Sensational Sunday Inspirations

Hi Stampers - 

I have been making slow but steady progress on getting orders shipped out and am almost caught up finally. I will be off work from my other job after Thursday this coming week for 3 weeks so I am hoping whatever is left to catch up I will be able to get it knocked out the first few days I am off. That is my plan :)

Grandma is still doing good and hanging in there. We did get some sad news about a friend of ours. She will be going in for surgery on her pituitary gland as they found a tumor on it. Not sure yet if it is cancerous or not so we will be praying for good news and that everything goes ok for her. 

Do you have any 4th of July plans this year? I FINALLY have the night off and then my husband has to work the overnight shift. Figures! Since I LOVE fireworks! So I plan on taking him a blizzard to his work and we will watch the fireworks from the top of the Power Plant where he works. I am scared of heights so it will be terrifying - LOL!

Sensational Sunday Inspirations + CANDY

Hi Stampers - 

I have been making slow but steady progress on getting orders shipped out. Grandma was able to come home a week ago Friday. This week has been full of Dr. Appts (she is having to get some platelet transfusions) she also had physical therapy twice. She is continuing to do well so far so that is great.

I should be very close to completely caught up with things by the end of the week :) I am so sorry that it is taking so long but I am going as quickly as I can! Thank you for the continued thoughts, prayers and patience with this situation with Grandma! It means the world to us!

Hi Stampers - 

I have to say a big thank you to Holly for jumping in and subbing for me the last few weeks as we have been getting Grandma settled into skilled care at the Nursing Home. She is hanging in there but is ready to go home already! We have our first meeting with her care nurse on Monday to see how she is doing with her physical therapy and adjusting to being there.

I also wanted to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes and for hanging in there with us during these rough times for our family. I am lucky to be switching to a day-shift position for the month of June and the I took the month of July off from my other job so that will help me get things back on track faster! It has been tough trying to be at the Nursing home to keep Grandma's spirits up and working night shifts and trying to work in sleep, the store, and everything. I was lucky to be able to get a co-worker to switch shifts with me for June so that will really help! My last night shift for the next 2 months was last night! I will be working as quickly as I can to get caught up with things so I appreciate all the support!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMS, GRANDMOMS AND SINGLE DADS PLAYING THE ROLE OF MOMS OUT THERE! I hope you have an amazing day filled with family, love and special memories!

We have a throw back project for you today as I have been taking care of my Grandma this week. She is continuing to struggle with confusion and weakness with her liver starting to fail. It has been a tough week but I am just taking each day as it comes and grateful for each one that I get to share with her.

This week's throwback is from Marcy & Shanna using one of my SUPER FAVORITE MOM images ...

Aren't these the CUTEST! This image is the Saturated Canary Ice Cream & Pickles! This is super fitting this week because I found out a few days ago my brother and his wife are expecting after trying for 5 years and they are due Christmas Day :D Super excited to be an Aunt again!

Now be sure to see what the other ladies have in store for you and be sure to leave all the ladies some love and you will be in the running for this month's $20 gift voucher!

I am sorry this is posting late this morning...I spent all day yesterday at the hospital with my Grandma. She keeps spiking fevers and had to be transported by ambulance yesterday morning. They ran a bunch of tests and could not find anything that would be causing the fever so she was discharged late last night. I am running on about 3 hours of sleep right now! It was a relief that they didn't find anything but frustrating as well because this has happened now for 4 weeks in a row where about once a week she spikes a fever and has to go in to be checked out. 

Before we get started with today's hop we need to announce our blog hop winner for April since it is the first Sunday of the month. The $20.00 Gift Voucher winner is from Dangina's Blog ... April 26th Week ... and the winner drawn by Mr. random is:
