Jonah's ABC Adventure!

Got this off a friend's blog... couldn't resist!

feeling charitable. :)

I love kids... Maybe that's why I became a pediatric nurse in the first place. It breaks my heart, though, to see them sick, in pain or suffering... It's a tough job, but I know it's what I've been meant to do in life...

So if you read my blog but never comment take the time and visit these 2 sites:

The first is the donation site for my friends' son who was born with a rare heart condition 9 years ago. After multiple surgeries and despite advice from doctors, he's a healthy boy to this day. :) Miracles do happen...

Bailey's Heart Walk

And don't stop your giving there! My pal Laurie has an enlightening story of her own... About her son who was diagnosed with a rare neurological syndrome a little over a year ago.
Take the time to visit her blog and check out their story... Their whole family is awesome... And in honor of them I'm setting up their donation badge on my blog until they reach their goals. :)

OMG...

I finished reading Harry Potter late last night and wow... just wow...

The release of the 7th book is so bittersweet for me: I wanted to know how it ended, but that's just it - it's the end. No more books. :(

Been trying to scrap like crazy but haven't had time lately... Have to get a couple of DT submissions in before the weekend starts even though the deadline is next Tuesday... I won't have time once I go back to work on Friday...

Aah.. work... now that's another story.

been a while...

Since my last post, I've been pretty busy with my days leading up to my return to work this Friday night... *sigh*

I was studying for my Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) course for a couple weeks and finally took the 2 day class this weekend. Yuck. 2 days full of class. It was fine though and it went by quickly...

Spent my time reading the new Harry Potter book... Still not finished so nobody spoil it for me! *lol* Hopefully I'll be done soon. It's so bittersweet. I can't believe it's the end of the series.

I scrapped a little - but just digital...

supplies:
patterned papers, arrow, sentiment : June Kit by Lauren Reid (ScrapArtist.com)

There was a bunch of cool challenges over at SIStv over the weekend but I didn't have time to scrap... The only one I got to participate in was the digi/hybrid challenge (see the Paradise LO)... and I was one of the winners! So exciting.

AND, for my K-Joi CT, I kind of help come up with the slogan so I won a little prize too.

All and all it's been a great week in the scrapping world. Hopefully I can keep the mojo going. :)

tagged...

So I got tagged by my new fabulous gal pal Anna. :)

Now I'm tagging:

Rinne
Kim
Laurie

Just slap this image in your blog - because well, I think you all ROCK. :)

we got a wii. :)

Didn't get a chance to post this the other day... But after 3 weeks of searching we finally got a Wii... Super fun.

Look, even Jonah's excited. :)

bummer:( ... but I did a digi LO. :)

So I've been applying to DTs for the past week and so far no luck... I did make it as a finalist at Scrappy Girl Designs and they had 5 spots out of the 7 finalists, I was one of the 2 that didn't make it. *sigh*

I don't think my work is all that bad, is it?

It's disappointing, but I have to realize that it's not meant to be... and there's a DT out there that I'll be a perfect fit for...

It's still a bummer getting rejected 3 times in one week.

So instead I drowned my sorrows in some digi for my CT work. :) Yay me. :)
