Wow, was I impressed. I went to see my granddaughters dorm room yesterday and we had lunch. Her room is so big and has so much storage. They have bunks and a futon and foot stool that makes into a table. The whole other side of the room is all desk, large closets and above the whole unit is storage and their tv is there. It's right across the hall from the showers and laundry room. They have a nice kitchen down the hall and a great lounge where they can hang out. Makes me think young again.

Todays card uses non Halloween colors so it is different. It's also a mix of a Lockhart stamp, a Waltzingmouse stamp, a DeNami stamp, flocked paper (?) and inside a rub on from Verses Instant Expressions. I got carried away! I think I will enter it into the challenge at

http://www.chouxchouxpaperart.com/2015/09/challenge-1.html. There is so much talent there.
Be kind to one another.

 I took the http://onlinecardclasses.com/watercolorEM/.  My favorite was the gelatos background. I have them and they are so easy. Todays's card is made with gelatos and a sticker from Stickabilities. It was a sale item with two sheets of stickers for 83 cents. Oh, I don't have a cents key on my keyboard anymore. I guess this is the first time I've noticed that. It's also the first time I've ever paid only cents for something! Be kind to one another.

My Friday gal is sick today so no one is coming. I cancelled my lunch with my neighbor and I'll be cleaning and hope to get a card made this afternoon. This card today uses Lawn Fawn stamps and a snippet of paper I used last year. I am going to pop over to http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/ and enter this card. Be kind to one another.

Greta has give me a link to http://www.chouxchouxpaperart.com/ to link up my card. Thank you, Greta.

Hubby is having issues with anger when he watches tv. He thinks those people are in his house and he is yelling and punching the tv. The Neurologist said to up his dosage of hallucination meds and see if that will help. Yesterday I did not turn on the tv at all. He sat on the couch with his snack and didn't mention it at all. He did tell the barber in the mirror that they had packed up and left. I say "barber" because that's who he thinks the man in the mirror is, the man who cuts his hair.

My girlfriend, Marilyn, came down last Monday. Normally we would go to lunch and a movie. I was waiting for the Go Docs to call me back so we just went to lunch at O'Charleys. After the lunch rush we had no need to rush and sat and talked for a long time. We hadn't been together for a long time, so it was nice to just visit. She brought me lovely flowers when she came in. She is so thoughtful and caring. Here are the flowers and here is the thank you card I sent her. That is My Minds Eye paper called Fancy That. It is just beautiful paper. Be kind to one another.

We didn't wake up until 8 am this morning. It was so dark and rainy that Molly didn't know it was so late. She is my alarm clock and gets up as soon as it is light.  Not my preference!

We are now a member of Go Docs Go. They called at 4 pm Thurs. and said they would be there between 10 and 1. I said okay - when. She said tomorrow. Oh. They said they were coming for an evaluation to see if he was eligible. Two ladies came, one dr. and one assistant. She asked questions and typed in her tablet. Then the asst. took his blood pressure, listened to his heart. The other one cleaned out his ears and cut his toenails. Weighed him with their scales and said they would be back next month! Okay then. They will replace all his drs. unless I want him to still go to them. They will refill his meds, give flu shot, take blood and can do an ultra sound, xrays and EKG here at home. They will do wound care and post op care here also. So I am happy we are finally able to get some help for him here. He let them do whatever they wanted and was so good about it. The only drawback is that they call the day before and say they will be here the next day. They will also cancel if an emergency comes up.  That's okay if it is just a wellness visit. He did fall out of bed Thurs. night. It took a half hour to get him up again. I don't do it, he has to. It just takes a while for him to figure out what to do. Doesn't seem to get hurt so all is good.

This is the card I made for our son's birthday next month. This is the first time ever I am so far ahead! I used an embossing folder, viva gold in blue and lavender and of course, a crazy bird. I typed in the sentiment and used a Lawn Fawn bubble die. The inside says Go On and Celebrate from Mama Elephant. Be kind to one another.

I wanted to enter one more card into Darnell's NBUS today. This card is for my youngest granddaughter's birthday next month. I took the stamp out of it's packaging and stored it in a cd case because it is unmounted red rubber and I've had it a long time. I got it when my granddaughter was little, thinking I would make her a card with it when she got older. She will be 14 so I guess it's time! She is into bling so that's why all the jewels. See, that's what NBUS does. It makes you haul out things you've never used and give them love.  The pink and white paper is a snippet left over from Valentines Day cards so I am going over to Pixies Playground at http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/ this week. Be kind to one another.
