Some Pretty and Some Real Life

some pretty

from

my

Instagram account

Realizing that I've been missing

in blogland

I decided to share some real life

On September 22nd I was admitted to the emergency room

with severe pain lower right abdomen

I was transferred to another hospital

that specialized in ovarian cancer

After major surgery

and

a longer hospital stay than I could have ever imagined

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer

Those words took my breath away

There were weeks that I had no idea

what stage cancer I had

then

finally

I was sitting in my doctor's office

when she gave us the good news

Stage 1A Ovarian Cancer

Only 3 chemo treatments

and

then, she said, 

I could get on with my life

We both cried, Doug & I

happy tears of joy

Now, chemo is no party, let me tell you

BUT

all in all

tomorrow is my last chemo

so

I am a happy gal indeed

My online shop will re-open up January 1st

What better way to start the new year

cancer free

Never in a million years

would I ever imagine

I would be battling the C word

Always the healthy one, minor this & that

Faith, family & friends

pulled me through this

To all of you that knew,

thank you for your well wishes

and prayers

Love to all

LET's find a cure, can we?

Creating Jewelry Pieces

Sooooo.....I pulled out all of my jewelry supplies last week

vintage rhinestone bracelets

oval pendants & antique holy card images

I had not created jewelry in a very long time

it is a very time consuming craft

and 

I find it so hard to photograph glass pieces

I created more through the weekend

I was on a mission

It felt good to use 

supplies that have been stored

 away for years!

If you like bits & bobs

or

if you create or collect

then

maybe you will find something

in my shop

that calls your name!

Thanks for stopping by today!
