My dad and his stroke journey

Hi everyone! I'm back from a long and tiring journey.  Like most, life comes first but blogging was always something I always turned too for a world far away from mine.

Even though my hectic life is still going..I need to let you all know a little of what's been happening.

I've had epilepsy since I was two and life for me was always limited to what I wanted most. I tried new medication until I found one that worked without horrible side effects. I'm feeling great and much more at ease. Then...my dad had a stroke. So there has been a lot of things I've had to learn. I still am. I'm fighting a battle with Dr,s and hospitals that don't want to help. They just want to put him in a home when he hasn't been given the choice to rehabilitate to decide if that is the case. He is very aware about everything. So...with that said, my dad and I make a team to be reckoned with. I won't give up and neither will he.

That is all I'm going to say for now until I know more.

Thanks for reading and I will update soon

WOW it's been that long...

...and here I thought it was only a few months that I had posted anything on my blog! Time to catch up and post up my cards :)

It has been a tough and stressful few months with life. I miss posting and hearing about everyone's creations and days. So, there is a lot for me to tell you all but I will update you one post at a time.

1st my health wast the greatest and was feeling really out of sorts for all different kinds of reasons. I have epilepsy so the new meds took awhile to get used to, especially with side effects. Not sleeping, no real appetite that sort of thing. However, in that time I did manage to make a few cards when i first got my new silhouette...weeeee...was so happy an excited that I just wanted it to work right away. Well...lol...honestly the only problem I had was the blade that came with it. It was cutting but not cutting well enough through certain cardstocks. I got a new blade and have been having fun using it ever since. Here are some of the cards I made with the Silhouette. These tea cups were from the Silhouette store and couldn't resist the design.

I hope you all like them :)

Cards: Heavy based white CS Neenah paper, Bazzill CS (tea cups and frame), PP cut from Silhouette, Ebellishments: Iamroses petals, flower wire, string pearls and flat, mini paper flowers, rhinestones, ribbon and a felt flower.

HMMmmm......I now have an idea in mind for one of these weird holidays...I'll be back later y'all :)

First Silhouette Project!! Yay

Well I'm thrilled with my Silhouette!!! Everything about it I love and i still have so much more to do :)

I decided to cut out a round flower flourish that I found on the Studio site. I don't do Valentines cards to often but I thought I should at least try. The image the silhouette cut out was so pretty that I had to use it...and on a valentines card it goes.

So what do you think..? :)

I will have more very soon!

My New Silhouette CAMEO!!

Hellooooo everyone!!!

Happy Monday

I've been really busy lately but I wanted to share with some awesome news. I got a Cameo :)  Wooohoooo!! I've been searching and searching for a Silhouette for a long time now, and it's tough to get one here in Canada without paying either huge shipping costs. I didn't want to wait for pre ordering because, I hate the wait and well...I have no patience LOL. I've drooled and panted over this machine and was shocked that my DH found one at an amazing price! He took me to get it almost 2 hours away from town (I love him). The weather wasn't the greatest either even hitting black ice. We got home safe and rested....until today :) 

 Jillian who owns the store Scrapbook Central is wonderful and kind, gave me some awesome deals along with my Silhouette. I started playing with it and at first i was having issues and a few of them have been figured out. I will post more this week and I plan on posting up some projects. Acckkk I'm so excited I can barely sit still :)

Anyways have a great day everyone :)
