I haven't been on my blog since 2012! I can't believe it has been that long. So many things have changed in those 9 years!! I just retired on Jan. 28, 2021. Now I hope to spend more time doing fun, relaxing things. I thought the first thing would be to try to get my blog back. It doesn't look anything like it did, and I have to figure this out. I've tried for the longest time to get on it, and it would just keep coming up to a "widget" advertisement page. (??) </span></span><div><span style="color: #800180; font-family: Emilys Candy;"><span style="background-color: white;"> So, please wish me luck and visit often. </span></span></div>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701429843203097828noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357376963448919193.post-3062713558561102232012-06-20T07:00:00.000-05:002012-06-20T07:00:26.458-05:00Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple;">I'm so glad to be participating in this months OBG hop!! I haven't made any cards for about 3 months!! Posting on my blog has been lacking too!! (P.S. I hate this new Blogger layout for posting!!) </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Our blog hop showcases cards made with items that we have had "stashed" for at least 6 months. An "Oldie but goodie" that we've pulled out and blown off the dust to create something with it.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I made 2 cards for the hop today!! I actually colored them about 3 months ago, but they have just been sitting around! They are both</span><a href="http://www.sassycherylsdigis.com/store/"> <span style="color: red;">Sassy Cheryl</span> </a><span style="color: purple;">Birthday images. This is Birthday Balloon boy.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Cardstock is Yoyo Yellow, dp is "Celebrations" bu the Paper Studio. I added 2 balloon brads and used Bakery Twine for the strings. Sentiment is a miscellaneous one, ink is Pacific Blue. I used the SU oval and scalloped oval punch and pierced it. It is colored with Copics.</span><br />

I have been very, very delinquent in card making and posting to my blog!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Ever since I got my Kindle, it seems all I have been doing is reading, reading and reading!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">It used to be one of my favorite things to do. takes much less effort than card making!! ha ha...</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I do miss getting my creative juices flowing, however!! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Tomorrow, Saturday, I am going to visit Hunter! Haven't seen him since February!! Hopefully we will all get to see him in July and have a Birthday party for him. His Birthday was May 25. They went camping for the weekend, so we didn't get to see him. My daughter is still proceeding with court to get him back!! It is such a long, hard road!! But we have high hopes!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Sunday I am having a Bridal Shower for Cristine. The wedding is June 25 in the Virgin Islands!! Not too far away!! Only 2 weeks. Can't wait to share all of the pictures when we get back.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> I have lost 37 pounds so far, since I started my weight loss journey. The Bride has lost 18, (not that she needed to lose any, though.) Can't wait. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Sorry I haven't visited any blogs, either!! I PROMISE to start again, soon!!! I do miss all of my blogging friends!!!</span>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701429843203097828noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357376963448919193.post-10702145914125387542012-04-28T11:24:00.000-05:002012-04-28T11:24:11.809-05:00Nurse Margaret and......<span style="color: purple;"> Here is a new card....finally!!!!

<span style="color: purple;">She is colored with Copics. The card stock is by Gina K, Pure Luxury Vibrant Violet & White. The dp is Bazzill, "Jaybird Street". I rounder all of the corner with my Creative Memories Corner Rounder (Did I ever say how much I love that tool? ha ha) Then I added some stickles and some bling!! Her hair and glasses are more purple looking IRL.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"> Now....here is my new car!!! Just got it on Wednesday!! My daughter, Jenn, is a car sales person, and of course I bought it from her. It is a 2011 Kia Optima LX.

I know I've been missing for awhile.... I've been here, just not in the mood for blogging. I still have a lot of pain if I sit up for too long. I had a CT scan yesterday, and it showed no hernia or infection in my abdomen, so I guess it's just post op pain that is staying with me longer than normal. Just my luck!!! I have to go back to work tomorrow, too! Wish me luck. I have to sit for 10 hours, so we will see how that goes!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> I did color all of those images last week....</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"> It is such a nice day out today, I actually took a 30 minute walk!! Maybe I'll get another in later. I want to try to make a few more cards with my colored images..</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Have a great day everyone!!!</span>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701429843203097828noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357376963448919193.post-13988694503750242042012-03-21T12:24:00.000-05:002012-03-21T12:24:44.161-05:00Celebrate!!! <span style="color: purple;">Hey there!! I've been gone awhile, I know! Thought I would get a bunch of posts ready first, but it didn't happen. Anyway, I had some surgery done last Wed, 3-14. Came home on Friday, but went to the ER on Sunday with a lot of shortness of breath. Turns out I had 2 moderate to large pulmonary effusions. I had about 2 liters of fluid in my chest cavity around my lungs, making it hard for me to breathe. So I got admitted over night, had some IV diuretics and after peeing a lot, I went home on Monday. I am feeling a whole lot better now. Even pain is much better. My Mom was here visiting the whole time, so that helped. My 2 DD's were with me as well, a lot of the time. They scared me in the ER telling me the "usual" way to get rid of the fluid is with chest tubes and needles and such. Glad we didn't go that route!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Anyway, here is a card I made before all of that!! Isn't it a cutie??</span> <span style="color: purple;"> He is a Sassy Cheryl's digi called</span> <a href="http://www.sassycherylsdigis.com/thank-god-for-summers/"><span style="color: red;"> "Thank God For Summers-Boy"</span></a>.<span style="color: purple;"> I colored him with Copics, shaded with Pebbles Chalk. The card stock is Chocolate Chip, Kraft, and the dp is a new Gina K, called <a href="http://shop.ginakdesigns.com/product.sc?productId=1233&categoryId=-1"><span style="color: red;">"Casual Friday"</span></a>. The sentiment is from an SU Set, Spring Pictograms. </span><br />

