Update on Shelli #3 ~ No Walker in Sight

 

Many of you have asked me about Shelli wanting to know how her recovery is coming along.  I just checked her blog and wanted to share her post from Wednesday, November 6.  She is an amazing lady, read on......

 

I attended several meetings at the home office yesterday, and several employees were surprised to see me walking without a cane. I realized that I hadn’t told anyone—I was given the OK to walk without a cane on Friday! Happy day! I walk slow, and always with someone nearby when I’m out of the house so I can reach out once in a while for a little stability, but I’m definitely not complaining!

 

And that’s not the only change. . .

 

• No walker in sight
• The hospital-style bed is gone
• I’ve done my own hair every day for almost a week (except for yesterday because we shot some videos, so Megan did it)
• Getting dressed by myself
• The wheelchair is still around—in case I need it for a long jaunt—but I’m thinking it will be headed to storage very soon
• Physical therapy only once a week; still doing occupational therapy twice a week

 

Of course, I’m moving slowly (much more slower than I would like) and there’s occasional discomfort, but that’s to be expected. I’m thrilled with the progress and am eagerly looking forward to the next big milestone—driving! I don’t have any photos of these milestones (you’ll just have to imagine it!), but you can bet I’ll take a photo of that one. . . me sitting in the car, looking very happy and grateful, celebrating my independence day! Sterling will probably be pretty happy about that too!

 

In the meantime, I’m just savoring every step I take. . .

Shelli's gifts.....

Several weeks ago I posted an update of Shelli's healing progress.  One of the activities that she mentioned was that she and her daughters had visited a spa and had a girl's night out.  In typical Shelli style she had pillow gifts for her daughters and posted a picture of the gift ~ definitely, Shelli style.  I thought you might like to see it ~

Seasons of Style Scrapbook

Scrapbooking is so much fun whether you do it digitally or the "old fashioned" way.  Our family memories should be cherished and shared each year.  Stampin' Up' has a new scrapbook to help  you bring it all to life.  And, actually, this pretty new album is the one we are using for our RECIPE SWAP on November 10!

The Season of Style Scrapbook is stylish and coordinates so well with the items in our Season of Style line.  You can mix and match and change it up however you like.  That is where the fun comes in.  I have a video to share with you from Stampin' Up! to see how well it all can all come together.

If you would like to purchase any of the products from our Season of Style line, visit my online stamping store today and fill your season with style!

See What You Can Create Yourself

While Alan and I are gone for a few days I thought I would post some of the fun products that Stampin' Up! has introduced recently.  This is one that I have blogged about before but wait until you see what Shannon has done with  Stampin' Up!'s Undefined Stamp Carving Kit.  What an inspiration she is!!

Remember, if you can put it to paper, you can create a stamp. 

She created that card above with her own stamp.  That is her dog and the card just blew me away.  I'm thinking, I really need to do this more ~ Jupiter and Star would make great cards from the Cat/Art Studio, don't you think?

Take a look at her post here and see how she did it.

If you would like to order the kit and try it out for yourself, visit my online stamping store today.  You may surprise yourself.
