Rocket Birthday Card

Well, its not a Christmas card...I seriously need to get my programs loaded onto this computer. Trying to edit a picture in Picasa is really not working all that great.

This image is from a digi image I found out there in Internet land. It came with like five other images..some are colored and others are not. So even if you are colored challenged, you can make it work on a card. I colored with Prismacolor markers and Sharpies. You probably cannot tell, but the windows of the rocket have that clear effects on it to make it look like glass. I cant wait to get back into my stamping again. I have some new die cuts from Archivers and I haven't even been able to play with them yet. Sigh.

Recovery is slow...yesterday was a bad day. My husband had to call the doctor because my pain medication was not working anymore. So, we got some that is more potent..LOL

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. More later....

Fall Card

Not sure how this is gonna look....I don't have Photoshop on this laptop yet so I had to use Picasa and load it directly onto my blog from there. I need to get my son to get that installed.

I cant even take credit for this card. I went to my Stampin Up demonstrators workshop and one of the cards we made used this set. Mine is a bit different. but the stamps are all the same.

Well, my surgery on Wednesday went well and I was even home an hour earlier than I thought I would be. I think yesterday was the worse...but today isn't feeling all that wonderful either. I thought I could get away with taking just one pain pill but that wasn't the case...so when its time to take more pain pills, I'm taking two.

I see my surgeon on Tuesday of next week to get my stitches removed and then he will tell me when I have to start therapy...not looking forward to that at all. Just thinking about it freaks me out.

Well, I have some Christmas cards to show you also, but will save those for tomorrow. I'm finally feeling like I can get on my computer...those pain meds really make me feel strange.

More later...tata for now.....

Whats New?

The time is finally here to have the surgery on my ripped ACL..I will be having my surgery next Wednesday Sept. 23. I'm totally freaked out. I think what gets me the most is that I know what is coming. I have had this done to my right knee 7 years ago. I know what it will feel like when that nerve block wears off..I know the recovery is gonna be bad. I know the pain is awful. I think I did better the first time cause I never knew what was coming. That's the bad thing about this surgery.

I only hope that it will be better this time around...they will not be using anything from me to repair this...I will be using a Cadaver. My surgeon says the recovery time will be faster and easier since he will not be grafting a ligament or tendon from my body...I sure hope he is right. My surgery will be an hour and a half and I can finally go home about 4 in the afternoon. Not too bad I guess.

I have been going nuts trying to get everything done that I need to before surgery. I want a very clean house to come to..laundry done and all that. Also, I have been preparing things for my stamp group at church. Yes, I will take some pictures of a few of the cards I made up for them to work on while I'm gone. I know I have been a very bad blogger....not sure why exactly...I really haven't been doing much crafting...maybe that is it.

OH, I also have some Christmas cards to show you. I went to an Archivers workshop over the weekend and I made four awesome cards. I have already starting working on my Christmas cards. Figured I better get them started since I'm gonna be laid up.

Ok, enough for now...I will take my pics tomorrow when I finish everything I'm doing.

Tata for now.....................
