Good news!

Last week, I had a CAT scan and a Bone Scan. The CAT scan shown that the spots on my liver were Significantly Reduced!! Praise to GOD! So, we are doing something right in all this!

The Dr. gave me the rest of the month off from Chemo and I go back after the first of the year to re-evaluate the chemo plan and see how many more. I'm so happy to share this news with ya'll...the prayers are working!!! Thank YOU!!!

I'm still in a bit of a funk but it's starting to be better. I have a bit of a cold too and that has knocked me down, but I have the rest of the month to get rested and eating good!

Thank you all for your comments and well wishes and prayers, we will continue to fight this battle and I know now their is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Merry Chirstmas!

A delivery was made

By the Get Well Fairy! And be danged if I didn't get her picture...

She brought laughs, and goodies and cookies....AND she brought This:

This beautiful out pouring of hopes, prayers, and love from my blog friends and new blog friends. This wonderful window of tags, there are over 50 tags on this. Jan fixed up the window frame to hold them all and it covers it completely!

Thank you all who sent in, Thank you Jan for making this and doing all this for me! Thank You! The blog and altered art community is a wonderful place full of big hearts and outreaching hands! I'm glad to be a part of it!

Been feeling ok, proud to say, I didn't have a 'crash' day after the latest treatment, so maybe the eating better has helped. Feeling half normal does have it's up sides..lol..

Have a great Wednesday!

Happy Halloween

Another Wonderful book in the mail

Our 'other child' sent me this Wonderful book in the mail.

Tina and Scott lived across the street from us when in College Station. They became like our 'other' kids..in and out at all hours, borrowing something, eating with us, hanging out, motorcycle riding...We all had great fun. Tina made me this great little tag book with photos from things we had done at their and our house! She such a sweetie! Thank you!

This week I have another treatment. They are starting me on another med. so we'll see how that treats me come Thursday. My BFF Cee is coming to sit with me on Wed. as I take the treatment...Hope we can discuss some of our Paper Cowgirl ideas and get the June retreat going.

Looking forward to a Halloween Party at Ann-Denise's' house on Sat. We are just playing it by ear to see how I feel that day..

Hope God's blessed your day the way he's Blessed me today!

Hugs, t

Mail Gifties

One of my bestest art buddies/ex-neighbor, YT sent me this!!!

She's been making dominoes like crazy lately and picking my brain via e-mails on what and why to do's... I think she's doing quite nicely don't you??

Then My SLACKERs in my Soldered House Swap FINALLY got their act together:

After, I soldered ALL their houses..for various reasons they couldn't bring

themselves to finish~

These Slackers, whom I love, shall remain nameless..but if you were in the swap~ you know who they are...btw, the mail out for that was MARCH 31st...

Now my Soldered House banner is complete...I'm in search of a place to photograph it..so hang tight, it will appear one day here for you to see the finished project~

Have a great weekend!!!

Lator Gator~

Playing around..

This is my fren..Cindy, she's playing around with this kitty we saw in a store one day~

I'm playing around with glass right now..cutting it and getting ready for classes I have at the end of the week at the Crafty Scrapper. I have 2 basic classes and a bracelet class that is full..we will schedule another if need be..and wait till you see my Sweet and Sinister necklace class for September!! It's super cute..

The son, has moved away~ he's taken a new job in Andrews, TX..it's about 5 hours from here..I'm sure we'll be headed that way soon, with a trailer full of stuff and a motorcycle. But for now, it's kinda sad to see him go after just getting him back in March from the Army. Again, it's one of those things you go thru as parents..we are glad to see him get his life back on track and do something that will be a challenge to him. So, Good luck to Deke on his new life!! We will see you soon~


HOpe your Wednesday is going ok..
Later, teedubya~

A little Late~

But better late than never, right???!!!

The winner on the domino post is : Diane, another Texas gal!! Thanks for the comments ya'll it was great fun to see who wanted a chance at this little thing..

Thanks for Coming to see me here!

Class in Waxahachie went very well, those gals are soldering up a storm!! We did the round charms, where you float the solder across the backside. They did it like there was nuttin' to it..I was so proud of them!! yea!!! Thanks for coming to my class ya'll !

