New creations....AND a fun little contest!

***FIRST quickly***
courtney is feeling much better and well on the road to recovery after her 8 day ordeal
of Strep throat and H1N1.
Doctor at Childrens Hospital Emerg on friday put her on Tamaflu, a highly effective
prescription for bacterial influenza infections...and also off the amoxocillin and onto something stronger for her major case of strep. she was night and day within 24 hours...
just finished 5th day of it tonight and a couple more days yet for strep meds.
she has also FINALLY been referred to a ENT specialist about a possible tonsillectomy...
this will be a good thing, as like her mother was, she is prone to strep / tonsillitis 4-6 times /year!
...and i can't help but feel annoyed with certain people that the same concern and
efforts weren't made for courtney as other people lately diagnosed with the same.
but that's the way it always goes.
i am used to it by now.
anyway, enough about that...
i wanted to share some of my newest creations i've made over this weekend!
a few of them were the layouts i used to teach at my
Monday Night Sketches class last night,
so if your interest is peeked, you should come out to a sketches class soon!
( wink)
:O)









AND........
i have also been busy today with reorganzing the kids' scrapbook albums.
( always having to resort as I add more, dangit, I like things in order )
ANYWAY....
after pulling out and adding the stack of piling up layouts to the new pile to be sorted,
i decided to have a fun little contest...
( i got this idea a loooong time ago off someone else's blog too, good idea, huh? )
LEAVE ME A COMMENT
WITH YOUR GUESS
OF HOW MANY LAYOUTS
ARE IN THIS PILE...
and you might win something fun and scrappy!!
( only one guess per person...and don't even TRY to count them by the photo tara leclaire! )
Deadline for guesses is midnite friday nov. 13... ( Wpg. time )
tell your friends!!!
GOOD LUCK!

That must have been so scary for you! I remember you telling me how lucky you were that your critters didn't have to go to or stay at Children's. So, Courtney was positively diagnosed with H1N1? I am so torn about the shot and this makes it tougher! I am so glad that Courtney is on the mend and hope that you and the rest of the family are holding up okay.
