Card #2 - Let It Snow at BTC&G and the scare of my life!

Happy Friday all!!! Whewwwww what an emotional roller coaster these past few days. I was whisked out of the office yesterday by ambulance... pain, shortness of breath, numbness, dizzyness, blurry vision...Scary!!!!! I thought I was having a heart attack but was actually suffering a Hypertensive Crisis. The paramedics caught me at a blood pressure of 190 over 130 and took me straight to the hospital. My blood pressure came back to normal within the hour or so and after extensive testing, all my vital organs remain intact. No stroke or blocked arteries... Thank goodness!!! I am to rest for a few weeks!! Ya right!!!!! I rested today, blogged all day hihi and will craft this weekend. Although still light headed and dizzy now and then, all should be fine by Monday. Right?

And sadly, while I was worried about little poor me, my boss lost his father last night! Not sure what to add here :( I know he knows how much I care and have his family close to my heart!!

So please let me lighten the air by sharing my second card for the By The Cute & Girly's *Let It Snow* December challenge. The image is from The Paper Shelter and it is so cute!!!!!!

Awwwww aren't these puppies adorable??? I want to jump in and cuddle too :)

Summer is still here + Top 5!!!!!!!

Hellooooo crafting buddies and friends :))) If the rain we have been having today was snow, I would have to take my snowmobile to work!!! Wowzers, raining cats and dogs is an understatement!! The same tomorrow... soft clothes (you know, the unsexy but so comfy type) and crafting would be awesome for this type of day!!

Ok so, I will go to work and I will work hard...but this weekend, unsexy clothes and crafting it is!!! My treat for being a good girl..and to think that all my dogs have to do is look pretty for a treat!!!

To keep the winter away as Mother Nature is, here is a dimensional card I made for my Sister-In-Law. I am really happy with the result, could of been more precise with my layered flower but practice makes perfect...or almost :)
