Our Journey Notes:
T’s eye is still pretty bloodshot. A student made a comment yesterday His eye is still a bit sore and tires easily. I really hope it’s healing properly. He doesn’t have an appointment with the surgeon this week.
PT exercises are coming along and I think they are helping. A little soreness after a PT session at the clinic and for a day or two, but there are a couple of positives. Headaches, still have them frequently, but they aren’t as intense. YAY! I’ve only had to take one Maxalt in the last 9 days. So that’s really good. Tylenol is sufficient. Next week is the consult with the surgeon and a decision as to whether to complete the series of appointments with the PT.
Rootbeer floats for a July hello card. These were lots of fun and using some heat and puff stuff really helped with the details on the float. Mod-Podge applied to the glass, straw and spoon.
A quick birthday card – images and paper from Lasting Impressions.
a little more fun!
Background paper, my own design. Dies from Spellbinders.
fun card size paper quilts. Digital papers from Nit Wit collections and Carta Bella. And old swirl texture plate from Sizzix for the embossing.
A thank you card — pickles for pickles! Pickle SVG download from Witchvector. Lots of inking!
one of four images from Sweet November Stamps colored with Rembrandt pencils on smooth 110 lb Neenah stock.
I think I’ll stop for now. I have a few more things to share — but they can wait until next my next post.
Have a creative week!

Our Journey Notes:
T is struggling. News yesterday wasn’t as hoped. Swelling hasn’t gone down as much as hoped and IOP pressure is once again too high in the left eye. Dr added another drop to help with the irritation and inflamation with hopes that some additional healing will help. Another appointment on the calendar for early Aug. He was really hoping for some progress. Let’s hope this new plan of drops and healing will work.
Greatitudes
