I have an entire pile of layouts that I have been collecting but no time to get them on my blog. WOW family life has been so crazy the last few months and my family does come first. I will update you on the events of my life in another post. The following are layouts we have completed in the last few months at workshops. Forgive me for not having photos on my layouts. I have lots of scrapbooking to catch up on!!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
Anyway, I wanted to get these up for you photos or no photos so you can get your layouts completed as well. <br />

Below are the workshop layout we did in December. If you didn't finish your layouts you can view them here and get them finished. You should now have Christmas photos to put on your layouts. These layouts were inspired and designed by my upline Karen Pederson. Thanks to Karen for letting me use them.<br />

I know it's been a while since I have talked to all of you. I discovered that I must throw away my wonder women crown and finally admit that I CAN'T do it all. Trust me it has been very difficult for me to admit that. Therefore I had to go on a blogcation in order to keep everything in my life in order. Sorry I didn't give you any warning and I pretty much didn't have any warning myself. I felt something had to be put on the back burner for a little bit and so this blog and CTMH had to go. At least for now. I hope things are getting back in order and I can gradually come back to normal speed.<br />
<br />
Let me give you a run down of the activities at the Kankamp household.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiYBGr15izVp0uLgQahsdpqc443ke5UQHdwYsOeP5Qmn83zzCoXzc-g8lYWQM1N5N_-cJh64kBIwsTNSA2hfU3_coq1tt6t_fuleDjmEWznCBIBdZPdQaoq-YaRcE-7oGoirhJaMp8TWU/s1600/DSC06483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiYBGr15izVp0uLgQahsdpqc443ke5UQHdwYsOeP5Qmn83zzCoXzc-g8lYWQM1N5N_-cJh64kBIwsTNSA2hfU3_coq1tt6t_fuleDjmEWznCBIBdZPdQaoq-YaRcE-7oGoirhJaMp8TWU/s320/DSC06483.JPG" width="320" /></a>This crazy whirlwind started the first week of December. My mom of 85 years old fell and broke her femur (that would be the upper leg) She ended up having surgery to have the bone fixed and ended up with with a rod, plates and several screws.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The surgery was in Colorado which is 500 miles away and recovery would be at least 6 weeks. Not being able to be with her every minute made life very stressful. She did great in surgery and very well with the recovery. She shocked all the doctors and nurses. The medical staff all said "Wow I have never seen an 85 year old women so stubborn and so much determination. She is amazing" However there were some very scary days after she got home with not eating, feeling to weak to get out of bed ect.......</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, she has made a full recovery and as of yesterday she has been cleared to bear 100% weight on that leg and free to do all activities as she wishes. My mom cracks me up. She said to me after meeting with the doctor yesterday. "Gosh I was thinking that my surgeon was more handsome than he really is" OHHH mom you have to realize that drugs can make anyone look good. HAHAH.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH9SFNp7Bpkacxfm-YWLn3kTKrYoPNinJ7_1R-_PLMZ1BiFkx_j_Zo0c_HGEm171lpyIll6wxBBtlzmnrvErJz-3P_c5qkP6Z75K6C_HaS1ozrEHPIg5961fj3i0B_3vtSaHJ_dEQjtgc/s1600/plate.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nfa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH9SFNp7Bpkacxfm-YWLn3kTKrYoPNinJ7_1R-_PLMZ1BiFkx_j_Zo0c_HGEm171lpyIll6wxBBtlzmnrvErJz-3P_c5qkP6Z75K6C_HaS1ozrEHPIg5961fj3i0B_3vtSaHJ_dEQjtgc/s320/plate.JPG" width="239" /></a>Then during this recovery process my second daughter Alyssa decided that she wanted to take the plate off her clavicle. Remember back last spring when she fell off her bike while training for a bike tour and broke her clavicle. That darn plate was really bothering her. Well for insurance reasons we needed to get that out before the end of the year. Therefore she also had surgery. However, her surgery was same day and the recovery was not bad at all. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">It's hard to believe that little plate and cup full of screws she is holding can cost so darn much. Important thing is that her clavicle is all fixed and she has completely recovered and back to normal activities as well.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Next on the agenda was the holidays. We had a fantastic holiday season. With two young adults and two teenagers in my house it's sometimes hard to get super excited about Christmas and make everything feel "MAGICAL" but somehow we did. We enjoyed spending time with each other and had a great holiday seasons and hope you did as well.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">We continue to do chemotherapy every other week. Fred's last pet scan looked pretty good. The tumors had decreased in size and did not glow as much as the previous scan. We were really hoping to take a break for a couple of months but our Oncologist is concerned that the tumors will grow and we will not be able to control them if we take a break right now. So we will continue with chemo every two weeks until the treatment is not working or Fred does not tolerate the treatment.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway that is the crazy few weeks I have had. I have several things to post so I will do that it the next few posts. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I can't believe it's already Halloween. I wanted to share a fun treat with you. No this is not a trick just a pure fun Halloween treat.<br />
<br />
Last Thursday night was my monthly quilt club meeting. However, I was not able to attend this month because I was involved in my three day team retreat which was so much fun and I will be adding lots of artwork that we created at the treat in the next few weeks. Anyway, one of the quilt club ladies made these super cute Halloween treats for everyone. <br />
<br />

