A Valentine's Day Card!

Well can you believe it?  I actually made another card, yeah:))  This one is for Valentine's Day!  I have a couple more ideas in my head, so I hope I will be able to get to them this week.  But for now I am grateful to have been able to do this one. It's prettier in person. I am sorry I didn't  take a very good picture.

I am going to enter the card in these challenges:

Cards!! Wow who knew!

I am posting a card I made this week. It has been so long I think I may have forgotten how to do this:)))  I may put it in a challenge, but maybe not.  I just feel great about actually being able to make something again and getting it posted.

Thank you all who still came and payed me a visit, I so appreciate all of you. I have recovered from having to get the pacemaker for the most part, but it all kinda kicked me hard.  You guys have all been so helpful in my recovery by always being there.

So here is the card for today. I really love the papers and colors, I have had them for a long time and never used them before.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like this card, it represents how I feel!  God always has a different view than the one we have, in the circumstances we might find ourselves in. We just need to look for it! ( I'm still here and I just made a new card:))))

Hugs to all of you, Pam

Priest Lake at Christmas!

I am posting a few pictures tonight so I am not making you all wait forever. I will put up even more later.

The beautiful dog in the pictures is our boy Dallas. He is the most loving and sweet dog I have ever been around. He loves the snow! He had as good a time as we did.  This was a peaceful time for Ray and me. I really needed the down time.  We had our Christmas with the kids on Friday, which was wonderful. Then we went to Priest Lake early the next morning. It was a beautiful time.

Can you believe 2012 is here!!

Wow, this last year has been so full.  I have met some of the most wonderful people in blog land there is out there. My blog friends have been with me from learning to blog, making cards and posting them. You have been with me through some trying days with my back. Recently you have been the best, as I have recovered from a heart problem, and getting a pacemaker. That one almost got me! but I made it!!

Best blessings this year was the birth of our 3rd grandchild Kyce, and the rebirth of my oldest grandson Reece, when he gave his life and heart to Jesus on my birthday!!

I want to wish every one of you a special year in 2012!  I also "need"  to thank you for being my friends. There is no words that can express just how much you all mean to me.

I will be posting my Priest Lake Christmas pictures this week as promised.

Huge hugs, Pam

Time really flys by!

Just another note of thanks to each of you who are so loyal and sweet to leave me messages. I am still improving, and each day is better. I went to the Dr. on the 15th. He said things were ok except I had really high blood pressure, so he put me on some meds for that. I go back to him in 2 months.

We are having all the kids over to the house on Friday for Christmas with them, and then Ray and I are going to Priest Lake till Monday. I will as promised post pictures when we get back.

I was going to post some pictures of some cards and rosettes I made but it seems a little late to do it now.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, be blessed my sweet friends. Know also how much I appreciate every one of you. Each of you have touched my life in a very special way:)  I can hardly imagine my life without my blog friends in it.  Every word you leave me lifts my heart and brightens my day!

Big  big  big  hugs,  Pam

I'm getting Better each day!

Just a note to all my dear and caring friends. I am doing better each day. I'm still pretty sore but that too is getting better. The hardest thing right now is I am not supposed to raise my left arm above my head, try putting your hair in a ponytail without raising your arms, not easy!!  My loving hubby has been doing my hair for me, he is a wonderful guy. Whatever I need he is always there for me. I go on Thursday for my follow up visit to make sure the pacemaker is doing what it is supposed to be doing. But I can tell you it's doing something right because I feel a lot more normal.

We are spending Christmas out of town at a beautiful lake called Priest Lake. It's in Idaho, and probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. We went there for Valentines Day last year, but decided to go for Christmas this year. It's kinda expensive but so worth it! We rent their biggest cabin on the lake, with a fireplace and a view that just doesn't end. When we get back I'll post some pictures.

I have made some rosettes about 60 of them, thank you Susan!!!, for the grand kids to make ornaments with. I was pretty worn out after that. But I think they will be so pretty on their trees.

Well I am getting tired so I will close with this,  Thank you every one of you that send me words of encouragement, and care. I love every one of you, and you all mean the world to me.

Big, big hugs, Pam

I have been in the hospital!

Hi guys!! 

I am so sorry I haven't done my drawing yet or even let you all know what has gone on.  As I told you all in my last post (Dec. 1)  I had some DR. appointments.

Well I was put in the hospital Thursday after noon. With a heart problem! Apparently it was not working!! It came as a kick in the head! I was really afraid, not of dying, but of the unknown. God was so good though, He got me some really good heart doctors. They were really great, and gave me peace about what was going on.
Friday morning they put in a pacemaker. I must say other than being very very sore, I am felling a bit better. I am sure you all understand it may be a few more days before I pick a winner for my giveaway.

Please know all my dear friends I am going to be good. I can't use my left arm much for about 6 weeks, so I don't know how much crafting I will be doing, but hey I am alive though!!!  Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated.  I will be back as soon as I can with a winner, I promise:))

Big, big hugs, Pam

Come and Celebrate My Birthday with ME:))

My birthday is Nov. 14th.  I want to have a birthday celebration with all of my wonderful, sweet, beautiful friends!  For my birthday celebration this year, I am going to give a present  to one of  YOU!

Each one of you are such a big part of my life now.  A celebration would not be complete without you all in it with me.

I bought my favorite Christmas cartridge. This has some of the cutest cuts on it.  I love every one of them. It took me the whole year last year to get this. No one had it. Then one day I saw it on Walmart.com  It was just luck I think. I ordered it and by the time I received it Christmas was over!  But I have it this year, Yeah!!!  I  decided that this was what I wanted to give to one of you for my birthday.  So I ordered it in August, so I would have it here for one of you!

I hope you will like this one as much as I do. Here it is:

Here's the back of the cartridge that shows the cute cuts!

 

   Here are the guidelines for one of you to receive my birthday present for you.

• You must be a follower.  Leave me a comment letting me know that you are. Be sure to leave a way to contact you.
• You can have another entry by posting the giveaway on your sidebar. Come back and leave another comment telling me you did that.
• You can have a third entry by telling others about my celebration in a blog post on your blog. Then come and leave another comment telling me you did that.
• Finally you can have a forth entry by grabbing my button and posting it on your blog. Come back and leave a comment telling me you did that.  If you already have my button , just leave a comment letting me know.  

That's it.  I hope you all come and join me for my Birthday. I am going to let this run the whole month, so it will close at midnight Nov. 30/ 2011.  I will get a lucky winner from random.org between Dec. 1- Dec. 4, and post the winner by Dec. 5.   Because postage is so high I must limit the winner to the US. But I want all of my friends from other countries to know how much I adore them. Everyone of you are very special to me.

My biggest hugs to each and every one of you,  Pam
