ER not SU!


That is one beautiful head!!! She was being a kid and playing and running around last night and fell. She hit her head on the corner of the play area furniture and it was wide open and bloody. Gregg dropped us off at the ER (8:30 at night in the middle of a big snowstorm) and then went home to wait with the boys, no sense in having them wait around there too. Fortunately we only had to wait about 45 minutes and they were able to glue it (that would be the purple haze - good thing purple is her favorite color!) so no painful or ugly stitches! Did I mention we are meeting my entire family for family pictures on Thursday? Oh yea!! Maybe we could cover it with a tiara. That would be appropriate. :)

She must remember some of her previous experiences in the hospital last year because at one point she turns to the doctor and says quite boldly, "I'm not sleeping in this bed. I'm sleeping in my bed." He tried not to laugh and assured her she was right.

Nope, no stamping last night.

cold and flu season

It started with one and spread quickly. By Friday we all had different degrees of cough, fever, and aches. Carter missed three days of school and Owen just one but even Gregg missed a day and a half. So far Mak and I seem to have the least of it and trying to keep it that way. We have gone through tons of tissues, cough syrup, foaming soap and hand sanatizer. The upside (knock on wood) is none of it seems intestinal and there is school vacation this week to recover for everyone except poor Gregg.

I have not stamped in a while but I do have stuff to post.
This is the card I did for my workshops. The ribbon is awesome! I actually took a marker and just ran a stripe down the middle. I was so excited to have it match the card colors exactly!

This was just playing around. I tore some post it notes strips and blocked off an area. Then I stamped and colored. It was hard to see the defines space so I used a black marker to just free hand a boarder. The ribbon I just doubled up but the only problem there is I punched through the front and back.