Check back soon for retreat artwork. I am still unpacking my boxes.<br />

It's so easy to blog about happy things and things I have created. I just want to live in a perfect little world, but life is anything but perfect. I have decided it's about how you handle your imperfect world. I hope I am handling my imperfect world with class but some days I really wonder.<br />
<br />
OK, lets start with me. I have had some stress added to my world. Nothing like what my husband is going through, but certainly has added to our imperfect world. Lately I have felt that wow I just can't see very well. I felt I really can't see near or far so WOW these soft contacts of mine really need to be looked at. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So before my birthday in August I made my annual appointment with my Ophthalmologist. It was time to renew my drivers license and I was sure I could not pass the eye test. Well there in the Dr office we discovered I have "Keratoconus" What is "Keratoconus" you might ask. Well it's an uncommon condition where the cornea which is usually curved becomes thin and protrudes into a cone shaped cornea. This caused a serious distortion of vision. So yes I really was not going crazy my vision has really changed.</div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

Keratoconus is an inherited disorder and we have looked back through my family tree and to our knowledge we don't have any ancestors that have gone blind. Because it's a degenerative disease the concern is how much worse is this going to get? That is the question we will never know. I hope this is as bad as it will get, but there is a potential that I could slowly (hopefully it's very slow) go blind.<br />
<br />
Good grief I have way too much scrapbooking, quilting, photography, yardwork and decorating my house to do not to mention all the fun things in life I look forward to and I need to be able to see such as my kids growing up and starting families of there own. This just can't be happening. So that is when I asked the magical question. "What is the treatment for this"<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well there is no real treatment to stop the disease. Mild cases can be treated with glasses or hard contact lenses. As it progresses surgery such as corneal transplant is recommended, but no guarantee it will work. WELL, I would rather see a little bit than not at all so I told the doc that surgery is not an option and actually he agreed. So I have been making weekly trips to my Ophthalmologist. They have fitted me with some hard contact lenses. Once the hard contact lens is in my eyeball it causes the cornea to form into the correct shape and I can see. Right not with the hard contact lenses I can see 20/20 once again and it's a great feeling. These contact lenses are a pain to use and take care of, but if it helps so I can see it's all worth it. I am crossing my fingers and praying that this will not get any worse. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>Now for Fred. Well he feels like a million bucks. Has not felt this good in a really long time. So we did a PET scan and those dang tumors in the liver and lungs are trying to grow. So we could wait and just watch, but our Oncologist felt it would be better to hit them when they are as small as possible.<br />

UGGGHHH we have just had it with chemo and didn't want to start up again and rob Fred of how he feels, but at the same time I don't want to get down the road in 3-4 months and wish we had treated. So here we go again. This regimen will cause him to lose his hair which he is having a hard time accepting. I keep telling him bald is sexy. I am not sure he is believing me. Anyway, we appreciate the prayers sent our way as always.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Workshops were this week which keeps me on my toes, but I love having you all come and workshops are one of the biggest highlights of my life. I know I get to visit with those that come to workshops and I LOVE helping you create your layouts, laugh, talk and socialize.<br />
<br />
This month we worked with the "Typeset" paper and accessories. This kit is so fun and I love, love, love this paper. Below are the layouts minus the journaling. I better get that done-huh?<br />

