yep, back to being a bad blogger. certain friends of mine finally talked me into getting on facebook and that kept me busy until I absolutely had to start my CHA projects. now that those are done and I'm getting back on a regular schedule (unlike going to bed at 8:30 am because I spent the entire night scrapbooking) I am finally getting back to updatingmy blog. and so the update...the last part of december into early january was crazy. we had one family emergency type thing after another. mostly involving wyatt. two days before christmas he was bitten by a dog (family member's)- in the face. now he looks mostly back to normal. it looks like the punctures might end up scarring. but considering that one of them missed his eye by half an inch, I was extremely grateful on christmas that he was ok. after his doctor told me he was lucky and came very close to losing his eye, I spent a couple of weeks hovering and freaking out over every little fall and bump, which naturally there are a lot of. a week later, he suddenly had a rash. he saw the doctor less than an hour later and we were told it was chicken pox. this was the morning after our neighborhood party/ gift exchange/ all the kids playing for hours until late at night get together. (pneumonia showed up in two other houses right after too). so after telling all of our neighbors, wyatt (and I) were quarantined for about 3 days until I was finally convinced that it was not chicken pox. back to the doctor and it turned out to be a delayed reaction to the antibiotics (for the dog bites). and then when he went back to school, he had what I'll politely call an injury of a personal nature. it occurred while he was using the bathroom and involved a whole lot of bruising. at this point I'm thinking he should really be put in a bubble.
now for the goodies...I have to miss out on the actual show this time around, but getting to play with the new releases from melissa frances was lots of fun. the Fresh Twist line is one of my all time favorites. the colors are absolutely perfect for me. if you're going to CHA, be sure to go by the MF booth (booth #4077) and check out this line as well as some additions to the Thankful line and the new Attic Treasures line (plus some gorgeous new albums and embellishments). here's a few layouts using the Fresh Twist papers and stickers...
