H is for Health and Happiness

This was given to me and many others by Mrs. Nesbitt recently.
It came at a very important time. I found out that I do have sleep apnea and will have another sleep test for it, then I will get a machine, CPAP, to sleep with.
Then my husbands Uncle had his kidneys fail and the doctors discovered he had cancer in the pancreas, lungs and esophogus. He died yesterday morning at 7:30 am. my husband and daughter hopped in the car and headed for California and pulled in his Aunt and Uncles driveway at 8 am, just missing seeing him by half an hour.
Anyway, even though I don't feel too great today, my post is for health and happiness...
Be well everyone.

G is for...

Geoduck

Grapes, they're beautiful and yummy.(internet picture)
I'm so allergic to grapes they swell my face up till my eyes shut.
No wine for me.

Glitter glue, a Glitter Sister necessity.

Geodes are fascinating.

Geode.

Enjoy your Wednesday.

Sleep study

OOHH! I just got a call and was cleared for a sleep study. It's tomorrow night...yippie skippie!
No nappin' tomorrow!

Lacy box makin'

This is the lid

I cut some pieces from the lace I received and painted them with H20's. then I painted, papered, glued and made a box for Joan the seamstress. She did after all give me something wonderful.
I hope she likes the box. :)

This is a side view

This is where I started...

ideas...hmmm...nah...hmmm, however... not bad

I have ideas for more projects...even a head piece for the Glitter Sister Gathering...
I would LOVE and appreciate any suggestions on what else to make.
Bye for now. Tomorrow is ABC Wednesday's G post. fun.

Lace-a-licious

I was given this bag of lace from a woman who used to be a seamstress and worked on wedding dresses. She was going to throw this out...instead, she gave it to me.
I'm excited to have so much lace and material with beads and sequins!

Meme fun

Okay, over at Mrs. Nesbitt's place she offered up a middle name meme.

• The first rule is fixed ...for each letter of your middle name, list a fact or statement about yourself or your life. So the longer your middle name, the more facts we'll have about you. If you don't have a middle name, make one up.
• Second rule is anything you want, so mine will be to have you stand up and spin around twice when you're done.
  

Here goes...
ALICE
A- Agoraphobic...
that's me and my biggest struggle in life. I have gotten so much better over the years. I was in my late twenties the first time I bought something alone in a store without having an anxiety attack. Once when I was 24, I was buying diapers and my coupon had expired, then instead of just paying without a coupon, which was no big deal, I started to black out and the manager was called...that was horrible.
L- Lifelong learner...
I, as many I know, will continue to learn all that I can for as long as I am here on this planet.
I- Imagination...
I have such a strong and vivid imagination and I always have. It's great.
C- California...
I was born and raised in central California, however the Great Northwest is my home now...it's beautiful.
E- Early Childhood Education...
I am one class away from my ECE degree. It's a specialized AA degree. I used to be a Pre-school teacher and then I was a Program Coordinator for a large childcare center for three years. Little ones can wear me out!

F is for...

Fierce firefighter

Ford

Fawn

Feline friend

Flax seed

Fake flowers

Foot at the frog pond

relaxing

The evening is upon us and all are getting tired.
Have a wonderful sleep...sweet dreams.

No sleepy

My insurance company doesn't want to cover a sleep test for me, so it was canceled. Oh well, I'm not surprised...it seemed too good to be true!
On a happier note, I am so close to finishing my mermaid for the mermaid swap I joined and I'm happy about her.
Have a great day.
