Showing some love....

Today I want to share some beautiful cards I've received recently.  Many of you know I went through knee surgery last week for a torn meniscus and cyst removal.  I have been in pain for many months and could hardly walk - and now I feel wonderful!!!  Here are a few cards I received in my recovery -

Beautiful card from Kathy B.  I love the partial circle of piercing - will have to CASE this one.

How cute is this - adorable card from Sandy B.  Thanks for thinking of me.

Another card from Kathy B. - she's gotta know my favorite color is yellow :)

This was a very special Valentine I received from my Sis Sharon in Wisconsin. It included a Starbucks gift card - does she know me or what!?!!  I can't wait to go pick up a special treat with it!

 Thank you all for thinking of me - I so appreciate your thoughts, prayers and friendships!  ~Maureen

Health Update

Hi All - 
sorry I have not been posting much lately.  I have been in so much pain for the past weeks - hard to walk - my right knee killing me.  Well, I finally had an MRI this week - and the prognosis - bursitis, torn meniscus and a cyst - no wonder I hurt.   I see the orthopedist in a week and we'll see what he says :(  

Anyway - I apologize and will try and do better!!!  Thanks for sticking with me!

New Kitchen Appliances

First of all I have to apologize for my lack of stamping posts. It has been a rough couple weeks for me of fatigue, muscle cramps and just feeling lousy - and then today - I got my fever again. Am feeling better now, but I've done very little the last couple weeks, except for sleeping and working. Yikes.

But in the midst of that my sweet hubby was busy - here is my OLD kitchen hood-And here is my new above range microwave that replaced it - how nice is that.

Even better here is my old oven and the empty spot is where my old microwave used to be -

And here is my new amazing double oven - in plenty of time for my big Easter brunch! In fact we'll be making pizzas for Prince's birthday party Saturday and we should be able to make four at a time - woo hoo!

Next we'll be replacing counter tops and my sink - so watch for more kitchen remodel updates in the future. I hope to post some more stamping items soon so stay tuned. And for those of you who have been following my health saga - http://crazystampinglady.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-health-update.html I will be calling my doctor soon to set up my treatment now that I'm feeling lousy again - so hopefully I can stop all this nonsense :)
