Tonsils and appendectomy; 1 foot and 1 knee surgery; hysterectomy; 2 dental surgeries; rotator cuff repair; 2 cataracts; and then the big ones: 5 back surgeries (2 in one day when the screws & rods didn't line up correctly). The last back surgery was a success - 15 years ago. Total: 15

Thanks... It was a delight to work with this fantastic kit.

Thanks so much.

Morning, gals. Yesterday was like a replay of Saturday.... started feeling cold again just before noon so grabbed the fleece throw and snuggled under it most of the afternoon. At least I was wearing capri pants... not shorts... so didn't have to put a housecoat on, too. Turned the ceiling...

White space is a challenge for me... I feel like it is 'naked' with all that unused space crying out for something. And LO with lots of journaling is another challenge. I love LOs with lots of elements like borders and/or clusters along with brushes, paints and textures and photo/s. And I...

Woke up to a nice cool and cloudy morning. Still have rain puddles on the patio and the ground was wet looking. So nice to be getting the monsoon finally. We also had another rain late yesterday afternoon into the evening!! Chris, we get most of our rains in June - September but have been in...

OScraps Birthday Bash - Day 7 June 17 - Fancy Title Challenge https://oscraps.com/community/threads/day-7-june-17-fancy-title-challenge.35603/

I am up early again today. Guess my internal alarm clock is set to wake me by 6 AM now. I like that it is cool enough to open the house up and let the breeze blow through it for an hour or so. I ended up having to run a few errands yesterday... books due at the library, check to deposit at...

What a wonderful photo of you with the children on that special day. Love the Red, White and Blue flag background. We were a scouting family, too and marched in many a parade with our girl scouts and cub scouts. Thanks for sharing this special moment and joining the challenge.

I love this colorful page...with all the elements and brushes. What a treasure that photo of your mom with her parents is. Thanks for adding the approximate date to the page. So glad you shared this with us.

Fabulous photo of a wonderful place. The title says it all! I like the background paper and the overlays. Thanks for joining the challenge and sharing this page with us.

Long, hot day... but it was well worth the time, heat, expense!!! The lawn clean-up crew was busy from the time they arrived until they left - just a few minutes ago. The good thing was it only reached 90*F while they were here (will still climb a few more degrees before sunset) and marvelous...

Morning, gals. Up and dressed early as the yard clean-up crew will be here soon. Had a wonderful lunch with the gals yesterday. Started at 11:30 AM and went on until 3:30PM! We had a lot to talk about. :D One of the gals helped me move the dining room table back where it belongs...

I will bring Tamales.
