I Am Back!!!!!!!

 Well, my adoring fans, I'm back or at least for today.  I finally have a new computer.  If you used to follow me, you know that I've had a struggle with my computer over the last couple of years and just no time to fix it or put time into finding out what was wrong. My momma and daddy were both going through health issues.  My mom ended up on hospice and passed away in June of last year.  She had just turned 85 a couple weeks before. Previous to that hubby woke up on May 2 and couldn't breathe.  I rushed him to the hospital and well to make a long story short, he was transferred to a cardiac ICU hospital, came home with a life vest and a bunch of meds.  He had a defibrillator put in on the 27th of October and finally went back to work the second week in January. So for 8 months he was  home.  During all that my daddy was diagnosed with two different kinds of cancer and had surgery for the one plus plastic surgery, which meant running down to Detroit many times.  He's doing fine now, but has checkups for this and that and is doctoring for prostate cancer, but is feeling good and mowed his own lawn already this year.  He turns 86 in July.

Needless to say I've been a bit busy and have mostly just posted on Facebook off and on.  I'm still struggling with my bad knees, but the shots I've been getting in them are working so I'm so thankful for that.  I also had a couple of bouts of rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis all over my face.  Those were super fun,🙄 but I finally found myself a good dermatologist again after the one I'd been going to for years retired.  I'm thankful for the healing of this and now I know what to do should it flare up again.  Oh and by the way because of menopause my hair turned curly.  Yes, I now have curly hair and I'm learning the art of how to take care of curly hair.  LOL! Who would've thought?

Now that you are caught up I want to share some  projects with you and I will update you on all the SU things that are happening in upcoming posts.

We now have Product of the Month items.  You can purchase one of these each month that you place a one time order of $75 or more.  You are only allowed one per SU account/email that you have.  It is while supplies last and if you miss a month and still want the one from last month, you can choose that if it's still available.  I made these cards using the stamp set Notes of Spring.  I will put the things used at the bottom of this post. If you have questions please let me know.

Well thanks for sticking with me if you read this long post.  I truly am going to make it my mission to post here more often, even if it's just for myself.  I used to love to blog and who knows maybe I'll get back to doing some blog hops again,  Until next time......

Blessings,

Renee

Christmas Card a Day

 Happy Wednesday!  Well it’s almost over, but I wanted to get a post in today.  My hubby was injured at work on Friday and it’s been nothing, but phone calls, doctor appointments and pay work.  He’s going to be alright, but all the hoops one has to jump through.  I didn’t even get to stamp today. 🥲. I’ve been doing a card a day in November with a stamping group I’m in and it’s been fun, although I’m now a couple days behind.  I’ll share a couple tonight with you.  If you have questions please feel free to ask. There is a theme each day.  

Day 1 Oh Christmas Tree

Day 2 Traditional Christmas

OSAT ‘Tis the Season Blog Hop

 Welcome my friends to our ‘Tis the Season blog hop.  I’m so excited you have stopped by.  I guess I was so excited that I thought the hop was last week and had my projects ready a week ago.  LOL! These were fun projects to make.

This suite of products are my absolute favorite from the current mini catalog.  The suite of products is called Reindeer Days.  From the stamps and dies to the DSP and embellishments, this suite has it all.  It’s on pages 26 and 27 of the September-December catalog.  The Glimmer paper is also from the same catalog and can be found on page 53. I used the dies to cut the two deer out of the DSP so that made it super easy to make.  I will have the list of products used on the bottom of this post.

For my 3D wow project I decided to use a wood tree round I had on hand and had painted it black.  I then heat embossed the stamped image from the set in gold embossing powder.  I used some twine and some wood beads I had on hand to finish the ornament.  I think it’s a great complimentary project. 

I really hope you enjoyed my projects and if you have any questions please leave a comment and I’ll be glad to answer.  

Be sure to click on the next person’s name and take the hop with us today.  You’ll be glad you did.

Blessings,

Renee
