Well, I'm slowly, but surely, coming back to the real world. I still have a couple of more weeks before the doctor will let me go back to work. In the meantime, I have got a wordart (finally!) for you. Hope you can use it.

Slowly Coming Back

Quick post--no kit or wordarts, though
Just a quick post...(actually, I doubt if anyone will actually read this...)
I have been sick thoughout January and so far into February. It turns out that my "cold" turned into pneumonia, which then turned into cardiomyopathy. That's right--"CARDIO", as in the heart. Me, not yet fifty, with no previous risk factors, came very close to having a major heart problem. (Not that what I have is not major)
I started retaining fluids, and that is what landed me in the hospital for 10 days. I weighed between 150 and 160 pounds when I went into the hospital (and I'm only 4'11") and ten days later I was back down to 130! That is a lot of fluid retention! I have to restict my fluids, and cut back on salt, stay out of work for a few weeks more, and for right now, I'm wearing a thing called a "Life Vest" which monitors my heart.
Ironically, the day I left the hospital was "America goes Red" day, a day on which people were incouraged to wear red in support of women's heart health.
I would like to encourage and urge anyone who is interested to check out the various web sites devoted to women's heart health, and if you can, check out your local hospital's cardio unit to see what you can do to help.

1st post of 2009
Hey there! I'm finally able to get my December kit up for you! (I know, "a day late, a dollar short") I'm gonna keep this post short today; just get to the freebies. I've had a cold this week, and when that combines with anemia and hypothroidism, I just feel so tired and wiped out. (Doesn't help that I was up all night coughing) But you didn't come here to hear me whine (where's the cheese?)--you came for the FREEBIES! So, without further ado, here is my December kit:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hey, just want to let you know-- I haven't forgotten the December kit-- it is sitting here on my computer, waiting to be uploaded. Unfortunately, since I waited until the last minute, my internet connection is acting up, and being very ssslllloooooooowww. (not only can I not upload my files,but downloading is slow too.) Kinda like me, LOL. Hopefully I'll get it up for you pretty soon. Like I am every month, I'm amazed at the colors I can find in Mother Nature's pallette for my colors for the kits! I think you'll like this one.
Speaking of slow...I just found out yesterday that I am anemic AND I have hypothyroidism. What a combo! It sure explains a lot of things. Maybe once I get my iron back up and start taking my thyroid meds for a couple of weeks I'll see a difference. I guess I'll have to take thyroid meds all the time now, and keep getting regular check-ups. *sigh* No more "oops, I skipped my physical this year" for me.
Well, I'm going off to catch some New Year's Eve shows...I hope all of you have a good New Year, and I'll try to see if my internet is any better tomorrow.

Christmas wordart
With Christmas just a few days away (ours WILL be WHITE this year, definitely), I wanted to post some wordart from one of my favorite Christmas songs. They are on one sheet, but can easily be "cut out" so you can use them the way you want to. Don't know yet if I will have a chance to post any more between now and Christmas, so if I don't, I want to wish everyone happiness and health for the holidays!

I'm Back!
Well, here I am, back in then land of the living. LOL Between my computer problems, the flu, and the ice storm, I wasn't sure when or if I'd ever get back to my blog! I have missed posting things, and checking out all the blogs for the goings on in the digital scrapbooking world.
Originally, I wasn't going to make a holiday kit. I felt there were so many great ones out there, and I really didn't want to do more green and red. However, when I was going through my pictures to use for my November kit, I came across one that had some red berries in it, and when I used kuler on it to pull out the colors, I knew it would make a nice, yet different, holiday kit. The red and green are a little softer than they are in most of the holiday kits out there, and the addition of the other, soft natural colors really help to tone it down a bit. Thus, "Noel" was born! I tried to use generic type embellishments for this kit, so it could be used for non-holiday pages, too. The wordarts are all Christmassy though. :)

I just realized that I forgot to put the color swatch with the psd color numbers on it in my folders. If anyone wants them (so you can make your own coordinating items) please feel free to email me to request a copy.
