For my Tops Friends!

Well I finally made these little weight recorder book covers for some of my Tops friends. I got some cute little images from wish rak and had to use them. I'm sure my pals will enjoy them. I have made a couple and then the word got around and now they all want one,lol. So once a week I will make one for someone with a little encouragement note to keep them motivated.
That way,it'll keep me busy,take my mind off this transplant issue and make someone happy,which I love to see.

The weather is terrible here,it's been raining almost everyday for the last 10 days, like a friend of ours sais "He ordered some sun for today,but it was backordered,so God gave him a rain-check,lol" I thought it was cute!

Have a great week and I hope to post more often and will try to visit some blogs today!
Hugs,Diane

I'm still here!!

Sorry for not being around but it's been rough lately. I'm so exhausted,I try to sleep when I can.
Therefore I haven't done anything creative at all in I don't know how long. I just can't get back into it,I'm sure I will when I feel better.
And I rec'd a call from London (the hospital which I will be going for the tx) last thursday. Boy was I in a panic,we we're having coffee at Tim Horton's with a bunch of friends and DH's cell rings. So he answered and she asked to speak with me,introducing herself as Lindsay from the London Health ... well I thought it was THE CALL!! Heck no,she goes on to say that one of the drs was saying that my bloodwork has been stable and they want me to go there for an EKG and Liver ultrasound,so when could i go.
So I asked her if the bloodwork is stable that means I am not getting worse (which is a good thing) but would they take me off the tx list? She said she didn't know,she had heard of people being moved down the list but that also maybe they want to see me to make sure everything else health wise is good to go for the surgery.
Well it was such a down in the dumps weekend,I could only think,what if they push me down the list,after waiting all this time. I am so discouraged,confused and just don't know what to think anymore. My co-ordinator is gone on holidays so what is why this lady that called me didn't know much about my case. Anyways,I have to be there on July 21 & 22nd. One day of testing and the other day meeting with the drs.

So now as discouraged as I am,there is nothing I can do but wait til those appointments. I did call my social worker yesterday trying to get some answers,but guess what,he had just come back from a 5 week holiday and was just as puzzled as i was. He told me not to worry about it,that it's probably routine check up. Easier said than done not to worry about it!!!

So that is where I stand with all this mess,I talk to God,my parents up above to shed some light.
I'm sure they will make everything workout for the best. I must accept what will happen,good or bad.

Until next time,Hugs to all of you!!!!

Sad news...

I learned from Rita that one of our beloved stamping friend has passed away yesterday.
She was Deb Golan from Stamping on the mountain. I met Deb through bloggin,she was intrigued with a quote I had on my home page...Don't bring your organs to heaven,Heaven knows we need them here. We started chatting and we're both in need of a liver. Except Deb had so many other health issues.
She always told me not to give up and to hug my liver,Deb in your honor,I will do just that.
May you rest in peace,I will miss so much!!!!
Hugs,Diane

I finally made a card!

I can't believe I finally made a card,it's been so long! Just haven't been in the mood or no mojo like you guys say it.
Things haven't changed,haven't heard anything from the transplant team...it gets very frustrating,disappointing,discouraging,so many emotions going on.
But I keep my Faith in God,and know HE will make it happen when the time is right.

I hope to visit some of your blogs over the weekend. As for the card,her name is Emmy from Cuddly Bubbly,I used one of nesties,added some primas & added part of a dollar stamp from Michael's.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
Hugs,Diane

My weight loss pics!

Wow,I haven't posted in a long time. These pics are my before and after since I lost my weight to goal. A total of 37 pounds since Sept. 07.

So I'm pretty proud of myself. The before pic was taken in one of the casinos in Las Vegas and by after pic was taken at home on sunday,so it's really at the weight I am now.

I have made a couple of cards to give to my fellow Tops friends but silly me forgot to take some pics.

We have had beautiful weather in the last few days,so I am taking advantage of walking and riding in my Mustang,top down of course,lol! Just had to rub that in!

So I'm still kickin' around waiting for my call. We decided to no longer go to our camper so we don't miss the call if and when it happens. Continue the prayers please so I can get this transplant asap.

Thanks and Hugs to all of you my dear friends!!!
XOXO,Diane
