Well hello everyone!
For all two of you who have been wondering where I've been...(and thanks for calling me young lady!) I'm here with an update!
My shoulder/arm surgery was last week and went really well! We went from a 6-12 month recovery time to 6-8 week recovery time! Woohoo! Apparently the MRI lied! I have to tell you a couple of funny things........one, when I was being prepped to go in the O.R. the nurse came over with a rubberstamp and stamped my shoulder with the big word "Yes"! See, even when I'm not at home stamping or shipping our gorgeous stamps to you I'm still stampin! Dang, I wish I had a picture of that!
The other funny thing was when the surgeon came to the recovery room and was talking to my husband and I.......he told me that he wasn't going to give me a sling for my arm because he wanted me moving it right away. I called him a "weanie." My husband leaned over and whispered something like, "Honey, you really shouldn't call your surgeon a weanie." Let's just say that I was under the influence of something or another when I did that, okay? I love my surgeon.
The day before my surgery I had my swap cards due! I was really happy with how cute my card turned out. 
I used Laughter and Merriment from Hero Arts and some Meadow Notecards from Memory Box. The ribbon is some of that cool adhesive backed ribbon from DCWV. And the stars......I drew them freehand and did shrinky dink! I loved doing that!
I thought our swap cards were exceptional this time! Check them out in the side bar!
Hope you all had a swell Thanksgiving! We did. It was quick trip to Sebastopol where my in-laws live. We took two cars because both of my teenagers had to work the day after Thanksgiving (Lauren at Old Navy and Erik at the Peach Pit) so we came home late Thanksgiving night. Check the side bar for photos! Erik made green bean casserole (he's learning to cook in a teen survival class in high school) and I made my famous Lemon Cake. Has anyone else made it? I'd love to hear your comments.
