I think it's about time!

Yes...enough is enough! I know I'm like going out of my mind caring for dad and worrying about mom...but Jesus Christ...I'm really letting myself go! I've been so wrapped up in both my mom and dad's life issues that I've really neglected what make ME happy! I mean I have better update on my mom...1 more week or 2 and she'll be home!!! She'll be in bed for a few more weeks after and I'll have to help with having her walk little by little...but she's MUCH MUCH better health! It's time for me to clear my mind right? Plus with my sister coming in to visit and just getting constant criticism about my cooking and how I've been "keeping" my home...I had to call BS and just stand up for myself! I mean I'm not getting any help from my mom's OR dad's side...so who's ANYBODY to come and criticize me when I'm doing a heck of a lot! Any who...enough of THAT whinning...I actually have cards to share! Well...a card for today!

This is a set of 6 cards for a swap hosted by my girl Michele of Enchanted Stamper to use Stamping Bella's Ketto's! These Ketto girlies are to darn cute I picked me up a handful! Here I used Maisy Ketto and NO COPICS THIS TIME! :P I've been commented on about my Prisma loyalty...oh...you can trust me that my Prismas are my baby. I had just been using Copics because LV decided that she no longer needs them as she got some new markers AND she traded me the Copics for my Prisma pencils. Hmmm...so now I own Copics...lol! I've been using them because I paid for them since daddy decided they were too much so...so I wont feel I'm out money and just shove them in a box somewhere...I'm using them in combination now with my Prismas. They get along well to my surprise! Anywho...I also teamed up my Prismas with new markers I go...Bic Mark It's! I saw them on sale at Target and I got both broad tip and fine tip...lol. She's very bright huh? Well...bright colors cheer me up and recently I've needed the bright colors! Her wings are glittery...but you can't tell from the picture. I went in with a clear Spica Atyou pen to give the wings the sparkle. Oh...and that cute ribbon...yup...it was a RAK from Michele! I couldn't bare to use it...but it was the only cute orange ribbon I had! I still have a couple yards more and I'm gonna hoard it! :P

Long road ahead!

Hi! Just here updating again. Boy are things just getting foggy for me. I feel like I'm in a bad dream I can't wake up from and now I just feel mentally exhausted.

Went to see mom again and the doctors are being very unhelpful of WHY she hasn't been able to walk. I don't know if her body is rejecting the plates from the surgery or if she's just too weak...but all they give me are runarounds about "testing her further". I'm getting so tired of the "testing her further"...just be straight up with me...will she ever walk again? God I have been crying and haven't been able to concentrate on anything. I've tried sitting down to create...but it's not clicking once again. My mojo has been drowned by the worry...and not to mention taking care of my dad. He's not that bad...he's actually been tame...but who knows until how long that'll last.

Still...before this brain exhaust...I was able to create some stuff...so I'll show you so I don't just whine. This card was a set of 6 made for a swap hosted by my girl Melissa. The swap was to create a card using mythical creatures....so being I LOVE fairies I had to use this fairy. She's a digital stamp from Victoria Case Art Designs. This was my last time making any cards using LV's Copics which she now let me have since she won a Manga/Anima art markers at school. After this set...the other cards I made were using my Prismas. I may need to buy a new set soon as some of them are already becoming dry. Hope you like! AND I'm sorry about my whining and what not. I'll try not too update too much about my mom and try to focus on what this blog is about...stamping and card making. I don't want to bum my buds out.

Copics used:

Supplies:

CS/DP: KKiss, PPirrouette, Raspberry (?) Bazzil Bling, Bright White, & Bella Rose DP

Ink: printer

Stamps: digital VCAD

Embellishments: flat back bling

Others: MS Butterfly punch, Marvy Daisy punch, & white gel pen

Update and a Pre-Sale!

Hi ya'll! Just checking in to have this blog running and keep ya'll updated. Ok...so I'm doing much better...thanks for your well wishes. Yeah...all I needed right now was to get sick huh? But I'm headed out of the flu. YAY! Also on other news...my mom was finally transfered from the hospital to a home/clinic where they will be working on getting her back on her feet (if possible) or working with me to see what they CAN do just in case she can't walk when she comes home in 2 to 4 weeks. It's been so stressful to think that she wont be able to walk...but I'm staying positive! We're going today to see how she's doing and for me to sign some papers.

Now on to a pre-sale! Bombshell Stamps is having a pre-sale for their new sets! I'm already in love with a couple...but can't buy at the moment! :( Bills are coming in...yikes! But I know for SURE when I can spend a bit...I'm gonna grab the sets I want! *wink* Check them out!!!

Ok ya'll...I'm headed back to bed to sleep a bit more. I still feel super sleepy but I wanted to make sure I update a bit. I plan on getting back on track very soon! My dad's daughter called and said she wants to take my dad for the weekend...my dad doesn't want because he doesn't trust her...but if he gives in...OMG that would help out a lot! LOL!

Oh...and FYI...I have been staying stamp productive...lol...I've been working on cards to show once I can be myself again. ;)

Hugs,
Gabby
