Happy Thanksgiving

This album was made with chipboard I saved from packaging cut to 4X6. Paper and ribbon from $1 bin from Target and Jolees embellishment for the cover.

Thank you God for this face

Some LOs

So I'm on vacation and I'm hoping that I will finally get some LOs done, like Chris' pregnancy book.

Dominick Ray Sanchez Part 2

To say that yesterday was the BEST day of my life would be a lie. I have been blessed with many "BEST" days. But yesterday was the BEST day of a different kind. I have been told so many times about how special it is to be a grandmother. That it’s great and different. I get it now. He's yours but NOT yours. No pressure, no stress of getting it RIGHT or screwing his life up by doing or saying the wrong thing. No pressure and no stress of fucking up. Sorry, there just wasn't a better way of expressing that realization. I want to publicly thank GOD for my life. THANK YOU GOD! YOU are amazing. YOU continue to bless me daily and then you throw in a BONUS blessing like Dominick. THANK YOU! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. OK now for some details. She was scheduled for a C-section at 5:00 but due to many emergency c-sections she had in at 10:10pm. The poor girl was starving. We were comfortable in L&D in a very spacious room and I even got a little sewing done. A special thanks to all our visitors who came to share in our joy. Thankfully they also helped distract Chris from her hunger pains.

Check out my outfit. I was able to sit in during the surgery.

I will post more pictures soon

The cover is done and pages are in. I used the same technique as last year. I covered 6X9 cardboard with fabric that I used for Dominick's Christmas quilt. Can't wait to get started.

BTW no baby yet. There is some talk of a C-section. I will keep you posted.

Today

is Chris' due date but no baby. She's walking but nothing. She is scheduled to be induced November 23rd, her birthday. Please pray that Dominick comes before that. She's so cute.

Happy November and All Saints Day

Between catching up on sewing and crafting for $, I have not been motivated to do any for myself and family. I did manage to put together my grandson's first quilt but it's not finished. Of course my head is already on Dominick's December Daily f/k/a 31 Days of Christmas which I can't wait to start. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about see . His Christmas quilt is done but not finished. Anyone see a pattern here? Help me find my mojo. A prize to whoever does. LOL Anyway, as you can imagine with Dominick's arrival will come many visitors so be prepared for manyyyyyy pictures. Some of you may ask, where does she find the time to blog?; its my therapy. For those of you participating, so far we have Maritza - November 3rd @ 3p Chris - November 3rd @ 4a Chicky - November 5th @ 9p Mary - November 6th @ 5a Danny - November 7th @ Cookie - November 7th @ 2:40a Jamie - November 11th @ 12p Joan - November 12th @ 8:30p Of course if I win the prize will go to the next closest guesser. Hurry, Chris is still pregnant and the Yankees haven't won yet. I may need to rethink my date. I leave you with some pics of the week. Have a great week.
