Slowly Coming Back to Life...

I wonder if I will ever stop coughing? I've always known that I am pathetic and weak when it comes to illness of any kind, this time was no exception. What a sad display of all-out woe-is-me'ness. I have little doubt that I caught the bug from the little ones who are all-in-one germ factory and transport. It could be that Fishy gave it to me, hacking and coughing for the last four weeks in the cube next to mine!

Sick as I was, Aubree was in town!!! After she taught her fancy schmancy Options classes, she spent the Friday with me! She said that she was not afraid of my plague, but if she goes down, I'm going to hear about it! We hit two Archivers and the Scrapbook Shop. We met up with Cheryl for dinner and wrapped up a fruitful scrappy shopping day. She also brought me the Calico goodies I had ordered, including Storybook stamps! YAY!

I also started up scrapping again, here is my take on the Scrappiest sketch 33. Pearl is on the DT and has been encouraging me to participate. This girl does love sketches, so it wasn't hard to try out the new Nook and Pantry line immediately. I do love and miss summer.
Also, let's not forget, I did a pictorial tutorial on creating a circle web with the new Martha Stewart web corner punch, check it out here. Here's a sneak peak of the project:
Finally, I am guest blogging for AdornIt this week!! YAY!!! Check it out on the AdornIt blog. Today is just the regular mugshot that I'm sure you are tired of seeing, but fun projects will follow tomorrow and beyond!

I was excited to know that you're a guest on the Adornit blog - can't wait to see your projects. I've been a "silent" fan for a long time. Hope you're feeling better.

I never get tired of seeing your mugshot or your beautiful creations! ADORABLE LO! What a great design... will have to check out that sketch. I'm beginning to think sketches are the way to go. I get so tired of sitting & staring at a blank page... :-)

Soooo sorry to hear you're still not feeling well. That really stinks. Did your scrappy outing help at all? :-)

BTW... you just HAD to go to, not one, but TWO Archivers? Sheesh girl... you are way worse than me. LOL! (Yeah right.) :-)

Get well SOON!
