Etsy Treasuries I'm In

Yay, I've been back selling on Etsy for over a week now and have been included in two Etsy Treasuries.  The first one is The Frosty Blues of December, which showcased my Blue Millefiori Chip Bead Bangle Bracelet. The second one happened today and it is Orange Dreams., which showcased my Orange Millefiori Chip Bead Bangle Bracelet. They are both brilliant and beautiful treasuries and you definitely should go check them out.

I'm Dream of a White Christmas! Really?

Moving to Oklahoma turned out to be not such a hot idea, but what are you going to do?  The husband now has a job that pays well for this area and so far he likes it.  We also, finally, got medical insurance.

My point is this; Oklahoma is a humid place and I mean humid.  So, the winters are not just cold but they are wet and bone-chilling-cold.  I miss Colorado winter snow and I miss Colorado.  I joined this swap over at ATCs for All titled "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" and these are the cards I came up with:

The last won is done using Zentangle, but I was kind of sad that I blended in the "w" with the girl.  My favorite is the snow man in the field next to the tree!

Day 44 - The Mommy Dream

 

This card was done originally for the "Oh, Mom..." Swap that I participated in.  It says "I Dream of Being a Mommy..."

This is Day 44's ATCs that I submitted in the 2010 Project ATC 365.

Day 23 - I Had A Dream ATC

I have been struggling with a nauseating migraine and really wanted to go to bed. However, I had a scare with my mom as I was talking with her on the phone and she passed out. I had to think fast since we are like 15 hours away from each other, so I called the operator and had her call 911 where my mom lives. Can you believe we had to sit on hold due to "high call volumes"? Ugh! The operator was really nice and when we finally got through the 911 dispatcher was really nice as well.

My mom was taken to the hospital where they did an EKG, CAT Scan, and X-Rays. She hit the wall with her head, so she has a concussion and she has a large hematoma on her arm. I am so glad she is ok and I am really thankful that I happen to be on the phone with her when she did this. I love my mom and absolutely hate being so far away.