Since I was there soooo late in the day, I took advantage of it and spent the night with my good fren Cindy..The next day we went 'teeking' at a store in Mansfield..there were some super awesome booths there..and here are a few of my finds :

Don't you love the hair and the peter pan collars on the girls??? I smell a retro themed collage in the works...don't you???

And look at these old wooden Chess pieces!!!!!!!!Cee scoffed at me for picking them up, but....after I rattled off a few ideas that popped into my head, she decided she would 'buy' few from me..

And then we forgot to get some out for her when we got back to her house...lol...

I had to have those tins for some reason..and that brass cow tag, I've been wanting one, what better than Lucky Number Seven???

This was a surprise in the mail the other day:

My friend Linda in MI, found this cool box and knew I had to have it! She's such a sweetie, to think of me like that.. not only was it an very cool box, she filled it up too!

Is that not cool or what??? THANK YOU Linda for all the wonderful goodies!!! ThANK YOU Cee for the sleep over and the fun we had!!

See ya'll tomorrow!!

New Moos

My new Moo Cards arrived!!!

I can't believe I've given out a 100 of them already! Swaps, Etsy shop purchases, etc..I suppose I do more thru the mail than I first believed...shhhh don't tell hub..



This time I used some of my photos and made some cards too:

What do you think?? I think they are a bit pricey for just 16 of them...so they will be sent out to those who appricate them..lol..

This is my give away I was teasing you with on Monday..An altered domino. It has a magnet on the backside...so leave a comment on this post about my moo cards, and I'll draw on NEXT Thursday for a winner..

Happy Thursday to you ;)

Make a Wish

Here ya go...blow and make a wish, it's on me.

It's another overcast day here in the Prairie lands..maybe some more rain will come of it..it's chilly and depressing looking outside..so I'm just going to stay snug in the shop shack and clean house and play in the studio!

I have to tell you I'm obsessed with the Michelle Caplan work that is in Somerset Studios this month...and my friend in AZ, Becky is in this edition too!! Kudos to Becky!! Her foam core work got 4 pages!!! This is her first ever submission too!! You Rock Gal!!!!

Hope your day is what you make of it...

Cake Pop Night

While over at YT's, we were talking about blogs..she's NEVER heard of Bakerella!! I could not believe it.. So, she was taken in by the Cake Pops...so at 8 that night we ran to the store to get stuff to make them...

That was it for that night, we let the cake cool and picked up the next day with mixing and dipping...

A few boo-boos..and some of the Ugly ones just had to be eaten...

Ta-Da..we finished the cake pops and she bagged them up and took them off to her hubby's work! She reported that they all had a fit over them! I'm sure she'll be making more :)

Beaux was our helper when he thought he could sneak into the kitchen....

If you've not been to Bakerella's blog, go run over and check out her goodness..It will add pounds to your thighs by just reading..lol..

Have a great weekend!

Party with Friends!

Last week while in B/CS, I rounded up a couple of friends to have a little party..well, one of them was actually the hostest..for it was her house..I just brought the fun..



The gals had their own photos and such to use, but I had all the glass and solder goodies..Plus, Andreea brought us a pasta lunch! It was super Yummy..after we ate, we got busy..

Collages, glue, glitter, dog slobber (don't ask) and lots of talking and sharing ideas..

I did up this one and a few other for my Etsy shop:

YT put these together using her fur babies:

Andreea put these together and even made a couple of gifts:

We had way too much fun, being together, making things, soldering, and talking about anything and everything...The afternoon went by way to fast.. Thanks gals for the fun!!

Have a great Tuesday!

Cowboy up at the Flea

Since we were snapping photos of vendor stuff we HAD to stop here and take a few:

The fellow who had the spot, pulled out these boots for us..his "Good Ones". We set them up and kept on shooting!

Then we wandered back to the trailer and talked to him. He was called D.R. and he played and sang the good "oldies" of country..Willie, Waylon, and the boys..had a great voice too..Karen said if he'd play Patsy Cline she'd sing with him. So, he pulled out a guitar for her to join along, and started up...

We set there with D.R. for over an hour, it was great! We had fun, he had fun and we met a new friend...

K and I got our Cowboy fix. Hope you did too.

Happy Thursday!
