Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday thus far. I am back and doing well. I ended up having 3 surgeries and a 7 day stay in the hospital and the recovery has been rough. But with all my time off I was able to make my Christmas Cards. They did go out late but they went out and that's what counts, right?

I wanted to include our family photo but I also wanted to have room for the cutesy stuff on the card. I think the card style is the Z-Fold.  I put the photo on the inside and decorated the outside. Each card I made a little different so I will post a few of  them all.  Hope you enjoy I know I had fun making them.

This thing we call life...

I am so overwhelmed with things to do it's making me crazy. I really needed to blog but I haven't had the time to get the pictures, upload them and blog about them. So I'm just going to have to wait. Hopefully I will be back to creating and blogging in a few weeks as for tomorrow I go in for a series of 2 back surgeries. The first is tomorrow and the second is on Thursday. Fingers crossed everything goes well!!  I have a month or so off work so hopefully I'm up to scrapping soon.
