my oldest son's mask for Halloween

My son's school asks us as parents to help our children make masks for the kids, so they won't wear costumes but have a mask contest/parade at school. So here is what my oldest wanted us to make him, and my middle guy was home sick...he didn't get to go to school to enjoy the fun.

Get Sketchy sketch #12

Thought I would do this sketch, here is what I came up with :)! I made this first thing this morning, as I was waiting for my Mom to come out to help me out today.







We took the wrap/gauze off my knee, oh boy I wasn't expecting to find what I did. There were two big incisions, then there were 3 other little one's around the larger one's. Am thinking that sure my surgeon was a *HOTTIE* but he needs to work on his stitching, because it isn't as nice a job as one would expect. Fraken knee is what I call my knee, just in time for Halloween...don't worry I am not going to show you.

surgery went well

For those of you who didn't know, yesterday morning I had knee surgery on my left knee...basically it is genetics and sports combo issue but something I have to live with for the rest of my life. I have Osteo Arthritis, am referred to the pain clinic to help me work with/manage the pain and the surgery was a temporary fix but would love if it lasts longer. The surgeon did a re-lateral release, as the guy who did it before did it wrong or it healed wrong or both :( plus they also looked around my joint line and cleaned out the back of my knee cap again. This is my third surgery!

My surgery went really well, can actually put weight on it which I couldn't do the first 2 surgeries and the good news is my pain in my hip I was getting because of my knee is now gone too :)! I will be laid up for a bit, but am thinking I will be up and at em again soon :D...this morning I woke up with a sore throat but that is because of the breathing tube they put in during the surgery.

Will keep you posted on my recovery, and thank you for those of you who did know about my surgery and kept me in your thoughts...means a lot :)! Today I will be crafty, get tons of things made and posted for you all...at least my hands still work :p!

Mercy's Tuesdays Sketch Challenge #44 and the There She Goes card challenge

Saw these two sketch challenges this morning, and I wanted to try my hand at these challenges. Loved doing the MTSC44 challenge, it was fun and it wasn't a card I had done yet either :)! I also wanted to participate in the There She Goes card challenge, and thought I could create one card for both challenges.








So here is what I came up with for both of these challenges :)! This card is easy to do, and can be quite easily mass produced in very little time, and was fun to do :).
