Where did the last two months go? and a Freebie!

I do believe I lost some time somewhere. Sure doesn't feel like two months went by without my posting anything here.

I started college online. My daughter told me she started, and I always wanted to finish college, so I said what the heck. I started 3 weeks ago. The first two weeks kind of kicked my butt. But part of it was that the first week I had two volleyball trips to drive and John needed to go to the doctor. So that left me with 4 days to do two classes worth of work. But I was able to catch up and get ahead a little. Oh, I am going to Axia Online which is a college under University of Phoenix. I am going for my AA in Medical Records. I may then continue on. We shall see.

Starting tomorrow, I will be putting up the daily downloads at ScrapHead for October. The theme is: NIGHTMARE AT SCRAPHEAD. Make sure you go get the daily freebie. Here is the preview and click here to go to ScrapHead.

And now for the Freebie.

This past month has been a birthday event at Stone Accents Studios. One of the challenges was to make a template. In return for making the template you get everyone else's templates as well as some from the designers. Here is the one I made.



And here is a layout I made using it.



Another thing they have going on is SAS-Y Designer Contest. This is the last week of it. I used the Paper Princess Kit by Charlie's Digiscraps from week 4 on my layout.

You can download it here.

Enjoy the week and the wonderful Autumn weather.
Until next time,
Tess

Back in GJ, Day 3 Download

This morning I awoke to John caterwauling again. He wakes me up to do the littlest things! "Honeybunch!.... Honeybunch! But this time it was different. Usually he adds on, "I need some Ice Water" or "I need to take my pills" or something else that he could probably do for himself, but I have spoiled him.
It was just "Honeybunch" "Honeybunch". So I got up and noticed he was not in his easy chair. Ok, maybe he went back to bed. He had awakened me before 6 to change his foley into a leg bag so he could get up. I obliged and went back to bed. (We don't sleep together any more because "MY" snoring keeps him awake!)
So I rounded the corner and was headed for the bathroom, when I saw him laying on the floor in the kitchen. He had made himself a cup of coffee and was going to take it to the table. He doesn't know what happened. He had passed out! So I sat him up and he passed out again!
OMG! I thought he died! He stopped breathing! His eyes opened and the iris' dilated! He was not there! I lay him back down and slapped him lightly and called his name, but there was no response! I started positioning him to do cpr when he came back and started breathing! I swear I looked into dead eyes. They reminded me of glass pony beads with the color inside. Those eyes are seared into my brain!
Of course I called 911 and the ambulance brought him to St. Mary's hospital. When the first responder arrived and I explained the above they said it was "Syncope" (Sink-o-pea) and that most people who see a person pass out and their eyes roll back in their head think they die. His eyes did not roll back! But thank the Lord, he did come back!
They have found three things so far! #1 He is severely anemic. They have now given him two units of blood! The second thing is he has a little bit of a urine infection! And #3 he does not have a blood clot!
They have admitted him and I will be here in the room with him tonight. I don't want to miss the DR. in the morning! They have said that they will keep him until they know why the anemia. They need to know if he is not making enough cells or if there is something somewhere that is using them all up.
Well, it is 12:50 am. So I need to get some rest. But first, here is the preview for Day 3's download and the link to go get it!

Daily Download, ABC's of Tonya

Today's download for ScrapHead has a beautiful paper! It is sooooo textured! Have a peek! It is by JaydensMama.
You can get it here. But only until Midnite MST. Then you can get day 2 which is below.





Day two is from ScrapShana. At midnite tonite I will enable the link to collect this part. You can get it here.Remember it is only good from Midnight for 24 hours (Mountain Time.)








I uploaded E and G today at SOTB. So now I can show you.

E is for Easter. The kids came to Gramma's house and colored easter eggs. Then they went out and had a scavenger hunt to find their special baskets. This happened in 2005.
The Kit is special to my heart. It is a collaboration of a bunch of designers. In order to purchase it you have to donate at least $20. Then they will send the links for it. The donation goes directly to Autism Speaks and the kit is called For the Love of McKayla. It is a HUGE kit. If you would like to know more about it then GO HERE.

F IS FOR FROG

One day Tonya and Marcus were outside playing and came running to me. "Gramma, look what we found." Of course it was a KODAK moment, except for me it is a CANON moment, lol. They are seldom found around here, but the frogs do show up occasionally. I do live in the high desert after all!

And the last one for today is G is for Gramma.
Tonya was born in Yakima, Washington. A couple of weeks after her date of birth, her parents brought her here to meet me and her great-grandparents. I so enjoyed my short time with her. They moved here a couple of months later, so Tonya and I spent a lot of time together for the next 5 years.
This layout was made using For the Love of McKayla Kit also.
