Back to the Business of Blogging

The reason I blog is to share fun,

 

 

happy projects

 

with a little bit of eye candy thrown in.

 

 

 

Earlier this year I returned after a long

absence and struggled with if I wanted

to continue blogging.

 

 

 I have happily returned with

the objective of blogging is posting

what makes my heart happy.

 

 

I have gotten over many hits

I get in a day, and the number of followers.

 

A delightful bonus of worry free blogging is

I have made many friends all over the world. 

 I enjoy visiting their blogs and in turn they visit me often.

 

 

So now with my health

issues in check.

 

 

Happy Blogging it is!

 

Let the Adventue Begin!

 

Thanks for visiting,

wishing you health, smiles

and a wonderful weekend.

I'm Back

 

I am finally home after 17 days at the Cleveland Clinic.

 

 

Seven days in the hospital and ten days as an outpatient.

Needless to say everything seems like a blur.

Cleveland Clinic takes a "team" approach

 to diagnose a patient with a unusual symptoms.

I was very impressed with my treatment.

 

I am home with a diagnosis of Histoplasmosis, 

which is a result of a fungus, that is in the soil,

that becomes air borne and inhaled.

Many people are affected by it resulting

in flu like symptoms only for a week or so.

 

 

Well lucky me,

 the fungus stayed in my system

and started attacking my lymph nodes

 and esophagus which was very painful.

 



I have started an anti fungal medication

 that I will be on for 3 months to a year.

I am feeling a little better

 and have been told I will have

some up and some down days.

That is okay at least I know what I am dealing with.

Hopefully I will back full force soon.

Thanks to all of you that left lovely and caring thoughts.

Enough already!

I am ready to return to the blogging world.

It may not be what I am doing currentl.y

I plan to take this opportunity

to share many things that in

this crazy busy world I didn't

have time to post at the time.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Wishing you health and smiles!

A Little Update

I Just Want to Create...

Yes I do!

 

Every year when I host my Creativ-i-TEA

I take great pleasure in "creating" the favors. 

 I want something unusual,

something you can't walk into a store and purchase,

something that I hope will bring on a smile.

AND

it has to be something that I ENJOY making.

This year I made hanging air plants.

It combined nature and  a little bit of bling.

 

I used 14 gauge aluminum wire,

beads and crystals.

 The wire is very flexible and won't rust.

 

I ordered the air plants on etsy.com

and then I spent a couple of days,

twisting, threading and assembling.
 

I enjoyed these little sparklers hanging on the kellio,

for most of the summer

and then they went to their new homes

after the creativ-i-tea.

 

I am still healing and frustrated

that so many autumn photo opts are

getting away from me. 

Although in the mean time I have been

reading more than I usually do.

 

I just finished:

a great read.

A true love story!

I definitely recommend it.

 

I hope you are enjoying the cooler

days and chilly sleeping weather.

I know I am.

 

Enjoy and Take Care!

P.S. For those of you who are not familiar with air plants,
here's the scoop: they don't require soil, you simply mist
them with water once or twice a week.  They multiply a lot like
succulents and they have beautiful blooms.  The next time I
have one that blooms I will share it with you.

I find all different ways to use these little guys!
