Mom's ATC - Getting Close!

Hi Friends ~

I wanted to update you...we're getting close to the end of our first ATC swap and I thought I'd give you a bit of an update.

Mom is doing well.  She went back last Thursday and had her stitches out.  4 more weeks of no weight on her foot BUT she is going back to work today (4 days a week).  I thought she might want to try for 1/2 days for a bit but she's stubborn and wanted to go the full day.  Anyway, dad will be dropping her off and picking her up each day.  I go over and spend a couple days with her on the weekends while Dad is at work (he's retired but works part time on Fri nite/Sunday a.m.).    We've been watching vintage spook movies from the 40's/50's/60's and I help gather craft supplies for her to help pass the time :)

On to the swap....

I've got 4 packages in so far ~

Creatology; Ink-Pattie; Helen C and Mom has hers finished as well!  They are all super and I can't wait to share their creations with you all :)

We all have 12 more days to finish up the cards and drop them in the mail so they arrive by 10-8-11!  I will sort, repackage and post as quickly as possible.  Of course I'm sure some people will drop out by then BUT it is looking like a magnificent swap from what I've seen and heard!

Getting very exciting now!!!

  2. Moms are stubborn like that. I hope she doesn't overdo herself. But then they raised us and survived. :o)

  3. Hi
    Just recovering from surgery. Have a huge order of new stamp stuff arriving in the morning. I can hardly wait. Worked on my layouts when I was at Mayo, so just need to get the pieces done and put together.

    I plan to have them done by next Monday, and in the mail to you on Tuesday the 4th.

    Plenty of time to play when I am supposed to stay put and not run around till my stitches come out this Friday.
    Blessing, Mary
