Wow - I'm a little behind...
.... in blogging. I guess about what - 5 months? Geez, Louise! Sorry about that. Not that anyone reads this anyway *grin*.
So much has happened since July. I quit most of my CTs - mostly because I wasn't able to keep up anymore because I'M PREGNANT! Woohoo! Not that this is old news - I am 19 weeks pregnant and will find out the gender on Thursday. Too exciting!
The pregnancy has been really draining for me. I had morning sickness from week 5 and still found myself gagging over the sink this morning. November was terrible for our family. We were all so sick. Carl was in the ER twice for severe allergic reactions and they found pneumonia. I was also terribly sick at the time and they concluded I had pneumonia, too. Then Colin got an ear infection which progressed into infected cervical lymph nodes. He had a 103 degree fever for a week before they could figure out what was wrong. Then Alex got a double ear infection which didn't clear up after the first 5 days of his antibiotic so they switched him to another one.
Meanwhile, I got some severe bacterial infection of my throat right around Thanksgiving. It really wiped me out and screwed up my blood count. They did a mono screen and I don't have mono, but man am I wiped out. I am still reeling from being so sick and I think I might be getting another sore throat. It is exhausting. It's all I can do to take care of the kids without falling asleep on my feet!
I have been able to get some work done for Kristy Valshan. They have got some great stuff out:
All of these use Yuletide, a great Christmas kit.
This uses William.
This uses The Traveler.
And this uses Autumn Beauty.
I just had to share some pictures I took of my sweet neighbor Mia the other day. Her mom will be using these for her ballerina birthday invitations:
And this is our Christmas card this year:
For the "glow in the dark" glitter, I used Ztampf's Lumoz Whimzy Page Overlays. Don't they look fantastic?
OK, I'm gonna run now. Colin is due to bust in the door any moment! I will try really hard to keep more up to date!
