today 01/12/09

so here is what i have been doing with myself lately.. that is the AAPC study book

and how can you look at this finger and tell me there is nothing going on with me that is not normal? That hand is NOT normal for someone my age!

Prayer request for my brother who is having a lot more pain in his hip.. Pray for healing or at least relief of the pain

cards x 2 for the same family


Took me all day but I made two cards for Alison and Aaron--- one for the new baby and the new big sister. Now my hands are killing me. Need to make one more for an engagement-- I can do that tomorrow
this one was done with a onesie pattern and iris fold tech from http://www.irisfolding.circleofcrafters.com/index.html scraps of blue paper and some stickapotamus letter stickers (denim)
This one made with a CTMH stamp, twinkling H2O's, Martha Stewart blue stamp pad, pink paper no idea where that came from, letter stickers from somewhere, and a oval cutting set from long ago from CM
pretty good huh?

pondering--TVA, new baby, boring day, Judi

big ole boring day---I couldn't sleep last night so I slept in to about 8:30 this morning. Read and waited for Mark to come home then the adventure began--
  • to the post office to mail Katie's January package
  • to the Barrel for dinner (and to buy a special tiny girl a 1st birthday gift from her grandparent's)
  • on to WalMart (I HATE going there but it is the only larger store in this county) to get a refund for something they overcharged me for ..and a few essentials like cat food and water and milk
  • to the drug store for a refill and
  • then home

to ponder Vicki's new blog entry and the pictures of the TVA disaster --check out the bottom of her blog

need to make a new baby card for Alison and Aaron at church (and big sister Gracie) who are the proud parents of a new baby boy who will be baptized on Sunday... What a wonderful time of life for a family. A new life to nurture and love and teach. To see all things new again. To have all the experiences that come with a new baby. A manifestation of a love between a man and woman. What a lovely time of life.

Judi is making amazing recovery. i talked to her today and she is driving and doing great. She got a new car and it is perfect for her. I told her today that her guardian angel did a good job that day---- She is blessed and obviously still has work to do here.
