Work in Progress & freebie

thats how I feel. My life has been so hectic...my eldest is graduating this year. She has decided on a college (go Grambling Tigers) but still has ACT to take, she made captain of the cheerleading squad and nominated to Homecoming Court...all of this means her extracurricular load is crazy...practice for this, practice for that, community appearances...whooo...busy busy busy. Here is Pixie in her uniform pic

my youngest son is seeing a new pediatric neurologist because the two previous ones moved out of the area. She is GREAT! i was really unhappy with the last one he had. He was good with my son but I just found him somewhat standoffish. My son will also be seeing a physiatrist...I had never heard of it either...its a rehabilitation doctor. Rehabilitation physicians are nerve, muscle, and bone experts who treat injuries or illnesses that affect how you move. Jorrell's official diagnosis is hemplegic cerebral palsy (resulting from stroke he suffered in utero) which means this doctor will use his expertise to oversee the physical & occupational therapy. Even with him getting it at school & outpatient once a week, we are noticing increased tone or difficulty with him doing the range of motion exercises. It makes me sad to see how he has to use his left arm turn his right arm in supine position.

But he is a real trooper and so sweet! The brace on his arm is to help with finger extension!
Those are just a few of the things that are keeping me busy. i also seem to have lost my mojo...i am working on a set of paper preview templates. A friend asked me to make her some so I obliged. This one supports 8 papers so here is a sample download here.
i am also working on my first tagger kit..I am part of the yahoo group Truly Inspired and next couple weeks, there will be a blog train based on this story SHIMILY (be sure to have your tissues ready). Stay tuned to for more info on that.

I also got my new blinkie! Once again I can not say how much I LOVE Amanda's work. Here are both of my new blinkies..one to show off my designs and one to say how full my hands AND my heart is with nine kids.

Waiting for my blinkies

I am having Blinkies custom made for me....The talented gal, Amanda, who is making them does a GREAT job. I have seen her work and its marvelous. Plus like me, she collects frogs! Of course thats a big plus in my book!

I am JUST about done with my CATW freebie. I (as usual) kinda got paper happy so expect lots of papers. Textures, patterns, grunge....some have texture, grunge AND pattern!! Don't worry there are other elements as well. Right now I have about 20 pieces....who knows what else I will come up with between now and when I actually make my preview and upload my file. After all who would complain cause they got a freebie with MORE stuff than was listed or shown on the preview.

I think I am going to go blog visiting and pick up some of the great freebies listed at DST...
