Well I want to thank EVERYONE for your kind thought’s regarding my PUK-ily (aka Family). Seems like this awful thing is hitting MOST of us. Gosh! Its awful.
Noah and Amber have recovered. Still leery about eatting FOOD, but CANDY is appetizing! HMMM. very interesting! LOL!
ย Alexa came home bright and early. Her father was “exhausted” being up all night. Keep in mind, this is the FIRST time he has ever had to be in charge, and care forย her while she was sick, and there was NO NURSE or Lauren to bail him out. I didn’t sleep well, and kept waiting for the phone to ring. It was good for him to see how HARD being a PARENT really is. Yes, that is said in a bitter tone. I’m sure many of you can relate to it too.
She vomited once then headed to bed. She has been there ever since. She got up for a bath, a few sips of soup, her favorite OJ, and strawberry sorbet, then back to bed. She looks good though-no fever so I’m not worried.
We are due for about 6-8 inches of snow tonight, so I really pray Alexa doesn’t get a fever. Then I would have to risk driving in that to get her to the ER and exposed to Lord knows what virus we HAVEN”t got yet.
PLUS Jason has a endoscopy scheduled for tomorrow. Pray that goes well. We are thinking and hoping he just has an ulcer. He is entitled. Its been a stressful year and half. Thank goodness I have stamping to relieve my stress. I am enrolling him in Karate for part of his Christmas present ๐ Maybe that will help?
I am feeling better. Losing my VOICE. Oh no!!! You see how I type-image how much I talk. I cannot lose my voice! LOL! That would be terrible (depending on who you ask! LOL!)
OK Now for the post.
I haven’t reallyย stamped since Wednesday! Insert very SAD face. But will share this cute thing I whipped up in between. My mojo is saying NO! NO! LOL! Since I’m still not 100%, but I hope it finds you in good spirits.
You know how much I love lil penguins right? Well I really love having some penguin images that are so NOT just for WINTER. This is the Little Penguins set, that just got released. How CUTE is he? Seriously!
I LOVE this set-really! I plan on doing more when everyone is better. I have SO much to show you over the next few weeks its INSANE. Keep reading.
I got this yummy paper called Birthday Boy from Doodlebugย ( Christine if you read this you NEED to order from them!), a few months ago, and just feel in LOVE with it. OBVIOUSLY it heavily inspired my card. I have the matching ribbon, and stickers (see the hat). The sentiment is by SU! and is called Stem Sayings.
I used my SU! Scallop punch and my color spritzer as well.
So I hope you love him as much as I do.
Stay tuned cause MFT is having a release this week! I also have my altered cigar box by Papertrey Ink, and a stationary set I made with my OWN holder ๐ You know you aren’t going to want to miss that right?
AND…………. yes, there IS more! LOL! But I guess you will just have to pop on back.
Till tomorrow.

Ok, I had an endoscopy about 6 years ago and WOKE UP during it!!!!!!! Then they kept doing it anyway, even though they knew I was awake. They got a letter!
I hope it’s just stress, I was so stressed out everyone thought it was an ulcer, turned out no, just making myself sick with worry. So I’ll pray that it’s the same for Jason and that he can RELAX!
Karate sounds like tons of fun, I know Sean and his best buddy (his other half) LOVED taking it in college. What a fun gift!
Get better, and I cant wait to see your “Lauren” box!
Will be sending good vibes for Jason tomorrow that all goes well and he gets some answers. Hope everyone is feeling better and you get a better night’s sleep knowing the phone isn’t going to ring.
Love your little penquin, especially the colors. Very happy and festive – who says your mojo isn’t up to par?
I loved your post. I absolutely love hearing about your family. It is the stalker in me. LOL! I will be sending good thoughts for Jason. I am sure it will be fine. I have a good feeling. Love the penguin…he is so adorable. Glad the pukey crew is feeling better too.
Hey Lauren…I *adore* your penguins…they are just so sweet and cute. This one is totally precious and such a lovely card.
Sorry to hear about all the illness in your fam. Happy to hear your almost all-better. Hugs and Prayers for all and lifting up Jason for tomorrow. Oh and girl I SO hear ya about the Dad parenting…my ex-dh has *never* had to deal with our son when he sick or *any* of the many adventures of an ADHD child…and lemme tell ya the latter outweighs all else so I declare that man pretty blessed, by far. Sometimes too blessed for my own liking. I feel for ya…so glad to see a Daddy dealing with it though.
It’s great to read all about you and your family…keep eating the candy so you can talk again! lol
Awwww…such a cute card! I luv these penguins. I gave in last night and ordered ALL of these cute critters. I’ll be praying for Jason tomorrow that everything goes well & for a speedy recovery, as well as your entire family. :0)!!!
Love your card – and you managed that with the flu? You amaze me!
Im so surprised and encourage how you find time despite all this !
Prayers with you
OMGosh, this is adorable!!! What a great idea, I love the stamped background insert…how cute! I needed some inspiration for some Birthday cards, and this is it! THANK YOU!!! ๐
Glad Alexa survived being at her dads. I know how you feel and I have a healthy child. It must be nice to be a parent only on holidays. When my son (then not even three yet) broke his leg on a Tuesday and was put in a hip spica cast and I refused to let him go to his father’s that weekend he just couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t let him go. They just don’t get it! You are an amazing woman! I wish I had half your energy not to mention creativity! Oh and at least you can get your husband to go to the doctors!
Lauren, praying Alexa doesn’t get any sicker. Too bad her “father” had to be a parent. Good for you not letting him off the hook. Cute card though. I don’t think your mojo is gone, just making you get some rest my friend.
