I bet you all are already getting tired of hearing my aches and pains .. so I wanted to start off with this simple no layer easy peasy card I made a few days before I went in for surgery .. I got my All in a Row set from SU! a few days before surgery and had to make something with it, along with my cuttle bug envelope template ( name escapes me right now but it has 4 2×2 templates and the girlie girl was one of them ) I just love the "girlie girl" since I say that so much .. anywho ..I cut all the rows separately and mounted them all on the blocks ( see photo below ) when you 1st see this set you will notice all you get in the set is 4 long blocks and 4 stamps well I cut each of the 4 stamps into 8 individual stamps and for each block I have 2 stamps and 2 stickers .. the way I did mine was the image sticker is on one side and the stamp is on the other and I lined them all up
so I could get 2 images on one block This probably is not making any sense at all so Here is the photo of what I did so I can get more use out of my set ALL IN A ROW .
Therapy went great yesterday NO tears shed like there were on the 1st visit with my other knee .. I was able to even lift my leg up on to the high top with out any help .. Gee whiz I impressed myself when I did that Hee! Hee! My leg is still so very swollen and sitting at the computer is like putting alot of pressure on my whole leg so this is why I am unable to be at my computer for very long or sit for that matter I need to keep it up and iced for as much as possible .. I just want you all to know I am reading all your emails and posts But for the sake of my leg not feeling like it is going to pop I am not able to respond to each email or post at this time .. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement , cards posts You all brighten my day knowing your still visiting even though I am not very interactive lately .. Please don’t give up on me.. I love all of you and I soo appreciate all your Prayers ..
Until later … Happy Stampin!!












Hope your PT went well. I have had several knee surgeries myself and know what you are going through. Take it easy and don’t push yourself. Thinking good thoughts for you:)
love the card, thanks soo much!
Did I tell you I borrowed one of those exercise balls from a friend to put my legs on while I was at the computer? It helped some but then my backside would hurt if I did that for too long.
Hope you’re not having too much pain!!
Miss ya!!
I love this tip. I have not mounted these stamps yet. I hope you are having a great day. I had knee surgery too. It was the worst pain I have had since childbirth (4 times). I think it was worse. Take care of yourself.

Too funny, that set has been on my “wish” list ever since the catalog came out, but with all those mini catalogs it got pushed off to the side.
Sad, sad puppy update, we are now down to 5 puppies out of 10 that were born. We lost one black male yesterday and last night I lost the runt, also a black male. I tried to bottle feed him after they had been at the vets to get their dewclaws removed and held him wrapped in a blanket to keep his body temp up, but at 1:30 he was crying on my shoulder like he wanted to be fed, but when I made him his bottle he froze up. I gave him mouth to mouth and cpr to revive him. Tried to get him to latch onto his mamma, but he was too weak and she didn’t want him anymore. So I wrapped him up again and tried to give him the bottle, then he froze up a 2nd time and I was able to revive him again with mouth to mouth and cpr. So I took him in the front room to try and feed him again, the he froze up a 3rd time and the mouth to mouth cpr didn’t work. I knew he was gone for good when his itty bitty tongue turned white from pink. This is sooooooooo hard, I don’t think I’ll be able to do it again. Please pray for the last 5 pups to survive. Alayna cried her eyes out for a good 1/2 hour before school today. She just loved the little guy, nicknamed Bullet, jr, after the father.
Dawn, just wanted you to know you’re in my thoughts and prayers. I love your work and your blog and that you glorify the Lord in all you do! If you can PM your address I’d love to send you a card! 😉

HI Sweetie, very adorable card!!! I did the same with my stamps too!! But, can you help me with how you did the embossing on the CS? They are 2×2, but isn’t the fold below the wording? Keep up the great work and take it easy on the knee, but get well better.
Much Hugs n’ Aloha,
