Finally a card!

I got to make a card today,after doing some laundry,cleaning the floors and cleaning my stove!

I'm surprised I still have energy to make a card. But I had to try my new CB Swiss Dot folder that I rec'd from my new friend Deb!!! Look at the RAK she sent me!!! I thought it was Xmas! Thank You so much Deb,I will put everything to good use,believe me!!

The card I made is pretty simple but I just had to try that folder,I have seen it so often and fell in love with it...Now I have one,Woohoo!

Well have a great rest of the day everyone and I'm off to decide what to make for dinner.

Hugs,Diane

B'day card for a 15 yr old

It'll be my nephew's b'day in a couple of months,gee I'm ahead of myself. The picture isn't the greatest,cuz the card looks really cool,all the silver,shines alot and in my eyes he's a real star!!!

For those of you who know about my liver tx,he offered to give me a part of his liver!!!! Isn't he amazing,he's only 15...

and to think that way,he's a super star in my eyes! Actually,

I couldn't do it,and he's not old enough,he must be 18 yr old.

But at least he offered! He touched me deeply!

Anyways,I like how it turned out,pretty simple but i'm sure he'll like it!

I'm off to visit my niece and her 1 yr. old today,they live about 45 minutes away,so I'll go and spend the day with them,maybe take them out for lunch.

Have a wonderful wednesday! Hugs Diane

Well hello everyone,hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We sure did,we went to our camp, I felt great,the weather was gorgeous,I even went for a

On top of it all,I even made a few cards. This card,I used my CB swirls on the yellow and pink
cardstock,sponged some pink on the yellow cs,added a green circle with a pop up sticker and put the sentiment on another green scallop and for the final touch a SU ribbon.

Have a wonderful week,and will talk to you again this week! Hugs,Diane

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone ! I'm back,not too strong but yay back home!

First off I want to Thank my wonderful niece Shannon for posting my situation for me!! She's the most wonderful niece anyone could have,she's my God daughter,my best friend,we have so much fun together! I LOVE YOU SHANN AND THANKS A BUNCH!!!!!!

I want to THANK each and everyone of you for all the your thoughts and prayers,they worked!
Also thanks for all the beautiful comments,I read each and everyone of them ... you girls are Awesome!!!! As I'm writing this in tears,I'm so blessed to have met you all,you don't know how much this means to me. The blog land makes me get up everyday even though some days I don't want to get up. I'm so glad Shannon got me hooked on this,lol!
Again THANKS A MILLION !!!!!!!

Now for my health situation update,where do I begin! Since sunday May 3rd I had been getting these attacks that felt like gallbladder attacks,but I had my gallbladder removed in 2003. Anyways the one on sunday only lasted 10 min so I didn't go to ER. Then I was chatting with Deb on MSN and I started another attack,so I told her I had to go to ER,so I did,they gave me meds for the pain,did bloodwork,my LFTs we're ok so he told me they would do an ultrasound the next day to see if I had stones in my common bile duct. That occurs with bile build up from my liver. So I had my ultrasound the next day and they said my dr would contact me.
So on thurs I still felt weird but no attacks. On friday I got up,felt normal,had a bowl of cereal,still felt great. My husband and I went to Tim's for coffee. We decided to go to our camper which is 50 min from town and said if I get an attack we'll just come back.
We got there at 1:00,I laid on the couch and watched a movie while he was working outside. Then he went for a 4 wheeler ride and of course ... I started an attack. I drove to Shannon's camp cause her hubby was there and thought maybe Al (hubby) was there,so he wasn't but Mark said he would go look for him on his bike.
Are you bored yet????? Almost done,lol!!!
I went back to my camp and laid down,about 10 min later Al came back saw that the truck had moved so he new right away. He rushed in and said you're not feeling good huh! I said nope we gotta go to ER! So on our way we went...blah blah blah got to the hospital,they put me through gave me meds and kept me. My liver function tests we're really high,they did xrays to see if they could find stones and they didn't .
To make a long story short,they kept me on ice chips the 4 days I was there and antibiotics to flush my whole system.Now is it fixed? I don't know. So I came home yesterday,had a cup of soup base and a bit of jello. And oh, I've had diarrhea since monday,I need a plug up there,lol!
So now I'll take it one day at a time and hope I won't land back in the hospital!

Hope I didn't bore you with this long story. And thanks again for all your thoughts concerns and prayers!!! You are all in my and my husband's heart!!!!

Hugs to you , Diane

I Hope my aunt Diane doesnt mind me coming on here I helped her start this blog and remembered her password ............ She is sick . We were suppose to go camping this weekend and she was in the bush Friday morning and well by 2pm she had to leave because she was having attacks .........Her husband brought her in to emerg and they kept her and will decide if they are sending her to Toronto Monday for surgery :(

She is so Nice and Caring , and such an awesome friend and aunt to me ,.,,,,It would mean the world to her and to me if we could all pray for her .As most of you ladies know she is on the transplant list awaiting a liver.

Believe!

I finally got a card made.I bought this acrylic set at our local scrapbook store. It's called From the Garden by Fancy Pants Designs. I just love it!
It's all kinds of flowers,branches,there's a set of wings,a beautiful heart and so much more. I'm sure I'll be using it alot.
So it's pretty simple but I like how it turned out.
I added some white pearl drops in the center of the flowers.

Believe In God! He sure has been listening to me lately!!

Have a wonderful wed,Hugs,Diane

Sorry,no card today! But I want to share...

I'm sorry but don't have any card to post today,but I must share my excitement with all my blog friends.

So Deborah there is hope for us! It is sooo nice to be able to share our ups and downs,through this wonderful world of blog land. I still can't believe this all happened yesterday!
Some of my prayers have been answered!

I'll try to make some cards today,it is now 6:00 am,I've been up since 2:30 am,just can't sleep,even after taking 2 sleeping pills. Oh well,tis life!
At least I am still here!!

Have a wonderful monday my friends and Thanks for stopping by!!

Another High Hopes

I just can't get enough of these High Hopes images,I love each and everyone of them,especially angels!!! I fooled around with layers which I also like and water colored the images with SU crayons,sponged the sky blue and the sentiment is from the Garden whimsy set also from SU. I put it on the tab punch and added some bubbles or whatever those dots are called!

Have a wonderful weekend to all of you!!

Hugs,Diane

Lovely butterfly

I bought these butterfly stickers from Stempendous at our local shop.The picture doesn't show all the beauty,when you move it,
it has blues and yellow and like greens coming through.It's gorgeous,I just wanted to put it on a
card,I heat embossed on the black corner.And the other corners are stickers again.
The sentiment is from Michael's dollar bin.

Have a wonderful thursday,as if the weekend is coming again! Is it me getting old...or is time just
flying by!!!

Hugs,Diane
