Playing Catch-Up!


I finally took the time to finish Linda's banner! She (Meadowbrook Cabin Primitives) won a personalized banner, from a drawing I had on my blog a couple of months ago. Shame on me for taking so long. One reason it took so long...is I bought a new mouse (laser) and well, it was flying. I turned it down and then it still jumped around....I set my mind to it and said I had to finish it. So, here it is. I just sent it to Linda a bit ago and she does not even have it on her blog yet. I hope she likes it. I wanted to keep it simple, with clean lines (not busy), for easy reading.

I slept like a baby last nigth....I took a nice hot shower, rubbed my wrists and forearms down with Icy Hot and put my brace on my left hand....and boy oh boy, it feels so much better today. I hope it continues to feel better throughout the day.

My dollie is coming along very nicely. She is so sweet....full of vintage detail. Today, we received our BONUS taxes today...so nice! Now we can pay some bills :) That is a nice bonus, very Thankful! Today is off to a GOOD start. I hope you all have a great day...another quiet day for me, which is just the way I like it. I will just be straightening up around the house and working on my dollie, PERFECT! Toodles, ~Tonya

Oh Tonya, that banner is so neat. I like her doll on it. Cute.

I am glad to hear you feel better today. Unfortunately, I don't get that tax bonus...cuz I am a late filer! ;( Oh well.

Have fun today and have a lovely weekend. Happy Mom's day!

Hugs, Jenny

Hey Tonya,
I have a lot of problems with my fingers, hangs, all my joints from being a court reporter for so many years. I got one of those hot wax things. They're not very expensive, but it REALLY takes the pain away. And if you put the gloves on that they include after you dip your hands in the wax and then let them sit for a while, it works even better. Just thought I'd share that with you. I know what it's like to have aching arms and hands, etc.
Love, love, love the banner!!!!

It's been a long day... hmmm... let me rephrase that prior statement I made.. the fairy doll on the goose is from one of Tonya's patterns.
Love the new pattern of Helga the witchy poo...

Thank you to all you gals that like that banner, so nice of you to stop by.


Jenny,

I am sorry that you do not get the bonus...I am shocked we did. There are so many stipulations to it, that I thought with our luck...we would not.

You have a great weekend as well. Have fun camera shopping.

Hugs,
~Tonya

Hi Carol,

I have never heard of that. I will have to see if I can find a place around here that does. It is no fun to have hands, wrists and forearms that hurt :(

Thanks for the information.
Have a great weekend.

Oh Linda, I am so HAPPY that you like the banner. You are MOST WELCOME.

If you need help putting it on your blog or changing the backgrounds, I would be happy to help you.

Thank you so much for your patience Linda. Sorry I was so slow with your banner.

Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
~Tonya
