silence is golden unless.....

you have a blog...that you want people to come too often...

I do have at least 8 or 9 cards to share, but only one for  today.  Plus I will share something very personal with you that you will only know if you read this blog....

First of all most important a card....Barbara P made this and gave it to me... She wants to do this in a class, so does Mom.  I am not sure if we will or not because, although it is simple, I can't do much pre preparation before class.. But I am thinking about it...
Isn't it beautiful? It uses a new in colors Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush, and Daffodil Delight.  The flowers are embossed in white on card stock Vellum and then sponged or brayered with color.

The stamp set is Secret Garden and the are cut out with the coordinating framelits.

Well now for my personal news... I had surgery last Wed. June 12.   I had 3 things done....After much struggle, thoughts, self battles and prayers (although still struggling with self doubt) I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery, at the same time I had a hernia in my esophagus repaired and I also had some scar tissue removed that had grown around the liver from a near death illness I had 7 yrs ago.

So there you have it. I am currently on a strict liquid for 1 month followed by another strict diet for the next two months as things heal.... So you should see less of me each time we meet.

I am also planning on taking some computer training in the near future to learn new skills and hopefully one day know how to really do this blog right:0)

Well classes are this week, in fact one is this morning....

Hope all is well with you and yours.  Until next time....

HS,

has it really been a whole month.....

since I last blogged?  I can't believe it.  I really have been stamping, plus being sick, and all the rest of life that I do......

Hi too my two Barbs, Barbara P and Barb B....probably if it wasn't for Barb B telling me she keeps checking my blog, I wouldn't of been motivated to post... sometimes it seems no one is there, but anyway...

I read somewhere where I should just get right to the card and not meander so without further ado...
 



 
Actually these are projects I designed with  My Digital Studio, MDS for short, for you see I also took an on line class last month too.  I knew I needed to learn how to use this.  I have had it for over 4 years and never did much with it, so when the opportunity came I thought I should take advantage of it.... AND NOW INSTEAD OF 79.95, MDS IS ONLY 19.95! and it really is fun.....
 
If you are interested is learning, just let me know.
 
Well I have to go now, life is calling.....
 
I will do my best to post more often.
 
But until then,
HS,
Wanda
