Happy Monday!
Only five more days and I'm off to the Beauty Bash! Yippee! I can't wait and I am getting more and more excited every day!! I hope we have a wonderful weekend and meet lots of great ladies!!
Its' still a lousy rainy day here and we didn't have a great weekend, but that was good for me, because I did manage to get most of my outfits all washed and ironed and ready to pack and i did pack all the things that I can now.
I also finished my page for this week and will post it later. Other than that, it was an average weekend..chores, laundry and crafting, but it was nice and I did get a lot done.
Here are some of my most recent creations --

Thursday and Patty's 50th Birthday!!
Thursday already~!
...another week is lying by! Today is Patty's 50th Birthday and we'll be going over tonight for cake and ice cream, which will be nice. I talked to her this morning and she was off to get groceries...just another day! She did go out to lunch yesterday with the girls she worked with and our Beauty Bash trip is her big event too. She told everyone she wanted money for our trip and that's how I was able to save up and go too. When I turned 50 (argh!!), in August, I put all my money towards the trip and now it's all paid and I even have spending money all set! Yippee!
I am still playing around with my BLOG with new backgrounds and ideas and this is my look for today. I think it's very pretty and I think I'll stick with with for now!
I also finished up my Page for this week and although it is PURPLE and my favorite color it is NOT my favorite page...which is kind of a bummer!!
Here it is --
And a little bit different view...
I just don't like how "light" it appears...more Lilac then purple, but it's done and now I can concentrate on this weeks challenge!
Today I'm lazy and tired from not sleeping well, so I'm not sure how much I'll actually get done on anything. I really need to start preparing for my trip, but can't seem to get a day where I totally free great! Hopefully I can get a lot accomplished on the weekend and then next work finish up after all my appointments. I have a lot of do before we leave, but I know that somehow, it will get done!

New Blog Design - Thanks Pam!!
Pam from the Scrap Monkey Group found a great site that that has a ton of FREE BLOG Backgrounds. The website is called - "The Cutest Blog on the Block" and it some really cute ideas and things you can add to your Blog for Free! I had been wondering how people have such awesome blogs with really neat and different backgrounds and know I know one of the answers. I'm thrilled that she told us about it and I'm sure I'll use it often
I've spent part of my morning, playing around and changing my background and a few elements here on my Blog and I LOVE all the NEW things I can add!
It's fun and I really like the "Crafty" theme I have picked out. I'm sure I'll still need to play around with it more and add more elements, but I am happy with this for a start!
THANKS PAM! This was a great find and I'm thrilled you posted about it!!

Monday is here again!!
SPRING started on Friday.....not here it seems!!
So much for a nice start anyway? We woke up to below freezing temps and it's also very windy outside. I had to get the car running for a good 15 minutes before I brought Alex to school and it still felt cold. Today is just NOT a good day....I slept horrible last night and simply do NOT feel that great. I think it's the Antibiotics that my doctor has me on. I had a Epidermal Cyst removed on Friday and it was more than we both had thought...it's was NOT a pleasant procedure and I never expected to come out with 15 sutures and feeling very faint. I basically haven't felt right since then...ARGH! Luckily, I did finish my Project page on Saturday and haven't done much since. That was actually one the better days, now the incision is fine, but I really very nauseous from the meds and never do well with any Antibiotics for too long. I did call today and hopefully can stop them so my stomach will feel better! Tomorrow, I want to get back up in my craft room and get a bit ahead. I'll be heading to the Beauty Bash next week and that will be a busy week, of appointments, packing and getting ready...I can't wait!]
And some of the cards I made last week too!

Hoping for lots of Blue Sky days...full of sunshine and nice warm temperatures!! Yippee!!

A Little About Me
- ThePurplePlace
- 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".
