Hello my friends!

Hello everyone, are you having a good day?? I hope so. I have been very busy lately, just after I took my few days off, my husband broke his toe, he thought he would be fine, but it wasn't the case, day after that he went to the doctor and it wasa confirmation of a broken toe in 3 parts, like a butterfly , auchhh!!! he has been home since then (tomorrow 2 weeks) and he is back to work tomorrow morning. His toe still not good, I touched it yesterday and I could feel the broken part, not a good feeling.
Then after that I had a Birthday party for DD and DH, everything was great!! We had few people coming over and celebrating the brithdays with us. DD had a lot of fun and ended up so exhausted she feel asleep on the couch, it was kind of cute to see her there, of course I took a picture, great for a scrapbook page, hmmm I don't scrapbook, LOL.

I have created few cards that I haven't taken pictures yet, why??? because my right hand has been inflamated, well not my whole hand, just my middle finger, the pain was really intense. I cut a couple of images and afterthat I started having the pain, I am a right hand person, so it has been really difficult to do my stuff around the house and also create!!

I will be back with some projects to show. I hope you come back.

Have a great day!!

Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been busy and busier with house stuff, in addittion of that we are dealing with a mice situation, I am getting sick because of that, you may know I have asthma and any time I see one of those critters my asthma gets really bad, may sound funny but I am feeling sick right now.

Tomorrow is DD 5th birthday and today she starts her swimming lessons, she is really excited about that. She is till coughing but nothing too bad. DH's birthday is this Saturday so I have planned at Birthday Party this Saturday to celebrate both birthdays.

I hope you can come back in few days.
