We've had some pretty severe thunder and lightening storms here in Central Oregon...so much so that a few times I actually jumped when the thunder sounded..it was SO loud!
We've got Seth back for the summer from college, so far, I think Griffin will arrive tomorrow (he's not too happy with Seth, he said he had to stay at school an extra day to clean, since Seth 'just left.' I had to remind him that Seth had to leave because he started work today for the Oregon Department of Forestry for his second summer. They are both in their twenties...but call me a sucker...I still like having my kiddos around :)
I've been so good this week...gone to the gym every day but MOnday (it was a hospital day)...I figured 30 minutes was better than nothing, right? Speaking of the hospital...there was another patient in the infusion room Monday who also gets IVIG....although her's is a little different, it has different antibodies in it to protect her organs (she is a liver transplant patient), and mine are antibodies for my immune system...but still, this made me sit up...she said she was going to to start a new regiment of shots of IVIG....I can't imagine how freeing that would be..not to have to go to the hospital twice a month for 8 hours!! I need to make an appt. with my neurologist to see if the shots are available for my form of IVIG! I'd be exstatic after going to the infusion room for 21 years!
I've really been using my Silhouette lately...making some fun things:

Both the tree and word background were cut from the Silhouette. I stitched around the edge and stitched the hearts together for a symbolic touch :)

The trees and title were cut with the Silhouette on this layout, I pop-dotted the second tree to give it dimension.
It's sure been nice using it...and I must say, their customer service is unsurpassed...they will bend over backwards to make sure you are happy with your product!
Have a great day :)
Oh my goodness, I didn't want a Silhouette until now! The images on the first layout are just plain amazing looking.

I just wanted to say I am glad you got your silhouette working I was in the store during spring break. I love the silhouette and some of your layouts are really cute. I have some pictures from Yosemite and the trees would totally work for my pages. Thanks, I hope to be in your area again soon.
