Long boring Catchup

So...I have been MIA for a while now! Here is what I have been doing the last few months!

My mother and grandma gave me this new comforter and pillows for Chistmas and I have been dying to redo my room for ages now! I found these AWESOME lamps at TARGET and my SIL Amber ma

de the sweet dreams vinyl, she is so AMAZING at what she does! Visit her blog HERE, she is very very affordable!!!

I had tons of missed matched frames so I painted them all black and used Amber AGAIN to make me a super FABULOUS vinyl piece for underneath!

My SIL Savanah showed me how to make these diaper wipe

case cover's and I have been having fun looking at WONDERFUL fabric to make them! They are super simple and fun to give for gifts! Thanks Savanah! Your the best!

I am obsessed with this rock band fabric that I found, I am sorry to say that I hate the whole puppy dog and trains for boys, but I love rock N roll and SKULLS!!! I made my first blanket and am so very proud and addicted!

STOP reading here if you are not ready for the NOVEL part of the CATCHUP!

On to a more heavier note...my best friend Bonnie has had a rough month and I have been trying to be there for her and her family for ALL of it! 4 weeks ago she fell on ice at the DURANGO airport and broke her ankle and her leg ( she started a new job the week before, therefor she had no insurance and of course was terminated because she was unable to stand, therefor unable to do her job) She was also on her last semester of college! This could not have happened at a worse time for her! A week later she had surgery (totaling RIGHT now @ $25k) and 2 days later her WONDERFUL father had a mirror image stroke on BOTH sides of the brain! So not only was she trying to figure out what she was going to do with her life, like paying hospital bills, trying to finish school, find a job! But now her dad was trying to HOLD on to his!

Bonnie and her dad

I luckly was there with Bonnie when she got the call, so I was able to be there for her from the start! It has been a l -o-n-g journey and I know we STILL have an even longer journey ahead of us! Her dad has improved beyond doctors belief and we feel so very blessed! This expierenced has opened my eyes to A LOT of things that we take for granted...like our parents! I also have found how important it is to be happy and to live life doing things that make YOU happy!

I feel like I have taken my life for granted, just even the little things like having health insurance! I worked @ State Farm for SO long that I have every insurance under the moon, I am just thankful I can afford to have what I have! I hate feeling like I can't help Bonnie with her troubles, but ALL i can do is be there for her and help her look on the BRIGHTer side of things, even if I find it hard to see!
