Banner giveaway at Isabellascloset


Mary at Isabellascloset is having another giveaway and this one is a beautiful Valentine Banner. Stop by and leave a comment to enter.
Sorry I have been absent, but I still won't know anything about my MRI until Thursday. The pain has been unbearable, so I've been spending much of my time in bed with a heating pad under the warmth of my electric blanket. Not sure when my doctor is going to put the pain pump in, but will find that out also.

Al has been helping put the decorations away and from the looks of things, it may take until February. Not sure my back can handle this anymore, so only the big things will come out next year and the little things will stay packed away. We are considering getting a 9ft tree and getting rid of some of the others. The smaller trees are easy to handle, but all the 6's are just too much, so I'll keep my gingerbread tree and snowman tree, because they stay decorated and covered.
I have been sitting in the bed and making candy bouquets. This passed Sunday, the benefit raised over $3,700. It was a very long day and I called Al before I left to get my injections ready. I didn't win a cake but I won some nice prizes and that night I won $125 and picked up orders for Valentine bouquets.
Well I am going back to packing boxes for Al to put away. I hope those in the "cold" stay warm. Have a great day and savour each new day. Love and Hugs, Pat

Pat, Thanks for visiting! I was wondering, I read back through alot of your posts and was wondering do you have bad back problems? You can email me through my site. If you don't want to talk I understand. And I still have a room with alot of Christmas out, but it'll get put away aomeday! Take care,Lori

Gosh Pat. Take it easy and don't burn yourself on that heating pad either. I've heard people do that.
Poor Al.....I can't imagine my husband putting up all the Christmas stuff! HA! Mine would HATE that. Bad enough he has to haul it all out then haul it all back up in the attic. Give him my thanks for doing that.
What are you candy bouquets??
That sounds fun...and yummy.
Hope you get your pain pump soon.
Believe me......I understand pain and it is a DRAG!
Hang in there Pat. Keep us posted as to when they will do surgery for you.
Be blessed,
Joyce

Pat, 45* sounds like heaven right about now. Either I am not feeling witchy enough, or my broom is broken. I tried getting on it last night to dash off for a visit to you, but alas, it didn't work. ;)
