well Crap!

sorry for the not so happy title, but that is what the last week has been, a whole lotta crap!
I only have one little scrap goodie to share with you, it was done last Thursday before darts, and it is the last thing that I have had the energy, or the chance to work on--Elsie Challenge #4:

I like how it turned out with the outline of the photo (photo from April/May 07), but the doodle on the K does not make me happy. oh well.

So, the whole week was pretty bogus all in all. I did get my taxes done, and will get a refund, so that is one good thing, but otherwise, I am still working on figuring out the good!

My grandmother had a stroke on Sunday. She is 90, and I know she has had an amazing life thus far, but it so ain't over yet! She is okay, did not lose motor function, just misplaced her brain for a moment, and her BP was way off the charts! they found out that her carotted(sp?) artery is 99% blocked, and they were discussing surgery. because of her age, they want to not do surgery (thank goodness) and just keep an eye on her! So, she is coming home from the hospital today which makes me very happy, and I am going to try to get up there this weekend and spend some quality time.

then come to find out that last Sunday, my mom's cousin Pat had a stroke as well, and is also in the hospital! She is one of the extended family members that I am closest to, so this one caught me completely off guard. She is in Florida, and her son's are there keeping an eye on her. I am sure she will be okay because she is "strong like bull". :)

I am going to stay positive for both of them, but any extra prayers for the fam would be totally appreciated!!!

ta ta for now, and hopefully I will have some scrappy goodness for you later!!!

xoxo