We used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut many of the pieces for the layout. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS-CQT9cXuaEQj1P590CiIIpfMEQwjT5QlcqjQgXlqQ5KE1Fbl2d95IIWixslvB6ZWP0ckyCSJc_Hntz1SAP6QY8M_4g7XDj7JwJ1tbzjeUjEg4VDnMAXSjQ3W3k1fhQls09SvfrYjnhA/s1600/WOTG-Typeset_Lauren.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS-CQT9cXuaEQj1P590CiIIpfMEQwjT5QlcqjQgXlqQ5KE1Fbl2d95IIWixslvB6ZWP0ckyCSJc_Hntz1SAP6QY8M_4g7XDj7JwJ1tbzjeUjEg4VDnMAXSjQ3W3k1fhQls09SvfrYjnhA/s400/WOTG-Typeset_Lauren.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Layout Two:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This layout can easily be a back to school layout. It also works great for a birthday layout. Afterall "In A Class Of Your Own" is all about life and our journey through life.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-fHlo3ObckbM59so680GJk4eCED8nCDYbs37nTnIzsvA9QAO6F1mSryh-uMT8EqqcMdd6WuMbmxXzTO7vvoHTucpUaThW1dkKK9mOnJDD1cerg8Rs2G4TOhBYVOl_51DLdkbjHO7RsFA/s1600/WOTG-Typeset_Alyssa.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-fHlo3ObckbM59so680GJk4eCED8nCDYbs37nTnIzsvA9QAO6F1mSryh-uMT8EqqcMdd6WuMbmxXzTO7vvoHTucpUaThW1dkKK9mOnJDD1cerg8Rs2G4TOhBYVOl_51DLdkbjHO7RsFA/s400/WOTG-Typeset_Alyssa.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Layout Three:<br />
Great layout to highlight an accomplishment such as I have done here with my daughter Alyssa. Just an overall fun layout.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Enjoy completing your layouts. Next months layouts we will be using "Mischief" two of the layouts will be Halloween and one a Fall page. Mark your calendars so you don't miss the fun. If you currently are not part of the fun of workshops then email me and lets get your started. Don't let your memories slip away. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I must say I have completely neglected my blog this last week. I have had a few things I have been dealing with that I will tell you about later.

So before the weekend gets completely away from me I wanted to share some happy mail I received a couple weeks ago.

