Organizing.....

Sorry I haven't posted, but these past few days, I have been organizing my stamping area.

My stamping area is one part of my basement, didn't care for the space, but today, I stamped my walls and now I really like it. Will share pictures of it later.

My boyfriend, Mark altered this cabinet for me for my spools of ribbon. It helps me keep my ribbon organized.

Stamping Day!!

My creation for today!!

Tiles

The tiles that I have made for my living room.

Another simple card.....

Just another clean and simple card that I made...

Hello.....

Stephanie, my oldest daughter just received a sample of one of her senior pictures for next year. She had a blast with the photographers that day. She can't wait until she get the rest of the pictures.

A new creation

I thought this turned out cute. Nothing exciting. LOL

Been MIA (missing in action)

Well the past two weeks have been crazy with doctor's appointments and such. Waiting until Wednesday to see the doctor again and discuss my options with the cyst on my ovary.

I actually finished two projects this morning! Yippee!! Two things off my to-do list.

Kelli, my 5 year old is done with school. Kelli has a busy summer ahead of her. She has summer school, vacation bible school, swimming lessons, and T-Ball.

The other two girls have this week left of school. They are ready for summer break. We are planning our vacation in July. Kids are excited about going.

Take care,

Melanie

Hopefully I will get back to stampin like I want to be...

Unbelievable the things happening to me in the past two weeks. On Thursday night, I had back pain so bad that I called the clinic and they told me to go to the hospital. (Since I have had a blood clot in my leg they wanted me checked out) After spending from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m at the hospital, I ended up finding out that I have a cyst on my ovary the size a tennis ball. So this next week, I have to have an ultrasound to see what is going on with that, plus my other blood tests for the blood clot. Not fun...

Some cards I made today...

Hello everyone! Well I am finally back to stamping after a weeks rest.

I see used old olive for the 3 cards I made today. How funny!

Well I am going to rest my leg for a couple of hours before I head off to work.

Take care... Melanie

I am moving around much better today. Mark and I spent the weekend up north with his parents. We had a chance to go fishing and we caught about a dozen fish. We had a great time.

Working on other things today, but tomorrow I will be stamping away....... Can't wait.

On the road to recovery!!

Found out today I am not allowed to work for the rest of the week. What a bummer!!! My weekend plans may be cancelled too... I feel bad for Mark for he won't get to see his parents if we can't go. I know he feels guilty because of all of this.

Its still painful to walk, I guess this was a pretty big blood clot in my leg. I have to go for blood tests daily and still have the daily shots. This is so not fun...

I don't think my children realize how serious this could have been. They go on just like nothing has happened. This upsets me so much. They think that mom can still do everything she did before. Well I can't right now....

Well everyone take care.

Melanie

Tuesday Morning

Hello everyone, looks like its going to be nice day here is Wisconsin today. I am taking a couple days away from posting to recoup after my short hospital stay this past weekend. Doctors found a blood clot in my leg over the weekend and decided to put me in the hospital as a precautionary measure. I can barely walk at the moment and will have lots of doctors appts coming up. So everyone take care and will be back up and running (i hope) by next week.

My last project for today! This colleage is made for Mark's parents. It was of their visit with their granddaughter, Karly, who they haven't seen in two years. I hope they like it!!!

On a roll.......

Other cards I have made today!

On the top two cards, if you take a closer look, there is embossing. The picture doesn't show it very well.
