An Ocean Breeze Sets the Mind at Ease
I am continuing to get stronger every day since my thumb surgery 2 weeks ago. I started occupational therapy yesterday and I am already WAY AHEAD with my therapy this time than last time so I am pleased with that. And I am only going once a week instead of twice a week so that's a plus. I have exercises I do at home and they are definitely helping me be less sore!!

Happy 60th Birthday!
One of my best friends is turning the big 6-0 this summer so I made her this card with 60 balloons. Yes I counted them! I'm not far behind, another year until I turn 60! That's hard to believe! LOL

You're One of the Coolest People I Know
More popsicles!! These 3 step stencils are so fun to line up and color :).
I went to my hand surgeon yesterday and got my stitches out in my thumb. I continue to have stabbing pains in my thumb area and they said its completely normal with this type of surgery. I had it last time too and it lasts for a few weeks. Its been HORRIBLE the past few days! On a positive note, I start my occupational therapy next week, which a week sooner than last time. I really do feel I am healing much faster this time and I hope to be back to be back to stamping real soon. Meanwhile, I was able to make this stenciled card.

Life Would Be Im-Popsicle Without You
Who says one can't stencil 1-handed? LOL I got these today in the mail and I instantly had to make a card! Tomorrow I get my stitches out in my thumb and I cannot wait!! Then the occupational therapy can begin in 2 weeks!
I finally updated my Distress Oxide chart. Only missing 2 colors! I found the chart here or here.

Weekender Tote Ice Cream Anyone?
This weekender tote die cut by Concord & 9th is so fun!! I wish I could have this in real life - I would totally carry a tote bag like this !!! The die cuts make it super easy to just cut out, glue it together and voila! A instant little tote bag!! Very little stamping but I did stamp the tag that reads "For You".
You'll see I still have my arm bandaged up so no heavy duty stamping yet but I am able to color with my right hand since my left hand was done this time. Stitches come out Thursday!!

Christmas in July moose
I discovered this stamp company all the way over in England and a company in South Carolina sells them! I love moose and had to have this set. I see it's currently sold out so I see I am not the only one who loves it! I used some gold stickles for his hat and some black nuvo drops for some lines under his feet. I was able to make this card while recooperating from my thumb surgery a week ago.

Your Kindness Matters
I am getting ready to have thumb surgery on my left hand on July 11th so I made a few thank you cards. Last time I had surgery on my right thumb in January, 3 of our neighbors made us meals and it was so wonderful not to have to cook :).
TIME OUT - Kind
