So my girl Joani is hosting a blog candy and she asked we use a sketch provided and the color purple...so here is my entry! Nice Joani...I LOVE purple...but then again, we are sistahs seperated at birth! Hope it qualifies! I made it on Sunday night just before I went in to the hospital at 2 am Monday.

Ink: LLace, PPink, GGalore, BBlack, YYYellow, & glitter gel pens

WOW...it sure hasn't been my year so far!!!

So I get over my flu and what not...and then comes a trip to the ER on Monday morning that ended up in me having a Laparascopic surgery to have my gallstones removed! I was there until Tuesday night when I finally came home. I say finally like if it was a long time huh? But hey, I missed my kids SO MUCH, it felt like forever! Turns out the reason why I wasn't holding my food down wasn't too much the flu...but the stone that was stuck in the neck of my bladder that was obstructing the bile from getting thru. If you are not faint of heart and wanna check out my war wounds...lol...you can see them here. It's only 4 pics my DD LV took! I do hope my luck changes now...I hate being ill! I know I promised a blog candy on Monday...well, I'll set it up THIS Monday...St. Patrick's Day. Man I just realized how HORRIBLE I look here...LOL!

I'm back and feeling LOADS better!

I finally had my second meal today and it finally settled! I'm not singing a victory yet...but it's a start! I still have bronchitis and feel weak from almost a whole week of not being able to keep my food down...but I see myself with a bit more color! Thank you for the well wishes! I'm glad to be back and ready to create!!! In the meanwhile...I'm getting some goodies ready since I was planning a blog candy! YUM! Since my 10,000 hits came and went while I was away sick...I'll post the blog candy to commemorate the coming and going of it...lol. I'll post the blog candy on Monday morning! Hope you can join me in celebrating!

BIG HUGS to all!

Sick as a dog...but...

...I still wanted to post what I worked on before I got sick! It's a bunch of stuff all in one post because I don't know how long this flu will last until I can create more. I want to make sure that if I make a card or craft...I'm NOT sick because I don't want to share my cooties! I'm selfish like that! LMBO!

First item up (sound like the Price is Right huh?):

This is a tote of a series of 4 that I made for a swap I'm in at SCS. We are to show our personalities or shall I say...purse-o-nalities! Here I used the "Pin Up" personality of mine! Since we have to include in the tote something relating to the theme...I made matching flower barrets (not pictured...but here's a sample with my DD wearing one).

Next is my "rocker" side...this is by far my fave! I bet you know why...if you already know me that is! I'm off to Hot Topic this weekend with LV for her birthday...to see what I can pick up to match this tote! I'm thinking those black jelly bracelets Madonna use to wear back in the 80's?

Next are 2 sets of Black & White with a Pop cards also for a SCS swap. I just got a few sets from the Ocassions catty and had to use She's all that for one of the cards.

And last but not least...something not as dark as my "image"...lol! This is a series of 6 cards also for another SCS swap. I just LOVE this chickie!!! The chick is the only reason I bought this set...lol.

I'll add all the details once I'm feeling better. Right now I'm all stuffed up and feverish and not to mention SORE...and just want to head back to bed. Thanks for being faithful readers of my blog even though I tend to be absent plenty. *red faced*

Faux Linen Roses In Winter

Ok...toot toot...yes, I tooted my own horn! I LOVE how this card turned out! I did do a boo boo as I scratched a bit too early while the En Fracais stamped was still a bit wet...but either way, layering with a lighter color I think covered the boo boo! The photo paper was "scratched" using medium weight sand paper since I couldn't find my distresser. I have never been in love with any set from SU...but Roses In Winter is my all time fave! I try not to use it too much because I love it that much...but when I do....OOOHHHH! LOL!!! What do you think about this one? Thanks for looking!
