Sisters

Good morning! Hope your week is going great so far. This is the layout I made yesterday  in honor of my precious sister Andreina. For hose of you who know me... remember I said I had a family emergency last week and had to travel? well..... read on!

My sister  went in for an emergency appendicitis and almost lost her life! It's a crazy story! The whole ordeal got complicated with an infection, had to have a second surgery and a drain put on her and on top of that her lungs collapsed! We are soooo thankful to God for all His provision and for sparing her life. We are also thankful to all the doctors, medical staff and hospital. They were  amazing. This is her resting peacefully at the hospital and  of course we had her in style! Pretty blanket, pretty jammies and cute turtles! She saw  a bunch of them crawling up the wall of the room (pain pills DO work!!!!) LOL

Our cousin Margarita (left) came all the way from Venezuela to be with us. She is like a sister to us and has always been there thru  thick and thin.

It was a loooooong and stressful week as you can imagine. Do you know how I handled it? (besides praying of course). I took a bunch of scrapping supplies and kept myself busy! Nurses loved coming into our room and doctors asked us if we had  moved in! 

I have to remind myself how fragile life is! I do not ever want to take for granted my family and friends. They are a gift from God and our job is to love them unconditionally just as He loves us. I pray you do the same. Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Is it summer yet?

Happy day! I dedicate this layout to those who live down south, in warm weather.........by the way, think of us when you are swimming in the middle of our winter!!!!! (ha ha ha). 

Have a wonderful and blessed  Wednesday !!!

Hello Tuesday!

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I can't believe it's February already...time to celebrate love! I have soooo much fun seeing all the chocolates and cute animals everywhere you go! Here are two more layouts I made recently. This first one is one my latest kits. The girls are from  Unity stamps. I colored them with Copic markers.

The clock and the lamppost are the new dies from Kaisercraft. My favorite color combo? Yes.... aqua/teal/tiffany blue and red!  I will be attending the Grand Opening event of  "Scrapping Moments in Time" as a Guest Designer this coming Saturday in Ft. Lauderdale. I am soooo excited to see my SF friends, can't wait to hug them all! Don't you just love your scrappin' buddies? They are the best! Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day filled with the joy of the Lord! 

Two New Kits

Good morning and happy Monday!  I hope that everyone had a safe and restful weekend.  I myself am coming back home after spending 10 days with my sister as she recovered from emergency surgery.  She just got out of the hospital this weekend and a cousin of ours came to town to relieve me while my sister recuperates at home.

With every batch of kits, I try to make one or two that are less girly and frilly.  Here are two recent kits that fit that description.  The first one is title The Woods.  I've put in all the things (including bugs) that are found out in the woods.

This next one is titled Chimps in Space.  I had another title in mind, but my husband suggested this one in homage to the recurring skit Pigs in Space from the old TV program The Muppet Show.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day and week!
