going strong...

I want to thank all of you for your kind words, thoughts, prayers and hugs before and during my surgery! My surgery went really well, actually better than expected, considering I had to spend 2 nights in the hospital for what was supposed to be a same day surgery. I have to say that I truly have THE best doctor in the world...I mean how many doctor's pray with you and your family before you go in for surgery?! Mine did and it was truly amazing! I am so thankful to have been referred to him and to have him taking care of me and working to improve our chances to have children! I am so happy to be feeling better every day and I will be returning to work on Monday. As much as I enjoy being home and doing more "Betty homemaker" kind of stuff, it will be good for me to get back to reality sooner than later. I could get spoiled very quickly being at home!!!

I have been scrapping, and have a few LO's that I need to add the journaling too. I have been a bit lazy with that lately. Do you ever do that with your LO's? I find that if I don't do my journaling right away, the LO just sits there and sits there. Tomorrow, I have vowed is going to be "finish the journaling" day! LOL!!! But seriously...I am going to do it tomorrow!

Just a couple of reminders before I go...
  • Mix It Up is having a DT call! If you have ever wanted to be a part of a challenge blog DT this is a great one to be on. The "boss" Melanie is so fun and easy to work with and the mixers are so fun and inspiring! Check out all the details here.
This week’s mixer is a design inspiration - seeing stars! You must include a minimum of 5 stars on your layout. Those 5 stars must be made of different material, foil, pp, cork, metal, ribbon, etc... Let your imagination run wild!

I went pretty much by the book with the sketch with the exception of my journaling. I ended up writing more, so I just spread it up the page! LOL!!! As for the 5 stars part of this challenge…I was immediately inspired to scrap these photos of my Chuck Taylor’s.
My 5 stars are:
1. chipboard star covered with tin foil
2. acrylic star
3. sequin stars sanded of their red color to become silver and then embellished with a french knot in the center
4. cardstock star
5. rhinestone-like gem star

(Supplies: Bazzill, Pink Paislee, Magistical Memories, Kaiser Craft, Bo Bunny, Fiskars)





Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are having a great start to your summer!!!
