C'mon in grab a cup of Java, sit, relax & stay awhile
I love scrapbooking and cardmaking, & so many other crafts!!!

Some stuff about me

These are a few things about me, my life, family and interests. I love scrapbooking & sharing with my online groups and all of the gals there, they are so kind & helpful. I wish I could be more involved, I regret letting life get by so quickly, now that I am sick (just diagnosed at age 42 with cystic fibrosis!) I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I've always just lived for the moment and I hope the memories I leave will be fond to all of those that have known me. With 27% lung capacity revised.... 23% left I have had to face the harsh reality of mortality and death; "it is what it is" as the saying goes. I am just thankful for everyday that I am blessed with. I could hope for nothing more, just knowing I was loved by my children in my life brings my heart happiness. Add on...I'm going on a cruise April 2010 Lord willin'! Please pray for me that I can remain healthy enough to make a once in a lifetime trip! xx-oo

It's been awhile

I haven't been on in awhile. I'm still kickin' just been laying low trying to stay well. I hate the change of weather with it usually comes sickness. I was in the hospital once this month but I did get a little get away in and went to see my cousin by Detroit! Now let's see if I can make it past Thanksgiving & stay well! I have a birthday coming up and I am thinking about putting some Blog Candy together... I am going through some stuff and I just hit an awesome find at one of my favorite stores. So, keep checking in I will probably post it this week sometime, since my Birthday is the following week!!! P.S. Tiff if you read this I miss and love you guys, I missed sharing in DJ's special day :-(

Truly Blessed!

I sit here and get feeling lonely and down sometimes. (I think we all can and do) Thinking how I have no friends or ppl that care and along comes my Close To My Heart rep; my friend Barb Otten, she brought me such and uplifting stamp set just because...it's called Treasures. Now I've eyed this pretty set for awhile, never wanting to spend the money on something I just want. I try to buy sets that I know others would enjoy on a card or that my daughter likes. This one is so sweet and I will "treasure" it always. Thanks Barb, it was such a welcomed suprise! Here it is!

I bought these at her party this past month. I am so excited to use them. The monsters for Halloween of course and I am planning on making cards for the children at my C.F. clinic.

Two Lil' Monkeys...



I was so happy to be able to spend a day at the zoo with Ray and Amanda; thanks to Michigan Pulmonary. They donated the two batteries it takes to power my electric w/c that my brothers fiancee had donated to me. Laina was a special part of our family, but men never know what they have until their gone!**my opinion only!!!*** Can you guess which monkeys are mine!? LOL. Ok there's a story with this butterfly pic. I sat and kept trying to snap this pic of this lil' guy, I must've sat there 20-30 mins to catch his wingspan opening. I FINALLY got it! (a blue Morpho) It was the only blue butterfly I saw in this butterfly sanctuary and they must have had a thousand butterflies! Here are more pics. I just really enjoyed this, I haven't been to a zoo in years because I just can't walk distance!
