Hello everyone! I have been very behind in posting, but not without reason. Last Sunday, while I was training for my ocean swim in the ocean, I had a kidney stone attack and have been passing them all week. If anyone has ever had kidney stones, you will know it has been a challenging week and to come down with passing one while swimming 1/4 mile off shore, the shark risk was no longer a worry. And I am not kidding about the fact there was a true shark worry since there has been several sightings of hammer heads and great whites off the local coast thanks to a random colony of 300+ seals that took up residency on the “world’s safest beaches” of Carpinteria and Summerland. I sadly admit I had to be pulled in by a support kayaker; not my most shinning moment.
So here I am finally getting back into the craft room, even though I am still not finished passing my stones to make a project for the I Feel the Love Project of making a Halloween card for the kids at Casa Pacifica. As I mentioned in an earlier post this cause hits close to home and is close to my heart. You still have time to participate in this awesome cause! Deadline to link up is September 30th!
Thanks for sharing a piece of “swimmin’ with the sharks” pie with me!

This is terrific, I love the little scend you created and the embossed moon!!!
This is really cute! I would love to have this displayed on a table for Halloween! I love the 3 layers on the haunted house and especially the street lamp with the Happy Boo Day sign! All the details are perfect! Sorry to hear you had kidney stones! I hope you are feeling better! I’ve never had kidney stones but I’ve heard from family whose had them that it’s awful! Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve stopped by (life got in the way on this end 🙂 ). But I’m having fun catching up on your lovely creations! ~Vanessa
