What are you up to this weekend? Any special craft plans?

[Whoopsie Daisy!]

My MIL is taking me to the quilt show tomorrow.

Today, I am going to focus on scrapbooking, making a special card for my great-uncle, who was diagnosed with throat cancer, cleaning out the craft room.... again, and making some Halloween cards (yes, I am a bit behind).

Hugs to all!
Have a wonderful weekend.

I spent half the morning searching the grocery stores for Lexia raisins - the fruitcake isn't right without them. It's crazy because I don't even like fruitcake! DH and friends go wild over it. The other half of the morning was spent playing phone tag with DS in BC. Still haven't connected with him but the raisins are soaking in rum.
NOW I'm going to my craft room to make some cards. Wheeeeeee!

The fear of cancer is new to me now. My brother (33 years old) was diagnosed this week (testicular) and has surgery on Monday. It is really eye opening how quickly things can change. I am not sure how I will be if things don't work out for him and my family.

saturday: Dh is in the garage drilling holes for the lady across the street. She makes some sort of decorative tray using picture frames. He has 20 more frames to go...

Once that's over with we're off to Lowe's (their back in my good graces now) to order a big rug. THEN I'm crafting the rest of the afternoon...my 'in my mind masterpiece' is pending..stamped and all..lol I hope to knock out 12 of them today. No chatting until I am finished....welllll.......

Hi Just Julie,

I will keep your brother in my prayers. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I can relate to what your brother and family are going through. Best of luck to you all.

Thank you, Linda- likewise.

is pretty stong for me too. The women in my family have all had some degree of ovarian cancer and Kevin's family has a history of breast cancer.

I'm keeping your brother in my thoughts, Julie. Sending up prayers for better days ahead.

Thanks, Jane. My family is a little disfunctional...we're "not supposed to talk about it" according to my brother. I appreciate being able to let it out on here. My mom called me (we live in a different city) whispering like 'deep throat' and dropped hte bomb...then says "I gotta go." sigh....oh well...what are you gonna do, right? I still love them all even though they're crazy .

Today was soccer games and tomorrow we're going pumpkin picking. The weather here this weekend is fantastic fall weather, sunny with just a bite in the air so its perfect time for sweaters.

Keeping those of you dealing with illnesses in my thoughts.

Jane, I just bought a wonderful new stamp entitled "What Cancer Cannot Do" because we just found out that my 24 yo niece has uterine cancer and I wanted to make her a special card. I can stamp a few for you if you are interested. I attached the website so you can read what the stamp says. Just email me and let me know if you'd like a few.
