Goodbye Ruthie

Please join me in prayer for the family of Ruthie (Ruth Singer - Sugarshack Scraps). Ruthie lost her battle to cancer recently after only recieving the diagnosis a short time ago. I had the opportunity to work with Ruthie briefly early this year after being referred to her for assistance with a project I was working on. She was such a sweetheart and did so much for the digital scrapbooking community. Her talent and sweet spirit will certainly be missed.

Just Chatter

Sorry - no prezzies for you today. :( Been a little crazy around here as I got a new laptop for my anniversary (and Christmas and any other holiday for the next year . . .thanks hubby! Love it! It has TWO 320 GB hard drives in it. No more toting around that EHD to my crops or when I am traveling). So I have been trying to set that up for me, my old laptop up for hubby and our old desktop up for the kids. I figured since Shane was starting school in the fall it is probably time to let him play on the computer some. I have really avoided it because I think he already has too much technology time with his TV addiction.

I haven't really felt that creative though anyway. In the last week, my Mom was in the hospital for most of the week and I couldn't be there and I also had two friends pass away. One was 95 and lived a long and fulfilling life but she will be missed by many. The other friend was only 29 - such a sad thing for life to end before it was even really lived.


But at least I have all of you to cheer me up.


- Thanks for all of your comments on the pages I designed for Lisa. They were most appreciated.


- Sherah, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love. I really had fun playing with your CU grab bags.


- Lei - How cool! It is kind of surreal to see something I made being used by someone else and did a fab job too. (She used my quote tag to make a brag book page which you can get free here):






And a special thanks to Vicki aka Digilover's Addiction for the wonderful surprise she gave me this week.



Isn't she just the sweetest? Think I will pass this on to some others as it really brightened my day. I'll just have to think about who first though.

Before I got finished typing this, I received another call with more sad news. Someone I know, Jill, and her child (and family) are in need of much prayer. Her infant was involved in an accident and the doctors are telling her that there is a blood clot on the little one's brain. Please remember them in your prayers.

Til next time. . .

Quickpages coming soon . . .

Just wanted to drop you a little note to tell you I will hopefully be able to get some quickpages up for you soon. I have had a couple of major projects at work so haven't had any "extra" time I can steal away for my digi-addiction. Although one of the projects was preparing for and teaching a class on digital scrapbooking - which was pretty cool. Thanks to the couple of you that responded with their ideas. They were very helpful.

My Grandma is doing amazingly well. Praise God! She celebrated her 75th birthday on Saturday. We still don't know what the treatment will be for the heart issue as they won't be able to move forward with this until the blood clots in her lungs are resolved. Thank you for you prayers.

Please be in prayer for Anita, her husband of 41 years passed away unexpectedly a few days ago. If you have a moment, stop by her blog and leave her some love.

Blessings!

Have insomnia tonight so I thought I would do something productive and made another quickpage for you. But first I have to share a prayer request. Please say a prayer for my Grandma Mary. She was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday for breathing difficulties. Later that night, she had to be put on a respirator. The first diagnosis from the lung specialist looked good because they thought it was just pneumonia. She was also seen by a heart specialist on Thursday who said she has a leak around her heart but that they couldn't treat that until the infections in her lungs cleared up. Today, however, the lung specialist came in to see her again with the results of her tests and told her that she has blood clots in her lungs and that she was lucky to be alive because most people with that condition it is instantly fatal. (Yeah - no need to upset an ailing woman or anything!). So we are waiting as they determine the best course of treatment. She has been off the respirator since Friday afternoon and is only on oxygen now so at least that is good. Thanks in advance for your prayers and now on to the reason you stopped by . . .

This was created using Cherry Lime Parfait by Anita Designs. Aren't these colors perfect together?



Here is the layout I made the quickpage from.
