In the last few weeks we have been in a car accident (we hit and killed a deer) and lost another pet…my Mom’s cat Tabitha. She had been very sick and the medication wasn’t helping her so we decided it was time to put her down. I have been really sore since the car accident so I haven’t been up to being on the computer much. Today is the first day that I have really felt up it so I thought I would give an update on where I have been.

With Christmas just a couple weeks away, I am going to put off posting any challenges until Christmas and that will give me a chance to heal a bit more.

Oh did I mention, my Mom is getting a puppy this week! So, I now have to potty train this little puppy. He is a Japanese Chin and his name is Sting. He will be 8 weeks old on Thursday and as of Friday he weighed 1 pound 6 ounces. Small, huh?!?! But, he is oh so cute!

Well, take care and be safe!

I will post one later today…I am so sorry! I have a good excuse though…ok see I take care of the feral cats around my house and well I am trying to save a little 6 month old kitten. So today I brought her in and I just didn’t want to leave her side but now almost 9 hours later she is asleep in her cage! YEAH!!!!! Next week I am taking her to the vet for her 2nd round of shots and to be “fixed”. Ultimately she will be a inside/outside cat coming in on the occasional night or when it is too cold as we already have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a bird, a bunny, and a tortoise…basically it is a zoo around here. Although I think she will be a mostly inside cat because she has taken to the inside so amazingly! Ok, nuff about that…I need to get some sleep as it is 1:30 am here! Goodnight!!!

Every Friday I will share with you what I am working on and I hope you will share with me what you are working on.

Right now I am working on get well cards for my Grandpa who went into a nursing home on Monday for some rehab and I want to make a bunch of cards for him as he LOVES my handmade cards. Well, I bought the Wild Card Cricut cartridge thinking the ideas would just flow from it…nope not really! Well, I was able to get out 2 birthday cards for my brother using the cartridge. My goal is to make at least a dozen cards this weekend and get them mailed Monday so my Grandpa’s wife can take him a card a day. If anyone has ANY ideas that would help me…please share them with me!

I will be sharing the cards that I make with you throughout the weekend. :=)
