Hangin' with my Gnomies

I haven't blogged in so long. I was away on a family trip in August...then 2 days after I got home I ended up with tendonitis in my right shoulder. I was supposed to be helping my daughter pack up for University...instead  I was literally crying and gagging with nausea from the pain. I thought it will be 10 days when we leave to drive my daughter to school...surely it will be better. It wasn't. The pain is now pretty much gone...unless I try to use it. The mobility is still limited...it will be 3 weeks on Saturday. This is the first day in my craft room. I actually made a card. I bought the Cricut cart Freshly Picked...just for the gnomes. Too cute. Then I saw this stamp and I bought the set just so I could use my gnomes...I'm crazy...right?

Family trip 2011

I just returned from an awesome trip to Florida.Nothing like butterbeer in Hogsmeade...sweat running down your back...wand purchases from Olivanders and lunch at the Three Broomsticks. We had a blast. I also visited Disney...therefore I have copious amounts of pics to print and organize...and eventually scrap  :)...Yippee!!! Lee-Ann :)
ps...if you go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter...do try the butterbeer(yum)...I'd skip the Pumpkin Fizz(gag!)
