The best teachers teach from the heart

Friday August 31, 2012

Well I survived the surgery OK and spent the night in the hospital but now home and it feels good to be home. Just laying real low and sleeping. I wanted to get this card posted before I nod out again so it will be ready for Friday's FF at Catch the bug this is sock monkey months. So I guess it sounds like there will be a month theme of sock monkeys coming out. I have grand children starting school and think this would be a cool card for a teacher.
challenges:
4 crafty chicks #105 - back to school
dysu #87 back to school
pixie dust studio - back to school theme
ccee stampers #1235 - back to school

recipe: sock monkey /ctb, words mft, apples from all that scraps stamp-apple emma, copics, stickles, ek punch, corner chomper, kraft base, cosmo cricket

Please pray and give good thoughts for me

Sunday August 26, 2012.. Monday (27th) I am having two in one surgeries for some inner plumbing that has been messed up for some time so I will post a few cards that are coming up now, but not for any challenges. I will be in the hospital for an over night stay then home and bed rest. I will play it by ear on how I am feeling regarding posting and challenges. I could use some prayers and happy thoughts if you get a chance. I will be back as soon as possible. All depends how I feel. Thanks and thanks for all the wonderful comments on my cards. I love visiting you all. Hugs.

Thank you for being a wonderful friend
