Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Today we celebrate my son's 30th birthday!

He was born with Cerebral Palsy and is wheelchair bound since his back fusion surgery in 2010. We always make his birthday a big deal around here. Tonight we are having his favorite thing....steamed crab legs! I will also get him a small birthday cake too! 

As part of his birthday celebration, this is the card I made for him.

He is a HUGE fan of the Dallas Cowboys and this year they have made a comeback with a perfect winning streak! I guess since they have a new quarterback that makes a huge difference!

I made his card in the colors of the Dallas Cowboys.....

This card was somewhat of a case from a card I seen on Pinterest made by Christine Miller. I love the design and kept that but changed up the star and my sentiment. I was looking for something quick & easy since I am swamped with work right now and I hate to say no to a customer.

Let's Celebrate Card:

Stamps: Sumthin Sumthin (retired), Sunburst Sayings

Ink: Night of Navy

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Night of Navy, Brushed Silver, Whisper White

Accessories: Lucky Stars EF, Swirly Bird Thinlits, Star Framelits, Stitched Oval Framelits, Classic Label Punch, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy 30th Birthday, Ryan!!!

My thoughts today.....

Woohoo! Going to be a nice day! 

Hope your day is nice too!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'll see you tomorrow!

Sunburst Cards & Update

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I have just a very quick update then I need to get moving.

I recently borrowed my friends Sunburst Thinlit Die and at that point I realized we needed the matching stamp set to go with it! So I jumped online and ordered it. This is what I made with it so far but for now since I probably won't be stamping too much with hubby home, I left my friend borrow the stamp set to go with her Thinlit. I did not think i'd like it but I really do!

Sunburst Card Set:

Stamps: Sunburst Sayings

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Neenah White, Whisper White, Hello Honey, Basic Black, Gold Glimmer Paper

Accessories: Sunburst Thinlit, Circle & Scallop Circle Punches, Dimensional, 2 Sided Tape

So Shawn had his surgery bright & early yesterday!

All went well except for the hour or so wait at CVS just to get his pain medication filled. I was less than amused with that place! I may even switch my meds over to another place after that fiasco!! Anyways, his surgery was less than 40 mins to do a Plantar Fasciotomy. The surgical place did a wonderful job and he was on his way shortly after. Everyone was very friendly and so helpful. His pain level today isn't bad and he's so far not had any pain meds. He's up walking on his foot but not over doing it. The swelling has come down. Tomorrow I can take the bandages off and clean up his foot and place bandaids on the incisions then he will not have to put the foot brace back on but instead have to wear his shoes with the inserts in. No barefoot!! He will return to see the doctor next Tuesday and the following week have the stitches out.  He's quite pleased and hopes this takes care of the pain he's had for months in his feet. Now to find something to occupy his time while being off is another story! He looks bored already! Haha! He is talking about going fishing next week as long as the weather stays nice. Yesterday we hit 80 degrees! 

Just wanted to say a huge Thank You for all the prayers and well wishes for Shawn. 

We so appreciate your kindness!

That's all I have for today!

Thank you for stopping by & have a great day!