However a highlight at the end of the Summer for our family is my husbands summer party hosted by his company "Morinda". They do an amazing job and one of the biggest parties you have ever seen and the entire family is invited. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">This year my husband decided that we would participate in the golf tournament hosted by his company. So we formed our family foursome (Fred, Me, Brandon and Alyssa). Fred of course has played lots of golf and I have played a little, but Brandon and Alyssa has never played.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQ1L3BpQaQ7fgRxvc852rAzo22IiHgICIW1x28FNZPRlAI-o45n6d2ewZ4591hdAw6IJqfdjWTbMRQe9HqT47Oa4m5VuRUEKbtl-IHZsM4m3xJxWF7dQWXSRL7vUHNUZtsmt01GFAFWU/s1600/IMG_7815.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixQ1L3BpQaQ7fgRxvc852rAzo22IiHgICIW1x28FNZPRlAI-o45n6d2ewZ4591hdAw6IJqfdjWTbMRQe9HqT47Oa4m5VuRUEKbtl-IHZsM4m3xJxWF7dQWXSRL7vUHNUZtsmt01GFAFWU/s400/IMG_7815.JPG" width="400" xaa="true" /></a> So the idea was to really just have fun. For the most part that is what we did but there were times that the competitive side of my family came through. Alyssa is a "lefty" and so she had her left handed clubs and was being a good sport and decided golf is really not her thing and perhaps needs to just stick to swimming, biking and those kind of things. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzH2Ov5-ilCEngQi1xDpFZdHF97NfJ9v6BqF33laWa0zCg3EBsRSzPx2epZf-zVWmhkebw_9Z2NGL_PfhT0R4Z2XNZP0Appj3MbUng_QuK7CxEGzvl0G66olM4_WdXq3RL6e4MDhWikI/s1600/IMG_7862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzH2Ov5-ilCEngQi1xDpFZdHF97NfJ9v6BqF33laWa0zCg3EBsRSzPx2epZf-zVWmhkebw_9Z2NGL_PfhT0R4Z2XNZP0Appj3MbUng_QuK7CxEGzvl0G66olM4_WdXq3RL6e4MDhWikI/s400/IMG_7862.JPG" width="400" xaa="true" /></a>Brandon on the other hand was very good for never playing. Maybe he has found his new niche. Anyway, we did have lots of fun and we ended up finishing a few over par. So not that bad for three of us being very inexperienced. I had tons of fun taking photos. I took lots of photos and plan to scrapbook them in STUDIO J. So check back often and see the fun layouts using these photos.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5ULyzc9wWXYF9JVYaGLkZayJwFFWSU_F10-B-XF9kCMHK6ymxiCUlBrXqiciEQF_py3oAZTnHwuVjopdBheAVc-HnetDnnd-6ag_th6hKPR3Xod-j08LRL1yn6sZdfiwMRkQfPCU6BA/s1600/IMG_7953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5ULyzc9wWXYF9JVYaGLkZayJwFFWSU_F10-B-XF9kCMHK6ymxiCUlBrXqiciEQF_py3oAZTnHwuVjopdBheAVc-HnetDnnd-6ag_th6hKPR3Xod-j08LRL1yn6sZdfiwMRkQfPCU6BA/s400/IMG_7953.JPG" width="267" xaa="true" /></a>Well the ironic part of all of this is that Alyssa won the straightest drive. Her ball was just a few inches from the line. She was given a fun gift that evening at the party. She was excited that she won, however she was thinking that she was going to win $100 of cold hard cash and was thinking that it would come in so handy to buy text books but what she really won was $100 gift certificate to the Pro Golf shop and 18 holes of gold. HAHAH. Well she gave that to her dad so hopefully he will get to reap the rewards of her straightest dive.</div>Lynettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17751691532198147510noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412448919062973262.post-32677762369571293912011-08-24T09:32:00.000-07:002011-08-24T09:36:35.994-07:00Today's Activities Include....<div style="text-align: left;">Today's activities include absolutely nothing....ohhh how I wish but it was a great thought for a brief moment. However, for the first time all summer I did sleep in. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">At the beginning of the summer my 16 year old son Brandon took a paper route The requirements for the job was you had to be 16 years old and have a car that was insured. Since his car is great on gas he took the job. HOWEVER, what they didn't tell him was the job really is a two person job and the route was fairly difficult. It really was not just driving down the street and throwing the paper out the window.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, after 3 days he really wanted to throw in the towel (or should I say throw in the paper-LOL). We encouraged that he can't quite. More than anything we wanted him to learn the following life lessons from this.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1) Life can be difficult at times and not every job you are going to love, but you have to stick it out.</div><div style="text-align: left;">2) Remember your family is always there to help you in a time of need.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3) Apply yourself and set high goals now to go to college or potentially this in the kind of job you will have for a lifetime.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZgOLbmlLDMGrDKwj_cp_t1Q_-4eFUmJ0fWWv6RcjwfGxxN5ztDY5K8cLh4nrb2lobd7SPUD3JI131Q1pzQj58rdg4-OuSH6jc9zc8F0JQrLuWr5Yco_g9L6fAjW9jPabFAZ58af1VPQ/s1600/IMG_7732.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZgOLbmlLDMGrDKwj_cp_t1Q_-4eFUmJ0fWWv6RcjwfGxxN5ztDY5K8cLh4nrb2lobd7SPUD3JI131Q1pzQj58rdg4-OuSH6jc9zc8F0JQrLuWr5Yco_g9L6fAjW9jPabFAZ58af1VPQ/s400/IMG_7732.JPG" width="400" /></a>So he did stick it out. Brandon and I got up every morning at 2:15am to go do his paper route. He ended up making pretty good money and the best part of it all I saw him grow so much this summer.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Yesterday was our last day so today I plan on doing nothing (not really) but it has been great to rest and relax. I for sure need a pedicure after I am done here in the Jacuzzi tub...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />

These layouts as well were inspired by my BFF Karen. The photos of the layouts are very poor. Sorry about that. I picked up my camera to photograph these layouts and take photos for layout 2 and well for some reason my camera is stuck in "Bulb" and I can't shoot in manual.<br />
<br />
So I took it to the camera hospital and had to leave it so they can trouble shoot. YIKES I felt like I was leaving one of my children. I guess I am a bit obsessed with my camera. Looks like I will be without it for at least two weeks. What am I going to do without it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, for those of you that are pre-cutting your layouts before you come to workshops I suggest you click on the images as you cut and it will make it easier.<br />

