I'm about to get long winded, so grab a hot drink and pull up a chair ;)

First, I will tell you about the font's that I used in the header (because I really don't know where to start). There's only the one that's really a font that I used and that was for the "is" - that's AL Vertigris (sp). The "Beautiful" is word art that came in a SP kit (I believe, from a while back) and the tags.....I will have to look up who made those (sorry, don't know right of hand).

I went in for my appointment to the University of Michigan on the 20th (K and when I made the appointment is was to get the surgery going and all, because the last time I talked to the Dr he said that the tumor would need to be removed) So I met with these 3 Dr's and we talked and they had told me that the surgery wouldn't make my life any better {at this time}, but could certainly make things a lot worse - they didn't want to go up there poking around and that I've prolly had this thing in my brain for the last 20 some years (WHAT??????). Well needless to say I was quite dumbfounded - I was sooooo hoping that when I had the tumor removed that it would make my quality of life better, well they didn't think it would (I think that I should have been the judge of that)! It just makes me wonder why all the sudden they don't want to take it out (as we had previously discussed}.....I guess I need to call and speak to them (because of course I didn't think to ask when I was there). So for now, I'm just living with it and will have to go in for another MRI in the next year and then go back to them with the films.

K- now that I got the boring stuff out of the way.......... WAKE UP LOL! I have some exciting news. Sean had his first day of preschool today, we were both so very excited. He was excited about doing all the fun stuff at school and going out to the playground - I was excited about him getting out into the social world and maybe meeting some new friends, learning new things, bringing me home those cute little projects to hang on the fridge.....plus I LOVE doing up those lil goodie bags for the holidays ;) We had to go in early to hand in some paper work and just hung out in the hallway for a bit (I think this helped my nerves for our parting). I know the day I took him in and signed him up, we went into his class and while talking to his teacher I started to get all teary eyed and thought that the first day of school would be so hard. Well Sean and I talked about the first day of school and I had asked him what I was going to do all day while he was gone - I told him that I would miss him and he told me that he would put kisses in my pockets just in case (I give him kisses to put in his pockets when he goes to my moms - in case he misses me). So we went into class, got his name tag and then I had asked him if he was going to be okay......and he said yes (in a very confident voice) and walked away with the teacher. I started to get a lil sappy at that point but thought oh no buddy, you're not walking away from me without a kiss LOL, so I walked over to him, told him that I loved him, gave him a kiss and walked out the door (he forgot to fill my pockets with kisses - lil stinker). But he had a really good first day at school. He made a friend - a GIRL friend, her name is Jolie and he told her that she could not kiss him (LOL - I told him that it was okay to have girl friends, but they just couldn't kiss him, only mommy could).

I found an awesome lil shoppe today for kids clothes www.Crazy8.com (they are yet another division of Gymboree.....not as if Gymboree and Janie and Jack weren't enough). They have some really cute things....that we just had to have! Isn't this sweater just the cutest?

and we got these:

and this......how cute!!


If you're looking for some really cute ornaments for your tree or for family or even clients, you have to check out www.littlewhimsy.com I got some of these during one of Cariann's Group Buys on ILP and they are soooo awesome. Here are some photos that she took of my tiles (and really they are way better in person)


I did use Jessica D's vintage frame for this and the background is one of my creations - but I love the way they turned out. I just redid my family room in black and cream (I will have to post some photos once I get it all pulled together) and plan on hanging these on my tree. I also had some done with the girls photos and one for A's boyfriends mom - I got a photo of her kissing Taylor on the cheek when we did the homecoming photos and had that photo put on one for her for Christmas.

I also have a few photos to share.......bout time I put the new camera to use hu ;)







Well, I hope that I didn't bore you to much ;) I know I'm tired now LOL (seriously - it's been such a long day) I'm headed off to bed~ Night!!

Know of anyone who could build me a site......I'm looking for someone!!!

Do you know of anyone? I would need it to be able to host all my stuff and be able to use zen cart (I think that's what it is). I have no clue about HTML and all that good stuff - It's Greek to me LOL and I need some major help.
If you have anyone that you think could do this, Please email me at tinaslilcreations@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Tina

Trick R Treat :)

I hope that everyone had a spooktacular Halloween!!!
I ended up with a lil bug, made me feel a lil poopy. Ashlee took Sean trick r treating for me (what a lil sweetie - thanks Ash)!!!
Sean had a wonderful time with his big sis. I sat at home and passed out the lil treat bags Sean and I put together a few weeks ago along with Hi-C juice boxes!
It was a lot of fun for me...I love seeing little ones all dressed up and excited about Halloween, and when they say trick r treat.....it's just so stink'n cute!!!

