Holy crap...I'll be offline!

GO A POST DOWN FOR TUESDAY MORNING POST!

We have a tornado WARNING...HERE IN LA!!! WTF? So I'll be offline as we're suppose to stay away from all windows. Pray it skips LA or goes away in full! I'm scared...gonna go pick up the kids from school!

POST EDIT:
Whew thank God it only side swiped up! We only got the outskirts of it with just some heavy down pour. That was weird though...You don't see tornadoes in Southern California do you? I mean in all 32 years I've been here...I've never heard of one. Anywho...that was storm 2 of 3 to come. Tomorrow is expected to be a bigger storm that today...and it really rained a lot! Now we're just hearing faint thunder and distant flashes of lightning. Let's see how interesting it gets tonight. :S Here are some pics to share.



We were watching the news and other places got it bad with hail and overturned cars with the "typical" side curtain rain.

Anywho...I have some stuff for sale if you wanna check it out! I have a link below my header! Thanks in advance! Now I'm headed to the living room floor with the kids to "relax"...or so HOPE so! It's easier to say it than do it...lol!

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #29

Hello and welcome to another week in Tuesday Morning Sketches! YAY! I love Tuesdays...lol! Today Melissa has a very sweet and simple sketch! It's perfect for those CAS cards! I'm getting kinda reeled in, in making these! LOL! Still...I love my layers and added shtuff! LOL! So here we go again...it's back to a sketch this week! Let's see what you make of it! Remember to play along by leaving your actual blog post link under Mr. Linky at the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog! Can't wait to see what you come up with! BTW...this weeks sponsor is Pez-A-Doodle!

Here is my card! I decided to use buttons from my ever large stash of buttons that NEED to be used...lol. Sentiment is from the Heartfelt Sentiments set from Sweet 'n Sassy.

No too much chatter today...yesterday afternoon I ended up going to the ER with a serious case of anxiety attack (in which I thought I was having a heart attack). It was so bad that I was cramping and was in danger of getting a facial paralysis. I was given an Ativan shot to calm me and relax my nerves so I was told to just relax and home and try not to do anything stressful. But of course I can't...now I'm stressing because I feel I'm gonna have to sell some more of my stamps I just can't part with but may have to, to pay back $100 for the ER co-pay. And then the family wonder why I effin' stress so much! Well...now if my family reads this...they'll see why! Ok...I'm felling stressed out so I'll end it here and go try to chilax for my own health! Thanks for listening and sorry for bursting out like that! I'm just having a moment! Thanks a million for putting up with my bipolar self... Hope the happy Gabby comes back again and REALLY SOON! I hate the B I am right now.

A special digi for Baylee...a new angel in heaven...

Hey guys...I'm just basically doing a copy and paste from a very special post by Katie of Paper Makeup Stamps on a charity digi now available for sale. Read on to get the full story. Thank you so much in advance from this Paper Makeup girl! Click on the image to take you directly to the digi. But first read on...

It's not a new thing to mention that Charity is an important aspect of life to me. Honestly, I think that if you receive good fortune in life, it is out of respect to God who gave you that fortune to help others who might need help. There are so many ways to provide an act of charity to help someone. Often times, financial assistance can help someone get thru a hard time because it's one part they wont need to worry about as much.

This is where Paper Makeup Stamps has often stepped in doing charity stamps. When you purchase a charity stamp or image, all proceeds from the sale all go directly to the designated charity.

Recently, Paper Makeup Stamps was contacted by 2 friends (Carole Chesser and Ashley Newell) about a sweet girl named Baylee Tadlock. At the age of 9 months, Baylee was diagnosed with Leigh's Syndrome. Leigh's Syndrome is a metabolic-mitochondrial disease. The family was told to expect Baylee's life to be only of about 2 years. That she would never walk, talk, sit up or even crawl. But Baylee was a fighter and a lover of life! She loved to ride horses! She loved disney and princess Ariel. Baylee recently went to be with our Lord on January 9th at the age of 13. You can read all about Baylee, her too short life, and her family's amazing faith at www.adreamforbaylee.com

One of our illustrators, Diem Pascarella drew this wonderful image. All proceeds from the sale will go directly to the Tadlock family. They have set up a scholarship fund in baylee's name with http://projectride.org. Project Ride is a program giving therapeutic recreational horseback riding instruction to children and adults with special needs. PMS is designating the funds for the tadlock to use as they need.

We thank you for your support in helping us to help remember sweet Baylee Rose

A little tutorial! Card holder!

Hey all! I was bored one night and decided to make a card holder based on the tutorial by Becky from Inking Idaho. I found another template I was able to work off of with easier (for this dummy) measurements...lol. So here is my card holder and then a picture of my tutorial. Just click on it for a larger saveable version. So just a quicky post today as I'm off at my MIL's! I wanted to make sure I posted SOMETHING as I might miss the beginning of next week so I can catch up on some crocheting stuff I have on orders. I'll post on Tuesday of course for Tuesday Morning Sketches...but maybe just that until Friday. We'll see. I hate the procrastinator in me! Anywho...hope you can use this tutorial! If there's any questions...please feel free to contact me! ;)
