Fair Warning

I'm going into hibernation for the next few weeks, I have about 22 back orders and as many days to get Christmas orders shipped. I will try to blog as much as I can, but will be slow on the email.

If you need to contact me about an order, please be patient! I will get to you, but it may be at midnight or 6 am

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! If I get a chance to make my Pilgrim Hat cookies today I will take some pics and post instructions for you. To be ready, you will need chocolate chips, marshmallows, Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies, and yellow decorator's icing. Go shopping and check back, your kids will thank you!

Getting Back on Track

Well, I'm getting back on track this week. On top of all the bad news, I've gotten a ton of orders all at once! I'm really getting into the groove and pumping out some frames for some really cool customers. I have some great colors for these orders, so I'll take a photo before I mail all of them.

Okay, the good news regarding my last post... My mom learned that the lump is "stage 0" and confined to the milk duct. After some research, we learned that the odds for recovery are very good, 97% good, in fact. She has scheduled a lumpectomy for May 9th, 5 days of radiation will follow (twice a day, ugh!). I think I'm feeling pretty optimistic for now.

The boy picked an orange cast and it's very short, only about 2 inches above his wrist. It's a "four weeker" as one of my friends puts it, and it will be off before baseball season is over. The baseball thing was pretty tough since he got on the Pirate"s team (every Pittsburgh boy wants to get on the Pirate"s team) and got the baseball commissioner for his coach. The dream season, down the drain. :(

I'm off to paint and catch up on laundry, so I'll check in tomorrow!
