fun with fred!

okay....so I finished the LO I was working on not expecting to finish it 'til tomorrow. But I did! I love the Echo Park paper so much this is my second LO using this it!

I got the ribbon idea from a peep in the CK gallery. I love how it worked! Never thought I would use buttons or ribbon on a boy LO but I think it works!

it's Monday!

it's a rainy, kinda gloomy Monday! I was able to go to the Affton Days parade over the weekend! I will scrap about that this week. I am doing a LO today of my DS and me! Can I just say how great the peeps are on Club CK?! I made 2 new friends in the past 3 days! The warmth, support and encouragement are awesome! I get my 3rd infusion of new ms medicine tomorrow. After the 5th or 6th infusion I will stop calling it new. Seems kinda silly doesn't it? Anyway we went to church Sunday for the first time in a looooong while and it was great! God is so good! We all went to our respective classes afterwards and it was a real blessing for each of us! Well, off to scrap now!



                                

fun, fun, fun!

This LO is for Sketchy Thursdays and Scrapfit! I had such a blast with this because these are my new friends from the STL crop at Memories on Marshall just last weekend! I was inspired by all the designers at Sketchy Thursdays in one way or another. Thanks gals! All the pp is Echo Park's Life is Good, the flowers are misc. and Bazzill, and the buttons are from Basic Grey and my stash. The birds are from Maya Road. This was fun and it kept me busy most of the day!
So I saw my M.S. doc yesterday and she is very pleased with how I am doing! I passed all of my tests with flying colors! The only thing I had to do was get a blood draw and even that was no big deal! Thanks to everybody for their prayers, encouragement and support! God has blessed me greatly!

having good days!

so I'm getting around better and I have more energy than I've had in a long time! Praise God! My next infusion of medicine is a week from today and I see the M.S. doctor tomorrow. I only have good things to tell her! Thanks to all for the prayers, support and encouragement! I scrapped a LO today while lurking and chatting on Club CK. Good times I tell ya...good times! I'm going for a 1,000 posts by the end of the year which I was assured is doable by several peeps on the MBs! As of tonight I am already up to 450 - so it's definitely possible I predict. Anyway, this is what I did today.

STL crop with peeps!

Hi there! Just got back from Memories on Marshall where we had the STL crop from Club CK! It was AWESOME! I am so blessed to have met fellow peeps and made new friends! I was able to do a total of 14 LOs! It was so much fun scrapping with the girls and the food was 5-star! No kidding! Snacks were also provided and I loved  the pillows on my bed! The biggest thing I am thankful for was the fact that I did not think about having M.S. The weekend was relaxing, restful, and just plain fun! I left feeling inspired and motivated!
I see the doctor Wednesday and only have good things to tell her: I feel great! I truly believe God has answered my prayer to feel better by having me on this new medicine. I'm getting around better and have more energy. It's just good all around!

So one of the LOs I did was inspired by Diana from Sketchy Thursdays. I love the color green (really I love chartruese but...) so my LO is dedicated to this color and my thanks goes out to Diana for the motivation! I stamped, poked, punched, glued, traced and drew on this LO. I had a blast! TFL!

much better, feel great!

so I have been scrapping for 3 hours doing a 2 page LO for the issue challenge #1 for Club CK. It's a gorgeous day...sunny and 70! I am getting around really well and have been feeling AWESOME! I am in the process of packing for the STL crop this weekend at Memories on Marshall. I am very excited to meet and scrap with fellow peeps! We had an uneventful Labor Day 4 day weekend but it felt great to do nothing!

Flourish this, flourish that!

Today was fun! This LO is for the Frosted Designs challenge to add flourishes to a LO! I used my Epic 6 for the flourishes and clear stamps by rhonna farrer from Autumn Leaves and jet black ink. I had fun!
