Hip Pain

 So, about a month ago I started with hip pain on my right side. At first it didn’t hurt so much. But now it’s excruciating. The pain is so bad that it hurts to go to the bathroom. Yesterday I cried it was so bad. I had an X-ray done about 2 weeks ago. They said that they found no fracture or anything else. But it still hurts soo bad. I’m going to my first physical therapy session today. I doubt it will help but I’m going anyway. I have an apple with the orthopedist tomorrow. I’m hoping for a cortisone shot to make the pain go away. I got a cortisone shot for my knee years ago and I still don’t feel pain. I’m hoping I never do. I don’t want to have surgery.

 BTW, I fell down a few days ago. I scraped my knees, hands, and nose. My left hand bled and my nose got a huge scratch. It was bleeding pretty bad. I look like a monster now. The blog doesn’t let me add a picture. 

Small Haul & Sizzix Customer Service

I just finished uploading a new video.  I went to Scrapyland and bought the Zutter Disrezz-it-All and DreamKuts.  I am SOOOOOOOOO excited!!  I have been wanting these for a while.  The Distrezz-it-All is going to make distressing sooooo much faster and cleaner.  I can't wait use it.  The DreamKuts is going to come in handy for the cards I am going to make so I can sell.

The video also talks about Sizzix's customer service.  Although they are not able to replace or repair my Onesie die, they gave me another die free of charge.  I can still use the Onesie die without the preforation on the sleeve so it isn't that bad.

Anyways, hope you enjoy my ramblings :)

Kenny K Devastatia

I am FINALLY able to upload a vid with music that does not get tagged for copyright infringement!!  I made the card a while ago for a friend's birthday.  I recorded myself coloring the card because the card came out sooooooo stinking cute.  Once I tried to add music (so you wouldn't be bored) YT flagged it as a copyright.  I went online to a royalty free site (suggested by a scrappy friend) but I still got tagged.  I finally decided to try out Garage Band on my Mac.  I have never been able to play with that program and get something out of it but today was the exception!!  It is not a composition by Bach but it is quite relaxing.

Anyways, here is part 1 of the coloring.

I hope you guys enjoy :)

Hubby's Surprise Birthday Party!!

My hubby has turned 40!!! :(  The poor thing kept asking what I was going to do special for his birthday.  I kept telling him that I wasn't going to do anything since it was only my family and his 1 friend that was coming down from CT.  I told him that I was going to cut him a cake on Monday for his birthday and take him out to a nice restaurant as his present...Ruth Chris's or something like that.  He wasn't really happy with my suggestion.  He thought that since it was his 40th birthday, I should do something a little more elaborate.  Little did he know that I already had everything planned.

First thing I did was make the invitations.  My hubby LOVES to play poker so I decided on a poker theme.  That was easy enough until it came to the invitations.  I wasn't sure what to do until I remembered that I had the Tim Holtz Texture Fades Poker Face.  I got them out and immediately knew what to do.  Here is the video that I made explaining the process.

I think they came out adorable.  The one thing that I wish was the the embossing folders were bigger.  They are "card sized" but I wanted them to be more "invitation size".  Any who, they were cute.

I also went all out decorating the house for the occasion.  It REALLY came out BEAUTIFUL!!  Here are a few pictures.

We had a blast and he was TOTALLY surprised.  Thanks to everyone that came in and helped :)

Hope you enjoy.

Another Order!!

Yup, that's right!!  Someone ordered another card from me.  They needed a baby shower for one of their co-workers and remembered to give me a call.  I asked a couple of questions and this is what I cam up with.

I used the Build-A-Onesie Girl stamps from The Greeting Farm.  I LOVE TGF stamps!!  They are sooo adorable.  It was really fun to choose which design to put on the onesie.  Then I fussy cute them out and added pop dots.  I think it came it AdorABle!!

Hope you guys enjoy :)

And the Next Birthday is...

For the newest member to the 4th grade team. His actual birthday is the day after Christmas so I had to make it a little early. Luckily, we got called into a math meeting and I used it as an opportunity to sing him happy birthday with everyone around. Some members of the team weren't happy that they had to come down 3 flights for a fake meeting but once they saw the Krispy Kreme doughnuts, all was forgiven. (Krispy Kreme can calm even the wildest beast...LOL).

Anyways, our newest member LOVES coffee and so I thought it fitting to make a coffee inspired card. So, out comes Cafe Ian, first time a color him in. Then I needed to see about making the rest of the card. I didn't have a die for the coffee cup and didn't even think about using my Cricut. Instead, I just eyeballed the cup. I think it came out pretty darn cool. I even made a doily like the ones they put under a tea cup.

I think it came cute AND masculine. Hope you enjoy :)