So my drink of choice, besides water, is now Herbal teas. I used to be a big tea drinker in the past, but somehow went to coffee (and Diet Pepsi.) </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> The card stock is </span><span style="color: purple;">Green Gable, the dp is Bazill Basics "Jaybird Street." I added some Petaloo Flowers, and for the tea bag string and label I used Bakers Twine and a button. I thought that was clever of me!!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: purple;"></span> It was a little tough getting up this morning for work, due to day light savings time, but I did go to bed a little bit early. Last night, after work I went bowling with my DD and her fiance. I didn't do too well at all, a 93 and 135. Considering my average is about 150!! Maybe the 3rd game would have hit it!! I just didn't want to be out late!! Boy, am I getting old!! ha ha </span><br />

Happy Sunday to you all!! I woke up to more snow this morning. Not sure how long it is going to last or how much we will get. It is still my day off, so I really don't care!! Plus, I don't have to shovel, as I live in an apartment!! I do have to run to the store to get more veggies, however. Since Wednesday, I have given up caffeine, eating only high protein shakes and bars and veggies. Plus lots of water and herbal teas. I have lost 6.8 lbs so far. I get a little hungry now and then, but then I try to eat veggies or Sugar Free Popsicles or jello. Wish me luck!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"> A plus, is that my 5 day headache is almost gone!!! I went to the eye doc yesterday, and turns out I have a large cataract in my right eye. I've had double/triple vision in in for 5 days now. I just had my eyes checked in September, and it was small then. My headache was all around my eye, and I was really afraid that maybe I had a tumor!! Turns out, he said it is a migraine, but not my typical one. I have 3 days off of work now, so hopefully I'll be relaxing all weekend, and it will stay away!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">I originally had a sun in the right hand corner above the vase of flowers, but I went to sponge on more ink, and accidentally put the sponge into the Green Galore!!! Didn't know until it hit the paper. So, since the sun doesn't have any green on it, I had to cut it off. I really did not want to start all over.</span><br />

It's fun, now that I've tried it a few times!!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple;"> This next card is a note card that I turned inside out. I used a Martha Stewart Border punch, sponged the front with Cameo Coral and added the sentiment which I "shadow cut". The dp is a Martha Stewart paper, Punch pad.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">I was on a roll Saturday!! I actually whipped up 4 cards!! Here is my second one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">This is a Meljen's digi.</span> <span style="color: purple;">The</span><span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/2012/02/challenge-95-loving-you.html"><span style="color: red;">challenge </span></a></span><span style="color: purple;">there this week is about </span><span style="color: red;">LOVE.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">I think my love for our great country, the USA, qualifies!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple;"> I colored with Copics, the dp is called "The Liberty Collection" by Bo Bunny. This is the first time I have used paper by that company. The card stock is Brilliant Blue and Real Red. I used my Creative Memories Corner Rounder. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> I added some buttons with twine. I also used the Bow-Easy again!!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"> Maybe I should have printed the digi on a vanilla or a kraft paper, now that I'm looking at the card! It's kind of a bright white!! </span>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701429843203097828noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357376963448919193.post-18308426059759760572012-02-05T13:21:00.003-06:002012-02-15T14:19:45.963-06:00Buttons & Bows <span style="color: purple;">I love snowmen!! This little guy is a digi by</span><a href="http://www.sassycherylsdigis.com/" style="color: red;"> Sassy Cheryl. </a><span style="color: purple;"> He is called the Flat Bottom Snowman. The challenge this week over at Cute Card Thursday, was </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">#202 Buttons & Bows.</span></a> </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"> I think he is adorable!! I even used my Bow-Easy again!! I think I'm finally getting the hang of it! I added buttons instead of his charcoal buttons! The dp is Martha Stewart Holidays. It has "Snow Days" written on it, but I couldn't really get it to show. It also has red, white and blue mittens. I cut one of the red mittens out so you could see it. I colored his mittens to match. I also just got some </span><a href="http://www.doodlebug.ws/Catalog/Catalog.aspx?CatID=106"><span style="color: red;">"Doodle twine"</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> from Doodlebug Designs that I used. The ribbon is by SU.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> I thought it went perfectly with his stripes on his mittens. Card stock is Brilliant Blue, and of course, Gina K Pure Luxury White. I used my Creative Memories shape maker to cut out the circles, and the CM corner rounder.</span><br />