I got the results back from my last MRI and NOTHING has changed, but I didn't really expect that it would with only a 10% chance.....but there was always that hope!
I am going back to the university of Mi on the 20th for my preop and all that good stuff. I'm still not quite sure when the procedure will take place, but will keep you all updated!!!



This is one of my Favs.


Some goodies from the Great Pumpkin ;)

Nope, my fingers are not broken ;)

If that were the case, I'd be in some big trouble now wouldn't I (he he he ;)
There have been so many days I had thought about posting, just never got around to doing do so and then there have been days I had thought about just shutting it down -but don't know if I could ever really do that KWIM? I don't know that anyone really comes here anymore, so if I'm talking to myself (and really that's nothing new LOL) that's okay!
Let's see, it's been almost a month since my last post.....what's new in my world?
Well first thing.....I went in Sarurday for my last MRI (for a while anyway - THANK GOD)!!! I won't know anything prolly till the end of the week - I don't think anything has changed with the tumor, but only time will tell. I'm waiting to hear back about my pre-op date, things are starting to feel so real again. There are days that I forget that I even have a tumor and then there are the days that the tumor won't let me forget it's there. Just praying that once surgery is all said and done that my qualit of life is TONS better!!!

I got the 5D.
Nicole went to her homecoming,
Ashlee went to her homecoming,
We are in the works of redoing our bathroom (replacing the bathtub and all),
Sean got a new loft bed that's really cool - I'll have to take a photo and post it,
I got a dozen red roses from J on sweetest day and 3 pink from Ashlee - also got a lil gift from Mike Fulton (of TriCoast Photography) that very same day, he is one AMAZING photographer WOW, he's a sweet guy too!!!
I got highlights for the first time (and nope no photos of that - no way)!!!
Took Sean along with my SIL Michelle and lil Miah to ChuckECheest - that was a blast.
I have been super busy with my lil creations as well - working on some new baby templates now ;)
That's about it....so onto a few photos. I haven't taken to many the past month, you'd think with getting a new camera that I'd be a shooting mad woman.....but I'm kinda in a funk, so these are not the greatest...but they are what they are ;)


Ashlee and Taylor} Homecoming


Nicole all dolled up for homecoming}

and just a few of Sean from the other day}





That's all for now:)
I've got a little voice inside my head telling me it's time to go to bed!
Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs

Resignation :)

To Whom It May Concern

Herewith I Officially Resign As An Adult. I Have Decided To Take On The Responsibilities Of An Eight Year Old Again. I Want To Go To Mcdonald's And Think It's A Four Star Restaurant. I Want To Sail Stick Boats On A Muddy Puddle After The Rain. I Want To Play Touch.

I Want To Go Back To A Time When Smarties Were More Valuable Than Money Because You Could Eat Them. I Want To Lie Under A Huge Shady Tree With My Mates On A Hot Summer Day And Dream While Chewing On A Blade Of Grass.

I Want To Return To A Time When Life Was Simple And Knowledge Was Limited To Colours, Multiplication Tables And Old Mac Donald Had A Farm. It Didn't Matter That There Were Things You Didn't Know. So What! All You Knew Was How To Be Happy Because You Were Blissfully Unaware Of Things That Would Upset You Or Get You Worrying - Like Zits.

I Want To Believe Again That Life Is Good And Fair And Everyone Is Honest And Genuine. I Want To Believe Anything Is Possible.

I Want To Live Simply Again, I Don't Want To Have To Deal With Computer Crashes, Mountains Of Paperwork, Depressing News, More Days In The Month Than The Total In My Bank Account, Doctors' Bills, Gossip, Illness And The Loss Of Loved Ones.

I Want To Believe Again In The Power Of A Smile, Hugs, A Friendly Word, The Truth As It Was In The Beginning. Justice, Peace, Dreams, Imagination, People Without Their Masks And Questionable Motives. I Want To Bake Mudcakes.

So Here Are My "chequebook", My Car Keys, My Credit Cards And Everything Else That Represents "grown-up". Herewith I Officially Resign From Adulthood. If You'd Like To Discuss This Issue Or Whatever Else, You'll Have To Chase Me Because ..........."touch! You Ca-a-a-n't Catch Me!"

(Thanks Natasha for sharing this)!!!!!

FYI......I'm giving away 5 sets of my new templates...