Due to family situations I had to cancel July workshops so that means we will be doing July and Aug kits this month. It will be fast and furious but I promise that you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the layouts. I will start by posting the Bliss kit.<br />
<br />
These layouts were inspired by my dear friend and upline Karen Pederson. I have been spread so thin that I don't know how I would have ever had a minute to design layouts for workshop. I love how CTMH consultants really work together as a team to help each other out in times of need. Ever want to join my team and join the fun let me know.<br />
<br />
Layout 1: (click on image to enlarge)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVXMaoO4HCgYz2p9WHKpgYzHeQQIOvZ3j48lJifQOzLemzMFaPkfX0ARe1KZDVDER79hwshEVNj_CEp0lS81WoHO33H2SP2nl8uqA9hjvTjqvUhrus0KEy_OgqYHVKDAafFBsR4JsWz0/s1600/IMG_7558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfVXMaoO4HCgYz2p9WHKpgYzHeQQIOvZ3j48lJifQOzLemzMFaPkfX0ARe1KZDVDER79hwshEVNj_CEp0lS81WoHO33H2SP2nl8uqA9hjvTjqvUhrus0KEy_OgqYHVKDAafFBsR4JsWz0/s400/IMG_7558.JPG" t$="true" width="400" /></a></div> Because this kit is neutral colors you can add just about photos to the layout and it will look great. The letters I sponged in Cotton Candy but you can accent with just about any color and it will look great.<br />
<br />
Sepia photos look fantastic with this kit. That blank square on the right page is for journaling. HUMMM I better get my journaling done before I file this away in the album. <br />

Let me introduce you to my <strong><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Studio J Virtual classroom</span></strong>. You might ask "What is a Studio J Virtual Classroom"? Virtual classrooms are an easier and more convenient way to attend classes, and you can choose when to attend and you can complete the course from the comfort of your own home. It's like having a web conference or on-line meeting where we will desktop share as I walk you completely through the layout at your pace . All you need is a computer and internet.<br />
<br />
Come give it a try. We will start with the below layout called "Beautiful You" of course with Studio J you will be customizing the title and colors to fit your photos and needs.<br />
<br />
If you don't have photos for the layout no problem. If you live in the Salt Lake City, UT area just contact me and I will be more than happy to come do a photo shoot of you, your family or anything you choose for me to photograph. I charge a very minimal fee for the photo shoot.<br />

It was so fun and amazing other than the fact I got very nauseated on the flight home and have not felt too hot the last couple of days. Therefore I have just been hanging out and taking it easy. I just wanted to give you a few sneak peaks into the new Idea Book that we will available Aug 1st.<br />
We had a couple of create and take sections at convention and made this layout and cube.<br />

There is so much fun stuff I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks but I do want to give you a sneak peak at something that all of you will be so excited about. <br />
<br />
CTMH has teamed up with Cricut to provide you with our very own CTMH exclusive cricut cartridge bundle with 3 coordinating stamp sets, coordinating chipboard shapes, and over 700 images and a font - it's an amazing cricut cartridge with 6 function features - it's maxed out. 3-D flowers, flourishes, shapes that coordinate with stamps from the Idea Book - which are called out in the Idea Book outlined in red so you can see which stamps would coordinate with the cricut shapes easily. Plus if the stamp coordinates, the SIZE setting you need to use on the cricut to cut the coordinating shape is printed right on the stamp set liner next to the image picture. It's amazing and you will love it.<br />
<br />
Below is a quick video explaining the new cartridge "Art Philosophy"-Enjoy<br />

Here is a card I got from CTMH when I attended the directors dinner. I LOVE these rolled flowers we can make with the cartridge. HOW fun will that be.<br />
<br />
New Idea Book and new items will be available Aug 1st. Check back soon as I will be announcing some exciting specials as well as posting my Studio J virtual classroom. Let me just catch my breath first.<br />

