You could not believe

I've been so sick this weekend along with Melody and Jordan. To top off the bout of sickness I threw my back out. Can you believe it? I'm doing so much better today, and so are both the kids. Luckily since it's only 3 days until Thanksgiving. I'm still going to be recovering from my back, but I'll be able to get around. Hopefully I'll be well enough to sit through watching Twilight sometime while in town.

Oh man, I'm sicker then a dog. I realized I never really thought about that saying before. How sick is sicker then a dog? Oh well, I'm sick and so are the kids. Stupid sinuses are pounding, and my nose is all stuffed up. I don't want to do anything but sit and scrap. I have managed to do that though and take care of the kid's basic needs. Probably going to be early bed for me..if I can sleep. Here are some new layouts for your enjoyment.

Renewed

So, after fighting with my computer for a little bit, I'm finally about ready for things to get back to normal. The kids and I visited with my parents this past weekend, and it was so nice. With us not having a car to travel together in, it's been difficult to visit. Hopefully that will change soon.

I've been busy scrapping since I got back. Here's some for your viewing enjoyment:

Designer News

So one of the designers I CT for has a new store. Paula Phillips Designs is now available at Digital Candy and this week she's got a sale going on. How cool right!?!

Super News

Ok, so my computer is finally up and running. I'm still installing all my usual programs so I'm not back on schedule but I'm getting there. Hopefully I'll be back to creating by tomorrow.

On to some super exciting news. Before the computer crash I applied to be on another Creative Team. I got the acceptance email today! I am now creating for Scrap With Nikki (Nikki Painter). I love her designs and can't wait to get creating with them. You can find her at Faith Sisters and ScrapwithNikki.com. Be on the lookout for her stuff!!

Virus

So my title has two meanings. We've been dealing with viruses and bacteria for several weeks now in my family. Loney's fight Staph infections, Jordan had the croup and is coughing, and Melody has had a runny nose all week. Luckily I've stayed clear of the virus's. At least for my body. My computer on the other hand is a completely different story.

My computer is down for who knows how long. I'm hoping Loney will take pity on me and try to fix it. So until that happens, no new scrapbook pages. I guess I should take this opportunity to clean my house. hmmmm.....

Be sure to check out what's new at Faith Sisters though. The newsletter is up and there's some great stuff. http://faith-sisters.blogspot.com/2008/11/faith-sisters-digital-scrapbooking-new.html

Well, I'm off to bed. Night!!

Fall Back

I just love the end of Daylight Savings Time.  Getting an extra hour of sleep anytime is the way to go.  I've been loving the rain we got yesterday and feeling the freshness outside today.  Just perfect for a nice walk.  Too bad I didn't get to go with Loney when he did take a walk.  

Jordan is feeling so much better, which I'm extremely greatful for.  He's got his color back and is running all over the place.  Melody has decided to get a runny nose now though, so hopefully it doesn't turn into croupe for her.  

I finished a couple of layouts today and thought I'd post.  The first one is from a new kit by Pineapple Plantation Designs called Emily.  Fabulous kit with such rich fall like colors.  So warm and pleasing.  You gotta get it.

The second one is for the Template Challenge given by Chrissy W.  I really love her templates and her generousity of offering the freebies is mind boggling.  I used Krystal Hartley's Crush kit found at Funky Playground Designs.  Love the bright fun colors of this kit.

This is Halloween

If any of you have watched Nightmare before Christmas I know you're all singing now.  

Today was a fairly low key day.  Especially after the night we had.  Around 1:00 Loney and I headed to the hospital with Jordan.  He was coughing and breathing really shallow since going to bed, and he woke up crying and just in a panic.  Basically he was treated for Croupe and received 2 breathing treatments and a steroid shot in the bum.  He was a trooper, and is feeling much better today.  Well, since not getting  home from the hospital until almost 4:30, we were exahusted and I slept until 10 when Melody insisted I get up.

I spent the day filling Jordan's prescriptions and picking up a few more things for the little get together later.  I made a crock pot full of chili along with some corn bread (didn't turn out the greatest) and goodies that I ate way to much of.  

We got the kids dressed in their costumes.  Melody made the cutest Tinkerbell and Jordan loved his Darth Vader costume.  We headed to Seemore's Too for the trunk or treat they had.  Jordan had a blast and Melody even enjoyed herself.  

Well, everyone came over and we watched the Chiller special to see if "Enter the Trojan Horse" was excerpted.  Of course it wasn't, but was interesting to see who won the contest nonetheless.

Just writing what all happened has made me tired so I'm off to bed.  I will leave you with one layout I created the other day.
