Through following Candace Jedrowicz's awesome works, I found the "31 Days of Halloween" challenge at Smeared and Smudged website. I am planning on being a Horrifying Hopper and Sinister Lurker this year. I so wanted to be a Wicked Blogger, but to have a Halloween/Day of the Dead project posted every day of October is fading out of my ability due to health issues. So as to not overload my plate and add to the stress levels right now, I am going to start preparing for next year. But by being a Hopper I will see so many awesome projects that it will be a great learning experience, plus on this site you are required to use a stamp somewhere on the project and I have to build my stamp collection (especially gothic, fairies, etc.). I am somewhat disappointed but life is what it is and I have received so many blessings this year I cannot complain at all!!
Just a quick explanation on the health issue. I went to the gastroenterology doctor today and I have a hernia (sounds like I should be a retiree in Florida wearing burmuda shorts:( ) that will require surgery....double ugh!! And of course that lovely word "colonoscopy" shudder! But I am blessed to be able to have medical coverage that allows me to have these problems seen to and as a diagnostic test a colonoscopy is excellent in alerting you to impending problems that can take your life if left untreated so I will stop complaining or try and be thankful.
Next point.....I failed at my own challenge to post a tutorial today. WAWAWAAA! We were at the Heart Hospital with Mom for a heart test so she can resume her needed after surgery chemo at 8 and I came home and went back to Covington at 10 with my daughter for my doctor's appointment. And of course a much needed 3rd stop at the book store in 6 days (hehehe) that we thoroughly enjoyed and once again I found many treasures, more than I could buy but still I found them! So not to belabor the point, we got home at 4ish and with feeding Yosh and giving him his meds and a hurting tummy....I missed my own goal for today. But that's not going to stop me there is always tomorrow! And I enjoyed being with my folks and my daughter time so no worries here!
But be forewarned, the tutorial is coming. It is a fear I have and I must tackle it and conquer it! This weekend maybe? We shall see.
Speaking of my little heart, Yoshi, I gotta post a pic of him. He is doing much better, not a hundred percent yet but gaining some weight and back to his little mischievious ways again, God bless his little heart!
Time to try and go back to sleep....so i will be real quiet so you keep sleeping and see you tomorrow..shhhh
