wish it was a fun day .....
Up and singing this morning at least. Blah though on Mondays, we should remove them from the week. hehe
Today's schedule is work, a nail appointment (my one girlie girl thing I get to do for myself), hopefully a stop at Curves (I just joined a couple of weeks ago so I haven't decided I like exercising yet... it's more like a chore... but I'm trying!), cook some dinner for the boys and then out the door for a hockey practice at 8:10 p.m. I'll try to squeeze in some Photoshop time in between somewhere to keep me sane.
Very sad news at work last week. One of the two partners I work for was diagnosed with kidney cancer. He got sick on a business trip they were on the week before in Germany. Went to 2 doctors over there and they told him to get home right away without really telling him what they suspected. He was so bad off that he went straight to the hospital from the airport. He has cancer in one kidney and some spots on his lungs. He had an appointment on Friday for diagnosis/treatment/prognosis. He goes today for a 2nd opinion. Please keep him in your prayers, his name is Sig.
This Thursday will be my Box of Dreams Crop. We have a lot of fun at the crops and then there is a series of challenges for the month which earn you pieces of a fun kit. Raylene from my Dream Team created a beautiful Brown Paper Christmas kit for this month's challenges. We are going to be focusing on holiday cards and there will be some great templates available! Don't miss out. Thursday night, 9:00 p.m. EST .... hope I'll see you there!
Peggy's Rose: This was a custom kit created for a lady that won a contest I ran. She wanted something for her Dad who loved the lavendar rose. This was a labor of love because it also reminds me very much of my own grandmother who loves roses. Her favorite color is pink and the main rose in this kit (a photo from my own garden) will also be featured in a wedding kit that I'm working on for her. Since purple is my favorite color, I really love this kit for me too! :)
Butterfly Dance: This also reminds me of my grandmother. I can't tell you why, this was one of those kits that just sort of happened. I love the colors of this Lil' Bud kit and would love to make an add-on or a full size kit with these colors at some point.
Someone asked about a preview of this week's goodies. I'm working on one, but have a couple more goodies I want to add before doing the preview. I will be putting the kit together in the store when my guest spot is up for anyone who misses pieces of it.
Here is today's edition:

Thanks for sharing this weeks cute mini kit.
Praying for Sig. Thank you for another wonderful day.
As a kidney cancer suvivor, I strongly recommend that Sig locate an oncologist who specializes in kidney cancer. He should immediately contact the Kidney Cancer Association (website at http://www.kidneycancerassociation.org). They offer a kidney cancer specialist referral service (I believe there is an 800 number to call) based on where he is located.
I also highly recommend that he join the Kidney-Onc email list -- go to http://cancerguide.org/kofaq -- for more information on hospitals, doctors and treatments. List members are kidney cancer patients, caregivers, medical professionals, advocates -- all there to discuss the many treatments and aspects of dealing with RCC in a supportive environment.
Wishing him strength and courage in his journey.