I wasn't really patient, so all I managed to make were some hearts and this "Love" sentiment.</span><br />

I'm going to enter it at</span><a href="http://stampsruschallenges.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;"> Stamps R Us</span></a><span style="color: purple;">, their challenge is Valentine/Love.</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">This next card is a </span><a href="http://www.phindysplacechallenge.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">Phindy's</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> digi, called Bug Buddy. The challenge was to use the inspiration photo for our creation.

Over at </span><a href="http://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">Crazy 4 Challenges</span></a><span style="color: purple;">, the challenge was "Layers & Embellies." </span><a href="http://sassycherylschallenge.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;"> Sassy Cheryl's </span></a><span style="color: purple;">challenge this week was "Punch & Shimmery."</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Card stock is Yoyo Yellow, Real Red & Gina K Pure Luxury White. The dp is a miscellaneous piece from a mat stack. I used SU Scallop and Oval Scallop punches. I added some stickles for the sun, and put some highlights in his hair. The sentiment is an SU one, but I can't recall the name of the set. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"> So, I am hoping to get some practice in with the Cricut. It came with 4 cartridges, so there is plenty to choose from. I have to work tomorrow, to fill in for someone, but I'll be off on Sunday.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Today I did get my taxes filed, so I accomplished something!! I also made some Chicken Soup today. Didn't take a picture, though.. It was very good!!!</span>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701429843203097828noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357376963448919193.post-87785038279812051922012-02-01T13:45:00.002-06:002012-02-15T14:23:39.216-06:00Soup!!!<span style="color: purple;"> I haven't been too crafty lately, but I have been cooking!!! I've been into soup!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">This first soup is the family recipe for Vegetable soup with meatballs. I kicked it up a notch by adding barley, corn and pieces of beef. The key ingredient is Allspice. My Grama always put in whole, I used both whole and ground. It was very tasty!! (Gram put in 20 whole allspice. I added ground, not sure how much, just keep adding until you like the taste.) Just make sure you don't eat the whole ones!!! Yukkkk</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Here is my next "creation." I added Butter beans, Dark Red Kidney beans and Black beans. I added the ground allspice plus garlic, parsley, and Five spice powder. It turned out more like a stew instead of a soup, but still yummy!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"> Next is my Chicken Vegetable soup. It has chicken breast and thigh pieces plus chicken meatballs. The veggies in all soups are celery, onion, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes. I added some chopped red cabbage to this one, but you can't see it at all. For this soup I didn't use potatoes, but a 1/2 bag of has brown that I had in the freezer. This one doesn't have tomatoes either. </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Yesterday I went to the Emergency room. I was having chest pain for 2 days. I "knew" it wasn't my heart!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I am a nurse, after all! We are the worst patients!!! I went to work for an hour, then drove myself to the ER. All the way there (5 minutes) I thought for sure I was having a heart attack!! I had pain in my left shoulder and arm, and my hand felt tingly. Well, turns out, my heart is fine. (See, I knew it!!) My labs and EKG were normal. I had a stress test and that was good. So most likely it was due to stress, and then anxiety, worrying about it!! My Dad had his first heart surgery around my age, and then the next one at 72. He died 10 days after his successful surgery. My younger brother, had his first heart surgery at age 35. so far....I've bee blessed with the good heart genes!! I had a cardiac cath 4 years ago, and it was great. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> I had a very stressful day at work on Sunday with one of my co-workers, and I think it set me off!! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">So, now I need to learn to relax more and not let things bother me so much!!! Ha...easy to say!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"> Maybe tonight or tomorrow night I can get to a card or 2 made!!!</span>Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10701429843203097828noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357376963448919193.post-43950714386255600842012-01-24T06:00:00.044-06:002012-02-15T14:21:32.128-06:00 <span style="color: purple;"> It was great to have a Saturday off and nothing to do, except create!! </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">I colored with Copics, distressed the edge and sponged the white edges with YoYo Yellow ink. Stickles were added for a little bling. I added some mulberry flowers with brads. The sentiment is from SU, but I cannot recall the name. </span><br />
