He's been very sick for about a month and has been in and out of the hospital 3 times. At first they told us it was </span><span style="text-align: left;">Osteoporosis but on the 23rd of December he was actually </span><span style="background-color: white;">diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma a blood cancer. We are both in shock and my heart is truly breaking. He is only 56 yrs old so this cancer is rare for someone his age. He had his first Chemo treatment on Christmas Eve and I was finally able to bring him home from the hospital Christmas night. A true Christmas gift. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can't do any type of crafting right now and my husband needs my full attention. It's going to be a couple of difficult months. He is in so much pain and this type of cancer makes him very week because the blood cancer attacks the bones and in his case dissolves part of them. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">We are extremely happy with his new Oncologist/Hematologist and I'm sure he will get the best possible care. I'm staying positive for him and myself and pray that his treatment works well and makes him stronger.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Take care & hugs, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;">Tammy </span></p><p style="text-align: right;"><br /></p>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13965456941562737514noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690086799859312622.post-1264106823628396942021-12-15T03:00:00.001-07:002021-12-15T03:00:00.266-07:00Vintage Christmas Page<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #434343; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Good morning everyone!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #434343; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #434343; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">It's time for a new challenge at </span><a href="http://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.com/" style="color: #3d85c6; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><b>Sparkles Monthly</b></a><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> and the theme this month is...</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="color: #434343;"><b>Vintage Christmas or Vintage Occasion</b>.</span></span></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdrHR3ybbssrXooviWJd-6MxE-35Oic05_j4QV26zl7CCmqMJ3eke0fjWKvzsMrssKks0eaYBhlzgdCwpuHonk_UhUmkZm00EJ6lUOJOY0ykYgNnR4kfbZLzW1q_QJQJCN_m-WXcjm78UotGLTQ3Z5TyyQRuFiez2_GoJR3sFEtOh2uQQG3U3Nx9YXpg=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1700" data-original-width="2048" height="581" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdrHR3ybbssrXooviWJd-6MxE-35Oic05_j4QV26zl7CCmqMJ3eke0fjWKvzsMrssKks0eaYBhlzgdCwpuHonk_UhUmkZm00EJ6lUOJOY0ykYgNnR4kfbZLzW1q_QJQJCN_m-WXcjm78UotGLTQ3Z5TyyQRuFiez2_GoJR3sFEtOh2uQQG3U3Nx9YXpg=w699-h581" width="699" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I made a art journal page to fit my acrylic tabletop photo frame :) I used <span style="text-align: left;">Authentique's Christmas Calendar Collection, Old Paper Distress ink and Tim Holtz Christmas stickers.

I cut three ovals for the pumpkin, colored them with ink and then stamped a few flourishes. I used a burlap folder to emboss the ground portion, a Lawn Fawn die for the leaves and a MFT die for swirls- all were colored with Oxide inks. I cut the 'Autumn' word out with a Echo Park die, stamped some extra sentiments and to finish it up I added a orange twine bow and that's about it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-size: 16px;">Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge </span><a href="https://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.com/" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration-line: none;"><b>blog </b></a><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-size: 16px;">to check out the rest of the teams beautiful creations! </span></div><div><div style="color: #434343; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">Tammy x</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="color: #434343; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #434343; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Challenges I would like to enter:</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/" style="line-height: 19.4px; text-align: left;" target="new">Allsorts</a><span style="line-height: 19.4px; text-align: left;">- Anything Goes with option of Nature</span></span></div><div><span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; line-height: 19.4px; text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/" style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">Simon Says Stamp Monday</a><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="text-align: center;">- Touchy Feely</span></span></span></div><div><span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.4px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://stampsfun-creativity.blogspot.com/">Stamps & Fun=Creativity</a>- </span><span style="text-align: left;">Color of Autumn</span></span></span></span></div><div><span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.4px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><a href="http://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: left; text-decoration-line: none;">The Paper Funday</a><span style="text-align: left;">-</span><span style="text-align: left;"> Anything Goes/Optional Twist of Autumn</span></span></span></span></div></div></div>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13965456941562737514noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690086799859312622.post-17041698241622929272021-09-15T03:00:00.004-06:002021-09-15T10:45:35.002-06:00Autumn Owl...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="color: #434343;">Good morning everyone...
