MORE HIVES!!! AND A PEARL!!!!

Darn things!!! I am SO sorry I did NOT come back ,as planned, last night!! However, my Mr. Kade, decided to have MORE hives!! We REALLY thought he had kicked them and that we were pretty sure what the culprit was!! He JUST went off the Prednesone, however you spell that, and there they were!!! SO.....as I am sure you have guessed, I slept with him last night, on the couch, out of WORRY!!!! I gave hin the Benedryl and it did seem to help!! BUT? No crafting or computer time for me. That has been hard to come by lately, I MUST admit! Therefore, I have decided.....with LOTS of thought and SADNESS, that I NEED to cut my responsibilities AGAIN!!! I hope that you will PLEASE hang in there with me thru this!! You know I ALWAYS give 110% and it is only fair to the DT's I am on!!! Until my son is thru all this, I will have to be fair and use my crafting time WISELY!!!! Haha!! Imagine that?! I will have SOME time? So......I do not want to give up all together!! SO...stay tuned as I go thru this NEXT phase and I THANK YOU all for your thoughts and prayers!! Have an AWESOME day and I will see you later today for these FABULOUS creations!!

Hey there!! How are you all?? I have MISSED you!!! It has been an ordeal.....to say the least!! My son has given me palpatations, for sure!!!! SO...that along with my computer?? I feel like it has been............FOREVER!!!!! If you have NOT seen Mr. Kades' ER pic, from last week, here ya go!!

Now, isn't that pretty?? UGH!! I am tellin' ya!! I have REALLY not gotten a lot done, as far as crafting goes and you can see why!! He has had some headaches, that stemmed from that LOVELY shiner and still has had some HIVE issues!! I don't even know if I went into ALL that stuff with you!! OH well.....suffice to say.......Kade MUST be allergic to something and we are going to be working on that for awhile, I do believe!!! I must say though, after sleeping SEVERAL nights on the couch with him?? You know I am paranoid don't you? I am happy to be back in my OWN bed!! Haha!! SO glad we BOTH can sleep a little easier!!!

OK.....so....on to the FUN stuff......right?? As you know, SWEET PEA STAMPS is our WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY sponsor this month, and it is also MIX IT UP MAY!!!! A HUGE thank you to SWEET PEA!!

Thank you to our Daredevil, Randi for arranging all of this and to the Awesome LYNETTE, owner of SWEET PEA STAMPS, for her generosity in sponsoring us! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

A little bit about SWEET PEA........
Sweet Pea Stamps range from whimsical to artistic. The images are designed with incredible detail. They are tiny works of art that can be colored and used with infinite possibilities. Because the average image size is 3.5 x 2.5 inches, they are also perfect for making ATC's. They are made of high quality, unmounted red rubber. They have an amazing collection of images from three talented fantasy artists: Ching-Chou Kuik, Elaine Cox, and Lisa Victoria. If you would like to see more samples, please check out the Sweet Pea Stamps blog.
