Circle Circus

Hi Everyone!


It has been a long time since I last posted! I am still slowly recovering from my two back surgeries but I am finally starting to feel good and can sit up a lot longer during the day! Yea!

I have tried to get in the Scrapbook/Stamp'n room to make a card or two hear and there so I am going to post some of the stuff I have done over the past few months :) I can not get my hands on the notebook that I write the products/colors used for each card. Sorry. If I find it I will come back and edit the posts.

Have a Bless Day and thank your patience and coming back to visit me :)

Back Surgery Update

Hello Ladies!

Just an update on my back surgery progress....or lack there of.

I am still slowly healing from my November 2008 and May 2009 Back Surgeries. It's a super slow process and something I have no patience for! Unfortunately.....I have no choice but to be patient. God has a plan for me so I can only have Faith and trust in him to get me through this.

After an unsuccessful back surgery in November, they did a second surgery in May to fuse L5 & S1. It was a more invasive and a more complicated surgery. They did get two Cages in between L5 & S1 and used plates and screws to hold it all together. Sounds like fun doesn't it :) ha ha

My doctor says everything is looking good and I keep asking why I still hurt so bad if it all looks good and the healing is going well. He just says "Everyone heals differently". So at this point, it's still to painful to sit for to long and stamp. I'm hoping to try and get at least a few Thank You cards done because I have to write soooo many of them! :) I've been super blessed to have wonderful family, neighbors and friends! When I get those done I will post them.

Thank you so much for continuing to stop by and check in on me. I hope I will be back to the stamp'n and scrap'n soon because I am about to go bonkers without my stamps!!! Not to mention, I am so far behind on my albums! :)

I'm so sorry

Hi Everyone! I am so sorry for not posting in so long.

I'm still having a hard time with my back and I just can't sit long enough to get cards made :( I have to have surgery again the beginning of May and posting new project will all depend on how long it takes to recover and to sit in a chair for any length of time. It very well could be three months. Ugggg! SO, I will try and keep you updated on my recovery after the surgery but unfortunately, I will not have new cards or projects to post for a little while. But please, keep checking back just to see if there is anything new in a few months!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stamp'n & Scrap'n
