Ugh...Strep Throat

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I have strep throat. Not sure how I got that. After I came home I crashed on the couch and proceeded to go downhill. I ran a pretty high fever for the most part of yesterday and only in the wee hours of the morning started to feel the fever breaking. I still have the very sore throat and my neck is killing me. But I would have to say that today is much of an improvement over yesterday. Still very light headed but at least I can move around. Thank you to all who have left me kind get-well's.
My ds this morning when he saw me said "I prayed for you last night at church to get better". How sweet is that. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. My dh has been quite the champ in taking care of me. He keeps reminding me of our vows "in sickness and in health". What a sweetheart.

Have a blessed day,
Stephany

What a wonderful weekend and a FREEBIE

I had a great time at our Women's Retreat this past weekend. I feel so renewed and filled with the Holy Spirit. God has a great way of getting our attention, mine was by smelling a skunk. LOL More on that later.

Crystal I finally got the girl kit done for Argyle Grunge. I hope you like it as well as everyone else. It personally is one of my favorites. Leave me a comment if you like this kit. Thanks!



Expired (You wil find this in the Scrap Debris store in the next couple of days for $1.00)

We saw a double rainbow...

tonight as we were finishing dinner. It was so beautiful. I tell you what, Our God is an AWESOME God. I have seen a double rainbow before but never one that you could see both ends on the opposite sides of each other.

Well dh and I are currently working on wiring the living room for a surround sound system that we only paid $35 for. What a great deal. We cannot say thank you enough to our friends that just wanted to get it out of their house. It had been sitting in the box since they moved here a year ago. DH has been wanting a surround sound for-ever. I can't say that wiring is an easy job. Every hole in the wall has presented new challenges. First hole dh and I had to work out a system of communitacion and the cordless drill battery DIED; second hole we realized was the same area as some electrical wires and DH didn't want to drill there (no wonder why there!); We are currently working on the third hole and it is on an exterior wall (sort of) and there is the pink insolation we are dealing with along with both drill batteries DEAD, uggggggh; I can only imagine what the fourth hole has for us. I am so tired that I want to just come back to it on another day but my DH is not a quiter and so therefore I will stay up as long as I can to help him. It's amazing what we will do for those we love, like I got to put holes in the wall, lol. Guess I better get back to it before I really do become too tired to help.

I will be posting some more LO's and freebies soon (I finally got Argyle Grunge Girl kit done) and taking down Spring's reflection around the same time so get it while you can. After that I will be sending my stuff to a friends store to try to make a dollar or two. It never hurts to try, right?

Have a blessed day and night,
Stephany

Finally Got Another Freebie Done...

Well it's about time, don't you think? I have been working on this kit for a couple of weeks off and on and finally called it done. Then after finishing it I had trouble naming it. My friend Karen stayed up late last night with me giving me ideas until she came up with Spring's Reflection. I liked the sound of that so I hope you all agree.

Update on my little man, we are still having to keep him down for another week so he doesn't spilt his head open. The staples are out and it is healing really well. Last night we were doing a devotional about consequences and I prayed that God would help Andrew to learn about them. Well, wouldn't you know he had to learn them first hand. He was picking at his head where he had surgery and I saw he had picked off a scab (I know, eewww). I decided that he would sleep in his arm splints so as not to pick any more. I pray he learned from that lesson because I don't want to have to fight the arm splint battle again. Please continue to pray for healing and willful obedience to follow the Dr.'s orders and Mommy's/Daddy's orders.

Also please pray for a dear, sweet "little" friend of mine named Meleah. She is only 10 years old but 1 inch shy of being as tall as me. Okay so that is not hard to beat since I am only 5' 1". Anyway, she just found out that she has type one diabetes. Please pray for her and her family as they are learning to adjust to this. Her mom and dad are some of the sweetest people I know. We love all of them dearly!


You are probably wondering where the link to the freebie is by this time. Well, thank you for being patient. Don't forget to leave me some sweet comments. I love to hear from you. There are 7 papers, ribbons, flowers, and frames, 3 arrows (thank you to Shawna at Scrap-n-Stuff for the shape), 1 Tag.

Thanks for reading and have a blessed day,

We get the staples out today, yea!

Woo-hoo, we are going this afternoon to remove Andrew's staples and see for the first time see how things look. I am praying it does not hurt him too much. It will also be good to let him ride his bike again. We have been playing outside a little more and even kicking the soccer ball back and forth. I have even let him play in his sand turtle if he did not get any sand in his bandage. He actually did pretty good not throwing sand. Whew, I'm excited about today.

Also, I have been working off and on on a girl kit. I am so bad a naming kits so I may finish it and then ask for opinions on names. I hope to have it finished by next week. I'm not very fast at these things. For some reason I have been struggling for a theme. I don't have a girl so I am just guessing at what I would want in a girl kit.

Have a blessed day,
Stephany
