The card - stamped images are from SU. Colors are white, black and pool party.
Time to get back into a routine around here. I've got just a few cards in my file that I had done before I left so I can start with those. Hopefully I will be able to get some stamping done this week - that's my goal anyway.
I'm still feeling extremely tired most of the time, but I'm getting really restless so I need to start doing some stuff - don't worry, I'll start small :)
Have a wonderful day!

Finally made it to the beach my last day in California - got to feel the sand between my toes. But now I'm HOME!!!! Yay! Arrived late yesterday after a very long day - my flight was delayed so I ended up spending 5 hours at LAX just waiting on the plane. But, all's well that's ends well and here I am. Feeling pretty good, a little tired and achy, and still really swollen but the Dr says that will go away! Hoping to get some stamping and stitching done soon!
Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments and get well wishes!

The California Saga.....an update and a bit more to the story.........
Starting at the beginning.......... We started on our trip to California for a family wedding on Thursday, May 22. We arrived that night and within a couple hours of our arrival I was experiencing extreme leg pain. Ended up in the emergency room...after a night of tests it was determined that I had blocked arteries...that was the leg part...while running all the tests they discovered that I had a blocked artery in my neck that was in danger of causing a stroke. So, first operation was to take of the neck problem. That went well.
Next operation for the leg problem was scheduled.....started out well enough I guess...but...there ended up being some extreme blood loss, a collapsed lung and I woke up with huge breathing tube stuck down my throat...yuk! That was about the worst thing ever!!! But.... then they decided I had suffered a heart attack either during or after the surgery....so...it was back to surgery to put in a stint in for that issue.
Whew! I was in the hospital for two weeks. Thank goodness for awesome relatives - my cousin Marleen and her family have been taking care of me for the last two weeks since I got out of the hospital. I can't begin to thank them enough for all they've done!!! The Dr says I am doing very well......there's not a lot of pain, just a bit uncomfortable at times but my energy level is about 0 and I'm moving really, really slow (but I'm moving) .....the Dr says it will take 6 -8 weeks for the energy to return so I'm not be impatient Some days I feel better than others, but I'm alive and doing pretty well and getting impatient to return home.
I have my plane ticket now and if all goes well will be returning home on Sunday.
Thank you all for the get well wishes,comments and prayers. Love to you all!!!
