Papertake weekly challenge

Here goes nothing..lol. This is going to be sent in to help form the worlds largest homemade card for the children of BBC. That's why I choose this pic, the children trick or treatin' thought it was cute....for the kids.

This one is made for the BBC Children in need. These cards are all made on yellow so they will form all cards submitted together to form one large pudsey bear to try and make the world's largest homemade card! Wish 'em luck! I will be dropping this one in the mail. I am hoping I submit this in correctly to the gals in the papertake weekly challenge! I thought this was cute,

Busy Beaver

I've been a busy beaver, I had a baby shower to attend and decided to be brave and make some homemade gifts. I am leary of doing this in case I 'screw' up I went to Joanne's to gather my supplies but forgot to get a pic of the blankie!!! I am making another one with the leftovers so I will be sure to take a pic of this one when it's done. I did do homemade soaps and a homemade Bobby; I did not have directions for this one but have seen them before. After it was complete I ran a search and found a site with directions and do you know what? I was right on the money with the measurements. I was off by an inch.. I couldn't believe it. It worked out great. I will share. I am feeling better now and I am trying to do a few challenges that I saw on a friend site. and I am hosting a coffee crop Tues morning on yahoo im at 10 a.m. est. Well, I am gonna go create, I have been missing that! ttfn!

I found some really Cute Blogger Layouts at Doobix.com

My mind can't help but to think back to the World Trade Center, Flight 93 and the other flights along with all of the men and women lost there and @ the pentagon today. There is a sadness lurking in the air today, just the realization that hatred can cause such devastation. Even if it's been yrs it's still a wound to our country that will never be completely healed. I am comforted to know how much our country united together to help "our fellow man" (& woman) It was really great to see how our country became one then! It's just too bad that it takes something like that to remind us to be good to each other. Well, just was sitting here drinking my coffee and checking my mail and realized the date today and my mind got to thinking..... WATCH OUT!!! I hope today is a good day, unlike yesterday. I was having severe lung spasms after I went to get some groceries. I just can't hardly do that. Ray tries (bless his heart) but he just doesn't get good groceries. Just a bunch of frozens sandwiches and pizzas. I see his point though I don't cook like I used to so it's something easy for him and Amanda when I'm unable to. I just hope today is a good day cause I really need to do some housework!!! At least my dishes and a load of towels! Well, Have a great day!!!

Playing with my blog

I rearranged and gave my blog personality. I found the site, surfing other bloggers sites. I also just found out how to read my comments, thanks so much for all the well wishes! I've been down, starting of another lung infection. I began new antibiotics today along with another med for my tummy. I just wish I could go to the store! We need groceries in the worst way! Maybe tomorrow. I have to go to the dr, I have to make that trip! Wish me luck!

I want off of this roller coaster!

I'll tell you I would have never ever guessed my life would have ended up here! I got a call a few days ago from my brother to tell me his g.f. dd. has ca. She's freakin' 14! Then he calls yesterday, he finally got insurance and actually went to a real Dr. for a real check up and they found a large white mass in his left lung in his x-ray! He has been gettting these huge cysts on his neck and chin for about 2 yrs or more. I have been onto him about getting them checked out. (our dad died from hodgkins disease) So, now what? He's going for more tests after a series of antibiotics. The main one is an MRI of his lymphnodes etc, plus he has what they believe is a hernia in his groin. I'm afraid that it's more "masses" cause you have a whole series of lymphnodes there too. What next? I feel so helpless, I can't help myself let alone "be there" for him. I guess I can just be supportive and call him on the phone, be there the best I can. I hate to complain, I really am not trying to but I can't help ? God's plan. Maybe he thinks I look good in white? A White blouse that straps around me in a white padded room!!!???? I don't know what else I can handle, I keep picturing him walking up Calvary's hill, knowing he did that for me helps ease my whining. I just don't know, all that I do know is I have to give it to him and let him carry me through this journey. Please if you are a praying friend remember us. I thank you for it!
I am very blessed to have my 'crafting' world, I truly believe it heals me in it's own way. Everyone has their outlet and mine lately has been a blessed group of friends from my groups that send me cute images that I sit and color. I can't help but feel childlike that I'm back to coloring. It's grown up coloring though...LOL.. Here are a few images that Patti M. from AMR has sent to me.