It's been a long and difficult couple of weeks as we have made many decisions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX7gZ4tVu4nrhdwIIfltLKOXXMh0Di9dcWnYwhyphenhyphenRXu0fYeGGo14VIs_2qgzxoAWCMEUibCdfqn_picEFDYBH1FfM1BKj3vlKO-kOfDQmqeezKtqkF3qhibZhnlQfKwViK4xEQ0Y_BpNWI/s1600/IMG_2677.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX7gZ4tVu4nrhdwIIfltLKOXXMh0Di9dcWnYwhyphenhyphenRXu0fYeGGo14VIs_2qgzxoAWCMEUibCdfqn_picEFDYBH1FfM1BKj3vlKO-kOfDQmqeezKtqkF3qhibZhnlQfKwViK4xEQ0Y_BpNWI/s400/IMG_2677.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>We met with a rectal surgeon about one month ago to further investigate the rectal pain Fred was still experiencing. I was very impressed by Dr. Kim. He is not a big fan of putting patients through pain so we decided to do an internal ultrasound of the rectum to see what is going on.<br />
<br />
What we discovered was a hole in Fred's tale bone and the tumor was wrapped around the nerves that cross over the tailbone. So taking out the tumor is not an option or you would have to take out the tailbone and that is something I would not wish on anyone not to mention the mortality rate is VERY high.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06iF5yx9Ya5fFxqmWA2a6Z8rvtLhaiHtMpLJhyphenhyphenUB947BKnz6IPHRre0ZG02ZJCFqUq8K7rKNoCDN4CKGTy2CRFEptDfwzlzYzqO1QG83yJOO7N7oQ80uVtZsussfX7b-7SHcXXRlw-FI/s1600/IMG_2697.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg06iF5yx9Ya5fFxqmWA2a6Z8rvtLhaiHtMpLJhyphenhyphenUB947BKnz6IPHRre0ZG02ZJCFqUq8K7rKNoCDN4CKGTy2CRFEptDfwzlzYzqO1QG83yJOO7N7oQ80uVtZsussfX7b-7SHcXXRlw-FI/s400/IMG_2697.JPG" width="266" /></a></div><br />
So why is there a hole you may ask? Well it is very rare for this to happen. I have been asking all of you to keep us in your prayers and well it worked. I testify that prayers are answered. Fred responded so well to the chemo treatments that it left a hole. What we don't know is if the tumor was already in the tailbone and with chemo it killed the tumor and left a hole or if the chemo was targeting the tumor that is laying on top of the tailbone and weakened the bone to the point that now we have a hole.<br />
<br />
We actually are very blessed that the tumor is on the posterior side of the rectum. If it had been on the anterior side it would have been near the stomach and bladder and those are sterile areas and if there would have been a hole created there and then the chemo infused into that area it would have killed him. So thanks for the prayers because I feel very blessed and this could have been so much worse than it is.<br />
<br />
Therefore Fred had surgery on 6-30-11. To protect Fred's privacy I am not going to go into details of the surgery, but we just had to reroute things to prevent sepsis (full body infection) in the future and hopefully relieve some of his pain.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DkBwJyMXXT7v0RIJtlSRLmYjDG5-wMNA2HeskziZjbZTSyFiuzaZfcueMgSu0oM6MJA2gtI1cJGfPSFyhnlO9J79PQOKI0C4RGbyaPUoy_OOPxoAXIbY9V_p6x4NUeyKUvwoVsO0Gcw/s1600/IMG00030-20110630-1419.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_DkBwJyMXXT7v0RIJtlSRLmYjDG5-wMNA2HeskziZjbZTSyFiuzaZfcueMgSu0oM6MJA2gtI1cJGfPSFyhnlO9J79PQOKI0C4RGbyaPUoy_OOPxoAXIbY9V_p6x4NUeyKUvwoVsO0Gcw/s320/IMG00030-20110630-1419.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Surgery went well and he is recovering well. We still welcome many many prayers. We were discharged from the hospital today. Hopefully recovery will be very quick and back to regular activities very soon.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all of you for your support, love and friendship. It means everything to us. Have a great day.Lynettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17751691532198147510noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412448919062973262.post-31234897684636099702011-07-04T08:17:00.000-07:002011-07-04T08:17:01.460-07:00Stadium of Fire and Happy 4th AmericaA family favorite for the 4th of July is to attend the Stadium of Fire. It's the very best way to celebrate the 4th of July with great entertainment and amazing fireworks. <br />
<br />
This year was no exception with the line up of our Murray hometown super star David Archuleta (not to mention we are all big time fans of David) and Brad Paisley. So months ago I ordered our tickets.<br />
<br />
It was an amazing show not to mention a great escape from life for an evening. I posted a couple of video's of David singing the Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs from the show. Daivd really can pull at your heartstrings singing these songs and makes you really appreciate our country and those who fight for our freedom.<br />
<br />
So pause my playlist at the bottom of this blog and enjoy as you celebrate. HAVE A WONDERFUL 4th. <br />
