Howdy everyone .. Today is back to PT again after having 4 days off. Every day seems to be getting better especially with my walking Praise God! almost all my paper stitches are off I think I am down to 3 left and those are below my knee cap really scabby around that area so it maybe a little while longer before those fall off .. I am able to petal all the way around on the bike at PT now and Todd has me doing leg presses so it sure does seem like I am moving alot quicker to each exercise than the last time around .. Going back to church on Sunday was sooo awesome But it did seem to drain me that evening and leg was a little puffy so I may have over did it just a tad on Sunday But like I said every day it is getting better and better… sleeping is so much better now and so is waking up in the morning YIPPIE!! for those of you that have been with me from pretty much the beginning of my blog journey you know that I was waking up at least 2 hrs earlier than Jess everyday so I could get my legs/knees moving and not be in so much pain so I could actually function to take her to school every morning .. Now I can say I feel so Great when I get up in the morning .. I am sooo excited to get even better and start going to the gym and get back to my walking outside .. will still be a wee bit longer But I am sooo excited .. and to be able to walk through the airport to pick up my Hubby in August for his visit home from Iraq without any pain and NO limping OH what a Day that will be to see him and him see me .. 72 days to go .. But hey who’s counting Wink wink …
Ok for my card today I used the wild about you stamp set along with old olive , more mustard and really rust and the cuttlebug dots & spots for the background with of course my trusty white gel pen, and Old olive SU marker for the doodles around the center image . I used the coluzzle for the really rust half circle cut out and I added Mustard GG ribbon just to add a little something extra to the card .. BUT brace your self ~ Cause can you believe NO glitter is on this card .. Yup Hard to believe HUH? But you know I can always go back and add glitter at least the the circles on the body of the giraffe.
Have a Fabulous day girls and thanks for peeking in … I will see you all tomorrow
Until later … Happy Stampin!!

Dawn,
I love, love, love the card. If you do not mind I might have case it this afternoon. I am so glad you are getting better, you have been in my prayers.
The colors you used are so rich – really pretty card! I’m so glad your knee is better – thanks be to God for giving surgeons wisdom to do this kind of surgery! I know your husband will be so glad to see you & especially to see you walking so well. Have a blessed day!
Hi Dawn,
I really like this card.The stamp is adorable and becuase of you I will have to breakdown and buy it. 🙂 The clolors that you used they are great! I never would have thought to put them together. I always learn something from you when I come to your blog.
I am very happy to hear that your knee is healing faster then you expected. No fun having pain. I’m keeping you and your husband in my prayers.

Gotta love that mustard color, eh?
We just finished our last class of cathecism on May 22nd. I can’t tell you what a relief that is to have accomplished 1st Holy Communion for the first time let alone having Alayna make hers as well.
