Quick Check In

Hi All! Just checking in today. It has been a much better day today and Percocet and I have had a splitting of ways so to speak. I am managing pain well with Tylenol today so I'm keeping with that. I am excited that I might get to sleep in my own bed tonight! The reclining chair has worked well for me but I can't wait for my own bed!!!!

I have been nominated for the Rockin' Bloggers Girl Club! I'm so excited! I've seen people with this cute little pink Rockin' Blogger GIF but I was never nominated until now! Thanks Kristine!!! I'm supposed to nominate 5 more ladies so here I go!

I'm Here

Just thought I'd let you know that I am here and alive. The gallbladder surgery on Tuesday went very well. The doctor was stunned at how large my stones are. The largest one is the size of a quarter...think size of a dime for most of them. The recovery has not been much fun but I have made a new friend named...Percocet. So happy to have it! Hopefully I'll be able to post something tomorrow but if not I should be okay on Saturday.

Anywho...have a great night everyone and I'll check in tomorrow!

Oh, and is Todd's bingo card not the cutest thing? I know his grandma will just LOVE it! :0)

Back for a Day!

For those new to Lorie's site, I'm Todd. I am the luckiest man alive, I'm married to Lorie. So for my post today I have a card. Lorie and I found a neat little bingo stamp for my grandmother. Lorie and I send her a card each month since my grandfather died this past December. Grandma Colby really enjoys bingo so we thought it would be nice to send her something she would enjoy. So here it is. I'll post each month with the next version. Enjoy the idea and have a great day.

Got it done!

Alright, I got Todd's anniversary card done but, I can't show it to you because he's going to be updating for me for a day or two. So, I'm sure if I tell him not too he'll not click on an SCS link to it. So....if you want to see it click HERE. I love it and I think he'll really like it to. If you can think of any fun sayings to go with it (that has to do with anniversaries) let me know!

And, since the link doesn't count as an actual picture I'll post another. This I made a couple of days ago for a couple of swaps that I'm involved in. I hope everyone likes it! I know I think it is sooooo cute! This is with the sets Zoofari and Big Deal Alphabet. Oh, and the background is Weathered. I CASEd this card from HERE and I believe she CASE'd it from someone else. I decided not to post this on SCS because it is soooo CASEd. The cardstock is Blue Bayou, Real Red, So Saffron, and Whisper White. Ink: Close to Cocoa, Bordering Blue, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, Blue Bayou, and Stazon Black. Accessories would include...Brads and the Cutter Kit (to rough up the edges of the Real Red).

Todd should be posting tomorrow so I hope you enjoy what he has to share. I hope to be back on Wednesday.

Card for a friends daughter

I got an e-mail from a friend from one of my Yahoo groups. Her daughter had to have some surgery on her foot and it turned into something much bigger than they thought. Heidi asked if we would send her daughter a RAK to bring a smile to her face. I thought that would be a fun thing to do so this is what I came up with.

The dots on the top part of the card are from the NEW background stamp from SU! called Polka Dot (go figure!). I love that stamp. I can see myself using it on a regular basis. The 'J' is a piece of decorated chipboard, the designer paper is from SU! and is Polka Dots and Paisleys, the sentiment is from the Vases in Vogue Level, 3 hostess set, and the beautiful Regal Rose grosgrain is the new 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon that SU! put in the new catty. Isn't it gorgeous?! I know, I know...I didn't link you to SCS this time. Always, changing things up aren't I?

Would you like to see something I made at the Stamp Into Summer yesterday? Which, by the way, was a lot of fun. Five of us from my upline's downline (did that make sense?) attended. This stunning card is made with Baroque Motif stamp set, Brocade Backgrounds DP, River Rock, Chocolate Chip, and Old Olive cardstock. Ink is Chocolate Chip and Versamark. Accessories are: Silver Embossing Powder (and all the stuff that goes with heat embossing), Rhinestone Brad, and River Rock Dble Stitched Ribbon. Stunning card, isn't it?

Oo0ps...dinner has arrived! See you tomorrow!
