I want to thank all of you for your well wishes and prayers for my mom. It's been an emotional journey that has a happy ending. Friday 1/6, my sister and I were advised by the doctors that my mom wasn't going to make it. Her sodium levels had dropped to a critical level and her body was shutting down. In a flash we found ourselves saying our good byes. Well it seems as though God had other plans for my mom. He wasn't ready for her yet. After 4 days in ICU my mom was released and is doing fine. I am so thankful to still have my mom!
I'm thrilled to be the guest designer over at Stuck On U Sketches! Back in 2010 I was on their design team. Sandi, one of the co-creators of SOUS asked me to be a guest designer, and I couldn't resist.
Thanks girls for having me!
Thanks girls for having me!
Here are a few closeups:
I got to use my new Martha Stewart Vintage Doily punch. I hunted high and low for this punch and was finally able to purchase it from Frantic Stamper. What do you think of that beautiful resin photo corner? Isn't it beautiful!!!! I found it at Michaels. They have several different packages of them by Recollections.
The newest sketch at SOUS is designed by Nanne, and it's a gorgeous sketch:
