In an effort to help raise money to offset the medical bills that Carla’s family will be enduring while she is in the hospital and after, Oscraps has set up a special section of products created by various designers! So please go check out the Friends & Family section of the store and also be sure to pick up some of Carla’s designs as well! Both will help raise money!
Here are two products I have put up in the Oscraps store…. 100% of the proceeds will go to Carla and her family!
This brag book was designed by myself and some of my amazing CT members!
(sorry for the typo on the preview…there are actually 21 pages included!!!!)

Friday morning, Carla Gibson, an Oscraps designer, suffered a brain aneurisym. Carla underwent surgery Saturday morning to stop the bleeding and install coils. The doctors are keeping her sedated for the most part, but Carla was able to tell her family she loved them and hear those words from them in return, on Sunday. Each day is a new day and she is and will continue to experience ups and downs in the recovery process. There is no official prognosis at this time.
There are two areas where you can share your thoughts, prayers, well wishes, layouts, cards, etc.
Carla Gibson :: Chat Forum
Carla Gibson :: Well Wishes Gallery
Carla, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers………wishing you a speedy recovery sweetie!!!!

If you’re the prayin’ kind…..Please add my son Josh to your prayer list if you have time.
For those of you who don’t already know…he was diagnosed on his 3rd bday with Ulcerative Colitis, which is an Inflatory Bowel Disease, typically found it adults 35+.
We’ve had it undercontrol for about 15 mo. w/ daily meds, after fighting it for about 6 months from his dx, but now it looks like things are flaring up again! 
So today we’ll be off for a battery of blood work and other “studies”….if they can’t get it undercontrol quickly we might be admitted back into Children’s Hospital. *sigh*Â
So please say a little prayer….i know you don’t know him, but he’s one of those people who you would fall in love with immediately…he has a loving, infections personality that EVERYONE loves! 
Have a wonderful weekend!

OMG….
Have you ever gotten a phone call from your child’s school?
I dropped the boys off at Preschool, took Jessica foodshopping…came home to find a message on the voicemail….
“It’s not an emergency….”
Well phew…that’s good, but now i’m thinking, “What did JUSTIN do?!?!?!?” Guess what he did….
He LEFT school!
LEFT!
SCHOOL!
He decided he would go right out to the playground to play in the rice table w/o telling anyone…..can you imagine!??!?!
I’m off to pick them up in 10 minutes……I’m gonna stop and pick up a giant roll of duct tape for that child! hee hee
*sigh* why can’t he be easy going like Josh?!?!?!? That child marches to his own beat that’s for sure!!!!!!!

Thank you again for your continued support and hugs….I’ve received so many kind words and advice on grieving…. and heard lots of personal stories of loss… So i’m sending YOU ALL hugs too!
I don’t want to start your day off on a sad note, but i just had to share this photo…this is the front area of our neighborhood just after Kevin’s funeral….there were tons of flowers and the flag at half mast………today a week and a day after the service, it remains the same….. the flowers are soggy now, but the flag hanging low definately is appropriate………..
 
a heart is a hard thing to mend, isn’t it? Hug those you love tight and be sure to tell them NOW how much you love them because tomorrow comes too quickly!
I promise to post back later with some more uplifting news!
