SFYTT - May All Your Wishes Come True

Well, I got the 4th challenge card done for February...just in time, seeing as how the cut off is tomorrow.  Nothing like cutting it close, eh?  lol  :)

Here's the sketch that I followed by Jen del Muro of i{heart}2stamp:

I've had fun playing with these sketches for a little bit while I've been able to.   Crafting is such great therapy for me and I seem to go to my happy place when I'm in my studio.  I'm still in a horrific amount of pain, but I do have times when the pain isn't quite so bad, so that's good.  It just depends on how the nerves are being affected, I guess.   I still haven't got a straight answer about what's going on with me.   But, I went in last week and had a bunch of bloodwork done, so those results should be back shortly, so we'll see what those results bring.  I need to go back to the hospital tomorrow afternoon to have an EKG as they want to rule out that it's not my heart that's causing the problems.   I can type at the moment, but my writing is getting atrocious!  I just don't have any strength in my hands and have lost a lot of mobility in my hands and am still have paralysis from time to time.  It's pretty bad, as I can't cut my own meat anymore, or even break open a  banana to peel it!   I feel so pathetic!   I was in bed today until 3 pm with a headache so bad that I couldn't get out of bed.  Luckily, Jim was able to stay home today to take care of our youngest daughter, who's also home sick with a cold and fever.  Not much fun here around the Mutch household lately!  I just want to get back to work and get back to normal routine!  Ok, I don't mean to bellyache...just wanted to give a quick update on me for those of you who have been asking.  Thanks for thinking of me!

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)

I have another one of the challenge's done for the month of February...just a wee bit behind, but they don't actually have to be submitted until March 2nd, so in actuality, I guess I'm actually ahead of the game! lol :)  I now have three of the four done...so, I'm getting there!

Here's the sketch that I followed by Jen del Muro of i{heart}2stamp:

I know the pink colour is a little bright in keeping with the Breast Cancer Awareness, but I wanted to make this a really fun card and I think I've achieved that!  I thought this would be a fun card to pass on to a friend as a reminder of how important it is to screen yourself.  There's a lot of Breast Cancer in our family and I've already been going for Mammograms for three years now.  They're really not as bad as people make them out to be, especially if they're able to save a person's life!

Easter Bunny

This card is pretty cutsie for me, but I thought with Spring right around the corner (hey, I can dream can't I?), that I'd try something for Easter to give to my girls.  I'm think they'll like this card.  :)  Now, I'll have to make one more, though!

SFYTT Sketch Challenge

I had a great time making this card for the current SFYTT sketch challenge.  I stopped into Zellers yesterday to fill my prescriptions and I noticed a clearance table of crafty items...I took a peek and I found these acrylic embellishments and buttons.  I couldn't leave them there!  You know me, I love a bargain!  lol  :)
