Woo Hoo!!! I am so excited about being chosen to be on this amazing team! I feel extremely blessed and honored! I can't even imagine the talent that applied, and I am completely humbled! Go check out the blog Here! I can't wait to get started!!!!!
Last week, October Afternoon featured one of my cards on Facebook....and today they did it again!!!!! Let me catch my breathe......YIPPEE!!! I still can't believe it. Here is the card from today.
I got hung up on the kite theme, so I thought why not make a card with a kite from the Fly A Kite line??? Did any of that make sense? In my own little world it does :)
I paper pieced the kite by cutting triangles. I then took a scrap piece of patterned paper and curled it around a pencil for the tail. I used my trusty Papertrey Ink Die for the large scallop border, and the Martha Stewart Apron Lace punch as well. I really like the simplicity of this card. I think I say that a lot :)
Well, I have one piece of good/not so good news. It had to happen! I went back to the surgeon today, and he recommended that I have the third surgery on my arm. It is called an Ulna Osteotomy. Sounds pretty scary, I know! Essentially they will make a 6 inch incision on the outside (ulna side) of my arm. He will then *feel free to cringe* saw the bone in half, remove a piece of bone, and then put another plate on that bone. I still have the hole in the cartilage, plus I have something called Ulnar Impaction. The bone hits the wrist joint when I move it. BUT!!! He said that there is an 80% chance that this will help. I am ready for this saga to be over, and even though I am not so anxious for the recovery, I am ready for it to be done. It is scheduled for May 26. Prayers are greatly appreciated ;)
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Our router went to router heaven, and we need to get another. It's been a little trying to get on the computer, but thank goodness I still have my IPhone. I hope everyone has a Blessed weekend. To all of those mother figures (mothers, grandmas, aunts, family friends) I hope and pray that God pours His blessings on you this Mother's Day weekend.

Hello Beautiful.....I absolutely love that card... It deserves to be shared with others... So cool for you! So excited for your new design team. It is an amazing feeling when you put so much into applying and they choose you. God is so good. Wow....Your surgery sounds crazy... I will keep you in my prayers. Hey... The only date I could plan my next event is July 16, 17 and 18... That is the weekend of CKC. I will not be able to meet you. I am sad but happy all the same. God is doing something big with these events....I think you should come and be my guest speaker and teach us a few card demonstrations. I will pay your way...Seriously!
Congrats on having another card posted!! And on the DT position. Will be thinking of you on the day of your surgery. Hope that this will deal with it once and for all!
