Creations







With some help of a lot of painkillers, I did manage to get my entries done for the Survivor Challenge at scrapbookchalet. I am not overly pleased with two of them, but they are done. I have to be realistic on what I can and cannot do. In the future I have to ensure that when I do feel passably OK that I get everything possible done, because I do not know when I suddenly won't be feeling OK. It is so frustrating. I am having a hard time holding small things in my hand or using it. Poor kids are constantly hearing after I drop something, will you please hand that to Mommy. They are being so good about it. Son had a wonderful pickup at daycare last night and a wonderful drop off this morning. Me if I want to look other than straight forward I have to move my whole body. Neck won't do it. I have problems with C6 and C7 and I think they are doing some major pinching right now. I have a massage appointment tomorrow, I hope I can hold out till then. I guess I have no choice. Enough of my woe; here are my three entries for the Survivor 4 week contest at scrapbookchalet.
The red heart love card is for my little boy Austin, he loves the sparkles that the tinsel creates.
The Love card is for my DH for Valentines day, I tried to make a masculine one.
The altered canvas, it is the first time I have ever worked on canvas. I didn't even do canvas in school art classes. I didn't find it that bad, infact I loved painting it. The gold accents though that I tried so hard to achieve, oh man, what a exercise in futility. Was it the fact I was working entirely left handed when I am normally right handed, or that I was using gold metallic ink with acrylic stamps (thanks LISARN for the RAK). ANyway it did not photograph well and it did not scan well either.

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.

Back to school

Image
DD first day of grade three is today. She is very excited to be going back, and hoping she gets her dream teacher. There was a fiasco last year at the start of school and DD started with her dream teacher and then they moved her twice more and she ended up with a split teacher room. This year she hopes she gets Mrs. K, for good. I hope the school has their act together this year. She didn't want me to drive her, she didn't want me to follow the school bus, she wanted to do it on her own just like last year. She was happy to have mom wait at the bus stop with her though.
