Copics and an update

I wanted to update you on my sister, she came through her surgery with flying colors and is showing signs of improvement on movement. She was tickled to death that she could scratch her nose, which means she will once again be able to feed herself with her right hand . And she came home today.

I have recently started purchasing Copic markers and taking classes at my local scrapbook store. So, I have been thirsting for knowledge on how to use my beautiful new rainbow of colors and searching for digital stamps to use. I have compiled my searching into a new page on my blog. I am adding more to it so keep checking back. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Updating my blog

I have been working away on updating the blog. I have updated the Shopping sites, Blog Resources and Scrapping Resources. I have more to add to them and will let you know when I have more updates.

Tomorrow is the 10th Anniversary of 9/11...please keep the families of those that lost their lives in your thoughts and prayers. May God bless them and ease their aching hearts.

I have a prayer/keep us in your thoughts request of my own. My sister, Julie is having surgery on her spine Tuesday. She has severe arthritis in her discs and it is squeezing her spinal cord. She is currently having issues with her arms & legs and is having problems walking, lifting her arms and gripping. We are very hopeful that the replacement surgery of C2 - C6 will allow her to live a normal life again.

Thank you for any prayers and good thoughts.

TWEAKING!?!

That is my new favorite word! Tweaking ~ to make a minor adjustment to: to tweak a computer program. In my case I am tweaking creative projects and more. Making small changes to them. 

I have been taking a few classes at  Scrap N Friends because I feel the need to make new friends and I need to create and I do not currently have a space to do that in. Creating is my stress relief and I desperately need that lol!

I love the classes, but I have to be honest and admit that not all of the things we do meet my creative style. And I don't carry ALL of my scrap supplies with me, so when I get home, I am going to start TWEAKING them to fit my creative style.

I will take before and after pics and post them. My first TWEAKING is not a paper creation, it is a tote I purchased to take to class. I wasn't crazy about it being black and white, so I came home and TWEAKED it in 15 minutes with my Copics. 

What do you think of the creative change?
