On the road to recovery....!!!

     Today, I am finally starting to feel better and I can't tell you just how wonderful it is, to be on the mend.    I slept pretty good last night and when I woke up I was not in that same awful pain, I had been in all week.  I could actually move around and now want to scream....!  WOW!  What a relief, it is to have the pain lever now back down.  I can manage the level today and it feels soooooo good to be improving!!   Thank God!!     I'm not pain free....but that's okay as long as it's an improvement - I am HAPPY!  Very very Happy!! 

     Special thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and leave well wishes.   I also want to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes via email, in my craft groups and on Facebook too!   I was blown away with all the comments and notes I had!    My friends ROCK!!!

     I'm still not back to crafting, but hoping maybe tomorrow I can slowly try to make something.  Now that I am feeling better I miss it.  I'm also much more hopeful now about making it to the Memory Box class at my LSS on Sunday.  I thought for sure I was going to have to miss it, but if things keep going this well, I feel confident, I can go, even if on to pick up the kit and do a bit of shopping, especialy now that I have extra money from my Birthday!!

    Oh and for anyone who loves Jennifer McGuire and her classes, like me -- the next online class is now OPEN and you can register for her 'Inspiration Showcase' class by linking HERE!!   This is her brand new 'online' version of an awesome technique workshop that I took when Jennifer came to my LSS in April.  I'm very excited to take it again and this time, I'm going to use all new colors and stamps for my canvas.  

     This is a picture of my canvas from the April Class and it is so much fun to make.  Even if you do not make a canvas, you can use all the techniques for your cards or scrap pages!  I can't wait to take it again and this will be a wonderful refresher!  YIPPEE!!

  
   This workshops starts on September 12th and runs for two full weeks.  You can find ALL the details and the sign-up information HERE!   I'm already signed up and will be picking up a few new goodies for the class this weekend!    Yippee!

That is good news, there is nothing worse than pain...it's so lonely, you get sympathy, but no one can feel it like you do. Glad you are on the mend.

Luv CHRISSYxx

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
