I haven't made anything all month because I just haven't felt well. But I'm stating to feel better, and hopefully be back to creating in no time!

I feel like between not creating stuff and not blogging, that a big part of my life is missing - and I want it back! And my energy - I need it back! This has not been a fun month! It HAS to get better soon!

Hoping I'll be back to "normal" soon!!!!!!

It's like Christmas in July!!!

I've been having so much fun the past few days! I've gotten so many new "toys" it's truly like Christmas!

First, I received an awesome box from Michele. I won her blog candy!!! This came on Wednesday - right after I came home from vacation, and I had so much fun digging through it all. It had lots of great things! I only sign up for blog candy that I really want, and now I've been totally blessed winning two different ones! Awesome! Thanks Michelle!

And then there was my shopping spree. My Dad gave me a very generous birthday check, and I had SO MUCH FUN spending it!! It is always tempting to spend my money on the kids and other things, but this time, I spent EVERY PENNY on stuff for ME! And I don't even feel guilty!

I got the two top things that were on my "list". A Crop-A-Dile and a Cuttlebug!!!!! I've been drooling over the Cuttlebug ever since I first heard about it!

Here are a couple of pictures of all my goodies:



Um, can you tell I like buttons? LOL! Those were 50 cents a package, so I got quite a few!

I also got a Crop-A-Dile, but didn't take a pic of it. (I got a pink one, of course!)

I also won two auctions for SU! stamp sets. Happy Harmony came in the mail a couple days ago, and Alphabet Soup will be here Monday or Tuesday.

PLUS I won a little challenge at Paper Petal Memories, and have a prize on the way as well - can't wait to see what it is!

So yes, I'm having LOTS of fun with all my new goodies. Now hopefully, I'll have lots of time to play!
