I finally organized my designer paper!

Wednesday I started the day off with being very dizzy with position changes. I went to work and hoped that one of the ER docs could help me out. I just got dizzier and began throwing up, so my husband had to pick me up and take me home. I went to the Doctors office on Friday and was diagnosed with BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo). It is an inner ear problem that causes a spinning or whirling sensation when you move your head. Back in the day, that would happen after a few too many alcoholic beverages!! I had this about 5 years ago and it lasted almost 2 months. I have a Physical Therapy appt next week, so hoepfully that will help a lot. (It did in the past.)
So today, since I can sit and make some movements without getting nauseated, I thought I would sort out my Designer paper! They are not in any particular order, but my SU is in the front, I have Creative Memories in the middle, and Miscellaneous print and solids in the back.
This will help a lot when making a card and knowing the name of the paper! One of my SCS friends, Ami Adams made this cute card and sent it to my Mom. It is adorable!
I made a template so I could make my own. Haven't made it yet, but I will. Maybe I can get it made later and post it tomorrow.
My husband is going to drive me out of town tomorrow, so I can go with my Mom to a Remembrance ceremony for our loved ones who have died in the last year. It's going to be a hard month. (My Dad died unexpectedly on June 29, 2008)

WOW! Looks great! The only way mine is organized is away from the card stock! LOL! You should be proud! I'm sorry about your Dad. I lost mine five years ago with cancer. I like to think we have our own personal guardian angel as many things have happened that had his "stamp" on it.
Please know prayers for peace and comfort are with you and your family.
Blessings to you all!
