sorry its been so long

i thought i was doing great with my weekly blogging but then i had to have major surgery. thursday will be 3 weeks that i had my back fusion. well things are going ok, it was rough at first i thought i was going to die. it turned out to be a 7 hr surgery, 2 rods, 4 screws and 2 cages to replace 2 ruptured disc's. I feel much better now, i cant already tell a difference. I dont have any leg pain anymore. All of my pain is due to recovery and thats ok with me.

Also i wanted to say thank you to all of my wonderful friends who have helped me through this trouble time. i got so many nice cards and a great book from my cafemom friends. also nana's place sent me flowers! i am so blessed to have great friends!

well today i made a paper diaper bag, i am working on a paper bag album to put in there to sell. it was lot of fun to make. i combined 2 ideas from great and talented ladies. i believe one is chic n scratch and leigh o'brien. i think they are over at SCS. the paper came from storytellers club, i love this paper! the pocket in the front i made to put a card in there. well i hope you all like!
