Well - its a week later and still the pain continues

I had my surgery last week and am disappointed to tell you that the pain is still there - but all is not lost - my Dr has prescribed a 6 month treatment with injections - hopefully our insurance carrier will pay up or you will see an extremely destitute Sara !!!

After 3 months we will find out whether more surgery will work - so watch this space - but this is all boring so will try to post some fun stuff for you tomorrow :O)
Sending smiles your way

Just to keep you up to date . . .

. . .  I am back into hospital today for yet more surgery :O(  It is 5 months and 2 days since I was last in there and I haven't had a pain free day yet. I am so utterly exhausted by it all.So hopefully after looking inside with cameras etc my new Dr can figure out just what is causing the pain and fix it !!

So my usual apologies for not posting for a while but I am sure you understand. Will let you know how I get on x

Fanfare and July SOTM


I am sorry - just found these photos on my memory stick. Hhhmmmmm - should have posted them last month - but better late than never!
The top photo shows the cards which I made in July at my classes - it features white daisy heat embossing with cranberry and pacifica ink sponged over. the flower is made with 8 scalloped edged 2" circles and lots of sparkles.
The bottom photo shows a birthday card which I made using the Hooligans paper pack and then a random stamped July 4th card again - lots of sparkles.
Hope you like them :O)

Marching Band My Creations Display Album

This is the display album which I made using Lucky level 2 paper pack. It features some of the photos from the WLC Marching band from the 2010 season - and my son Leo's freshman year. 
So that shows you both Leo and the Band's journey to become 2010 Flight 1 State Champions at Ford Field.
Hope you love it as much as I do :O)

You and Me - National Scrapbooking Month kit.



Hooligans File Folio Mini Album

Yes I am at it again - turning the file folio into another album. Actually - this one was the idea which
then turned into the You and Me mini album. LOL.
I used the Hooligans level 2 paper pack and the photos of my lovely boys when we visited
the Detroit Zoo. They were fascinated by the butterfly house and all of the
brass animals that they could climb on.
I love all of the pockets for yet more photos.
And yes - again it was more artwork which I submitted to CTMH  - I loved the way it
turned out and obviously they did too :O)
I can feel another mini album coming on  - watch this space LOLOL
Hope you love it too xx

The Many Faces of ADHD scrapbook layout

This is the layout which I made to submit to CTMH to teach at Extravaganza. 
It shows all the pictures of Elliott as he has grown and shows just how much 
he has changed.
The small pull out book hides the journaling and I popped up the main photo with 3D foam 
tape to allow me to get the little book under it.
I rubbed the craft boarders in Versamark ink and then heat embossed using the white embossing powder. I then layered a thin strip of chocolate cardstock behind it to add contrast.
I love the way this layout turned out. Hope you like it as much as I do :O)
