An update and some cards!

Did you miss me? Well I certainly missed posting. We have had an eventful last few days and the start of this post is going to be rather educational, so you may want to skip it if you don't want to read it.

Have you ever been blind all of a sudden? Have you ever lost your ability to speak? Have your muscles been so weak that you have no fine motor control or motor control period? Chances are you may be suffering from a migraine. Yes, even without initial head pain. My poor DH suffered his very first migraine. Ironically, I experienced the EXACT same list of symptoms (add a severe headache to the list above) this past year. Go figure!? I am sharing this not to bore you but to educate you. Both DH and I thought we were suffering from something else each time (stroke, aneurysm?). I ended up in Emerg this summer while DH went to the walk in clinic. Migraines are very scary things! Bless all of you who have suffered or who suffer through them. I have had 4 to date and hope I never have another again.

The long of the short is I missed my post yesterday because I was helping DH. Then today I was busy helping him celebrate his birthday and making a few new cards! The kids (along with me of course) each presented him with a handmade/hand drawn card this morning. I will have you know my lil' princess insisted on wearing a pretty dress "for the party" and promptly asked are we getting goodie bags too? Out of the mouth of babes!

Yesterday I received this YUMMY card from the beautiful and talented Julie Campbell, my Prettie Girl Teammate over at Paper Pretties! (I actually card lifted this from her site so that it had her watermark on it)
Isn't it pretty?????



Included inside were some of the Wordsworth Stick People I LOVE these stick people. They are sooo easy to colour and I just love their fun nature!
I had asked Julie to stamp some of the images for me (after all she is on the Rubber Soul Team)--thank you Julie!!!!
I certainly plan to buy them ALL but a girl can only buy so many stamps at once! Besides, I am waiting for Christie to have them in stock at the Corner Store *wink wink !*
