Catching up

Hi there and Happy Girl's Day!!! I know it has been awhile since I last posted (Dec. 2012) and I have been trying to catch up with everything since we came back from CHA which was back in January. Anyways, to make a long story short, I ended up in the ER last week Monday and stayed in the hospital for 3 days. My husband and I went for our normal exercise (fast walking) and about a third of the way, my heart started to beat rapidly so I sat down to wait it out. Then we continued on and I had to sit down again. I don't even know how I made it back to the car but when we got to the Ward parking lot, I almost passed out and pretty much laid on the ground and told my husband that I needed to go to the ER. We went back home and he told me that he will take me to the doctor. Well, I couldn't even walk and so they put me in a wheel chair. I took an EKG and my doctor said that I needed to go to the ER right away! I had this heart monitor attached to my body for 3 days. They wouldn't let me take a bath or walk around the room. The doctor gave me meds to slow my heart down so that is what is helping me now. I still have to take more tests to find out what is wrong with me. 
Back in January, I taped the Joy of Crafting tv show with Joy. Here is a photo of the project that I made for the show.
I used Karen Burniston's pop 'n cuts base die and the square ornate frame magnetic die to make this card. The stamped bear is from Dandelion Designs called bear hugs.
Paper used is from Doodlebug Designs and Ben Franklin Crafts had the whole collection. I'm not sure what is left, but this is actually from the Valentine's collection but you can't really tell right?
The last photo is the front of the card. I used all the scraps to decorate the card.
Sorry I've been away for so long but I'm glad you stopped by and look forward to getting back into posting again.
Have a great week!!!

Oh heavens Cheryl, thank goodness Cliff was always by your side! What a scare that was! I hope you are feeling better and getting the needed rest...you are just too active and involved in so many things...you gotta slow down! You're the gassa-gsasa type so I understand, but your health is WAY more important! Take care and get back to 100%!

Warm hugs,
Cami
