a set back


So we have had a bit of a set back, I think that is what you would call it...oh well, that's what I am going to call it :p! Our son E*, has been on his meds for about 2 months now which is SUPER :)....however about 3 weeks ago I started to see changes in him. By changes I mean him starting to slip back slowly into his own little world again, meltdowns are coming back, he is getting more irritable, he is stimming again and he is also not able to tell you as often what is bothering him. Not too sure what is going on there, his med dosage hasn't changed or anything...but luckily he has an appointment to see "dr. flip flop" in the morning. It is like we take two steps forward, to only take one to two back...

Will keep you posted!

Browsing...


So about a month ago, I started to look at the line art on the site called Deviant Art and I came across this girl art work ( her Deviant name is Peach-chelle) that I REALLY liked. I then thought that I could use some of her images on my cards, so I sent her an e-mail telling her how much I LOVE her images and that she needs to make more. I also explained that I make my own handmade greeting cards, and would love to use her images...well, to make a long story short she was thrilled and I made her day.

So tonight I thought I had better get going on some of the cards, to show her what I have done or can do with some of her images... and she also told me she will start to draw more images :D!

Do NOT see this movie


Last night my dh and I decided to rent a movie, something we haven't done in awhile and so I went out to see what I could find. Well, I ended up getting this movie (which I thought would be really good since Dakota Fanning) called "Push". I do NOT recommend this movie, it was slow...a little hard to follow but in the end it just wasn't good....

New LOOK

Well, dunno what it was about today that I decided that I wanted to change up my blog a bit...so I set to work to :


1) Figure out if I could make my own blogger template using Photoshop Elements 5.0...NOPE no luck there

2) Try to make my own banner, check :D...very happy with how it turned out :D!

3) Try to find a template online that I could use, NOPE nothing worked or made me get excited about the look of my blog

4) find some blog "Skins" to use, NOPE didn't find anything there either.

5) try to find blogger backgrounds I could use, HURRAY found a few :)!


So here is what I came up with...let me know what you think??
