HELLO!!! SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH YOU!

Hello, my extended family!!!  I hope all is well!

Thank you so much for all your well wishes, they are so very much appreciated.  It feels like I've been away forever, and I've missed you and my crafting tremendously.  I can't begin or imagine how to tell you how difficult and exhausting this week has been, but both myself and my aunt are well.  I brought her home yesterday and she will still have a nurse to come in to provide 24-hour supervision because she's still a bit confused, and because she gets around so well, she is a "flight" risk being anxious to go back to work.  I have some pictures to share with you at the bottom of this post that I took of her getting ready to come home.  She dressed herself and was definitely in hurry to leave.  Although she was upset with me because I forgot her wig and her teeth, she was so happy to "get out" -- lol-- she was a good sport and even posed.

Before I go any further, I so very behind on visiting you and althought I may not get through all the wonderful projects you've  done that I've missed, I will be around to see as much as I can of what you've been up too.  Please excuse me if it takes me some time as I visit so many that it will take me awhile.  I have not forgotten or forsaken any of you!  I'll be there as soon as I can!

Well, I'd told you I came in and worked on several projects the other night to calm myself down but, unfortunately, I was unable to post them the following day.  So, I'd like to share with you now.  The first project is a "Be Thankful" box/card set, the box is filled with after dinner mints:

This next holiday set is a purse-size tissue box with a card set.  The box lid secures with Velcro:

Because of the way the tissues come folded, they dispense from the top of the box instead of in the middle:

I do have a third project; however, you won't be able to see it until Monday, November 22.  That is when I'm being presented as a guest designer at Gaby's.  Gaby is a new friend and asked me to be a guest designer, and I accepted her invitation; so, I hope you will all join me there for the presentation of my project.  I believe you'll like my project, Gaby, and her place too!

Now for the pictures of my aunt.  On this first one she's completing dressing herself:

She refuses any assistance and it's really so cute, although sooooo annyoying at times.  On this next picture she doing her "I'm very happy I'm getting outta here" pose:

Most of the women in my family have long hair -- can you believe in my whole life I've only seen my aunt's real hair maybe 4 times.  She keeps it braided and tied under a wig!!!  Everyone was telling her how pretty her hair was -- meant nothing to her, she wanted her wig and her teeth!!!  LOL!!!

Love you all and I'll be seeing you!
