UPDATED MY LIST BELOW ON PREVIOUS POST @ 5:45 pm 12/05/06 !!

Thanks everyone !!

Well its time  to get some Birthday cards made and I pulled out my old faithful Froggie set late last night  and made  these 2 cards .. Of course these will be for  birthday girls . I used pixie pink and pink passion CS  with black ink and colored in the  froggies  with pixie pink  marker  and  then used my  white gel pen for the eyes and  dots around the base  of card.. I then took my dauber  of pixie pink and highlighted the HOPPY BIRTHDAY part  .. I  think the reason I love making this card is that it is sooo easy , Fast and  sooo stinkin cute ..IMHO  especially in the pink version HUH? I also made some for Birthday boys ..  Yes Ben ( you know the "FAMOUS BEN ") Jessies  guy she likes .. well His birthday is also this month  (Dec 16th actually ) Jessie thinks its the coolest that they have their  birthday in the same month  anyway Ben gave me his Favorite  colors ( Green and Blue ) I instanly thought of the  froogies, I will have more time today to make  some more birthday cards  and Bens is on the top of the lists of ones to make  Today .. will be just like the card above But in green galore and brillant blue

Speaking of Birthdays my birthday  is 1 month away today I will be turning the  OH NO ~BIG 40  (chuckle  chuckle ).. Really its just a number  to me no big thing , just hard to believe I will be 40  just saying  FORTY makes me feel smarter and I am 20 some years from being as wise as my mom

As I posted last night yesterday was such a HUGE blessing we went on hospital visitation again for the 2nd time ..  as usual we seen the Lords hand at work in everything .. we ended up seeing 7  beautiful friends from church  when we only intended to vist 3  its such a blessing  to see how God works and whats even more awesome is we can see HIM working everyday if we will be still long enough to   "Really" look .. so many things happened  I really dont want to bore you all with the  fine details BUT I really need to record this down on my blog for my  personal journal  today on what happened yesterday .. so if you want you can skip over the next  section thats highlighted in BOLD

Went and seen on the list 1st was  J.T ( he had a knee replacement on Friday ) .. While visiting with JT , Mary  Ruth  was walking in the hall and walked right past us in JT’s room  ( she just had  her leg  fixed~  But get this   her  leg was cut  from the bottom of her knee all the way up  past her hip on  left side ) we ran out to give her a hug   she was doing her PT  for rehab  so we let her go  back to work and  went back to JT. What a sweet man  JT is . we all cried laughed , shared   and  then  we all prayed ..  after JT we jotted down to Mary Ruth  to prayer with her   and chat  a minute, then it was off to the 3rd floor  to see Betty  she was in  for  some  infection in her leg and  funny thing is we didnt even  know it was her laying in the bed   we looked at her and she was sleeping  me and mom peeked in on the other bed to see if she was  there  then all of a sudden Betty yelled out I am over here Me and my mom both jumped  and we looked at betty and  we were both amazed  how different she looked  wearing a wig .Hee! Hee!  you know hospital hair isnt the best I suppose  I would have just thrown on one of my hats  BUT good  ole Betty put on a wig ..  after our vist  with Betty we prayed for her  and headed  down to lobby  where who did we see  Farley .. he was there for tests  with his cancer he just  recently found  out he has .. What a trooper Farley is  we huged him  and prayed right there in the hall way ( Never thought I could pray  in the middle of the hallway like that with folks walking past us they all probably thought we were a little werid .. BUT then again I did have my  purple hat on 🙂  Then it was on to the next Hospital  to vist with Steves mom  who has some kind of stomach problem she was going to be released   probably  today .. BUT before we   even stepped foot in to  the  lobby of  North oakland  we seen a gift shop  mom and me thought the same thing we wanted to buy Ada ( Steves mom ) a little something .. we ended up buying her a Ty stuffed  bear OH my thing bear was sooo cute   and oh soooo soft and  pink  I  suppose it was made for baby cause thats what It said on the  tag ..  when we made it to see Ada  we gave her the bear and You know  it was a God thing  when  we seen her face  light up  she hugged  that bear and kissed it like it was a baby .. she then said  Quote "YOU girls sure know how to make a old woman happy " .. It was sooo beautiful   we waited  for Steve and Racheal to get back  from where ever they went  But no  see 🙁  so we  prayed with Ada and  we went on our  way. We were walking  down all those  hall ways working our way back to the elevator  and  right before  we  were going to turn  down the hallway to get  to the elevators I said to my mom I wish we could have seen Steve and Racheal  and let me tell you before I even had said ~ Racheal ~ Steve  and Racheal  turned from the corner  I let out a scream it scared me  that no sooner I said it  There they  appeared  right in front of us.  I sreamed  so loud and quick   that Steve  even jumped    we ended up praying right there in the hallway (Hallways were becoming  a  very popular place for us yesterday  )  for them  and Steves mom ..  Me and mom giggled all the way down  to the lobby people thought we were  really looney  but we were just praising God  for all he had did .. Then it was off to have  Lunch  with  Dave and his wife Kathy ( Dave just had a heartattack this past week and his wife  Kathy is  recoverying from foot surgery  so what could be  better  than having lunch with them .. I called Dave and Kathy before  we left   the hospital parking lot  and  wanted to see if it was ok if we   came over and brought lunch  Dave said yes  so the next BIG question is what would you like us to bring you ?  after some thought Kathy and Dave both said how about a  Chicken BLT salad from Wendys  OK great thats what it will be then..  We ended our  vistiation  day at Dave and Kathys home  since I had to go get Jessie  at school  it all seemed to come  way to fast .. What a Great day   with 3 friends on the list to vist we got a bonus with 4 extras

Jessie gets her braces off today  at 9:00am  so 2 exciting things happen then ..  she gets to be late to school  and gets  braces off  what more could a young girl  ask for Hee! Hee! I will hopefully be in the  room when they  start removing them  and  so I can snap some photos of her .. of  course my  daughter just rolls her eyes when I tell her I want to be in there to take pictures .Hee! Hee! She knows how her mom is  .. she said One thing she has missed eating is Apples and corn on the  cob  We tried other methods so she would be able to eat thse  things BUT nothing beats eating things the old fashion way  KWIM?

We finally  got some snow .. NOT that I was looking forward to it By NO means   but  light and fluffy is ok  It is very pretty ..

Thanks for peeking in today  and I will see you all tommorrow

Until later … Happy Stampin!!
