Challenge #9-- THE GAME is...Round, Bally, Round

Hello Crafters, Welcome back!  

I am so sorry for our short shut down. The good news is Ron is on the mend, and in the "Transitional" care unit, getting PT an strengthening! He may be coming home as soon as Wednesday!

Also, Before I go any further, I regretfully need to share some sad news.  Kapree is no longer a member of our design team. She was having a difficult time with her time, as in she didn't have much, LOL! We will miss her and she knows she is welcome back at any time.

"Round, Bally, Round" is an old "hand" game that my late Mother in Law used to do with my kids. I never saw it before, or since.  FOR US, it just means making something round! I loved how the title sounded though, so I went with it!

PLEASE NOTE: there is a time change for this challenge, due to us being down. Details below.

I apologize in advance for my "tiny" effort.

Here is what the DT has for you!! 

 June ~  a brooch

Anita~  tags

 Sara~  a fairy Cloche

Chrislyn~  Air brushed Bisque ceramic piece

 

  Susan~  "Bandana" technique note cards

Please join us this challenge by making something ROUND!!  It can be anything as long as it is made by you!

There will be a winner and a runner-up chosen for each challenge. Both will receive a badge for their blog. 

The winner will receive a prize.   This Challenge has a Large wood mounted Bkgd. stamp for a prize!! (and I'll probably throw in some other goodies)

You have from today until September 26th(Wednesday) at midnight EST to enter our challenge with your ROUND creation!

All entrants must be 18 or older. No back linking please, use a creation that has not been shown on the internet by you before. You may also combine your creation with up to 14 other challenges. Please see our rules page.

 
Get messy and have some fun!!

Hubby update

Surgery is not happening today, he was supposed to have a 2nd CT scan this afternoon...

UPDATE: 
Ron did NOT have a2nd CT scan, they scoped him. he has gastritis (inflammation) "DUH! he has been vomiting, and had a Tube down his esophagus and into his stomach." (I said in my mind---sometimes Hospital staff totally baffle me, remember I am a healthcare professional, so i know this stuff, and anatomy)

So I said to the nurse, "so, he has gastritis AND a blockage?" 
 answer: "I don't know, I guess"

me: I thought he had a blockage
answer: "yes"
me: ok, but you just said you didn't know
answer: "we won;'t know for sure til all the tests are done, and the gastro doc and surgeon consult with one another"
me: what other tests are they doing?
answer: "a colonoscopy tomorrow morning"
me: the blockage is in the early part of his small bowel, a colonoscopy only reaches to the end of the large bowel.
answer: "right"
me: Ok, you are now officially confusing me, I am calling his doctor.
answer: "ok"
me: My husband would like some watermelon, watermelon becomes liquid, so can he have some?
answer: "sure"
me: does he still have the NG tube in? As i know that could cause swallowing issues, I won't bring Watermelon, if the tube is still in.
answer: "yes you are right about the swallowing, but the tube is out."

This nurse is off duty at 7pm...Thank the Universe!

OK...so I am going to spend the rest of the day at Ron's bedside, with some watermelon!

Thank you again for all your continued support and I will keep you all updated.
*HUGS*

Emergency...temporarily down

Ron (my husband) needs emergency surgery of some type involving his digestive system...I am waiting for the doctor for more info, and my children to come home, the nurses can't tell me more, than the fact that he has "some kind of blockage" and that they had "to put a tube down his nose into his stomach for draining"

PLEASE continue to pray, and send healing energies also.  I am a wreck...
he is far from perfect but he is my soul mate and we have been together almost 28 years. I am so not ready for ...I do not even want to think about it.

Thank you.

(for those unaware he was admitted to the hospital on Saturday night because his glucose was over 600)

PS...PLEASE if you are interested in a possible DT position email me as listed below

a CHANGE in the GAME and a DT call... small one

Hello everyone,  I have removed the ADULT CONTENT warning, and will leave it off til the new year, in the hopes that we will get more traffic, and then I'll add it back on.  I like nudes, sometimes profanity and some pagan type art, I know others do as well. It was for that reason I had the warning set up in the first place. I also do NOT want to be a censor, not of art, or of people's comments. I mean clearly I am not going to allow someone to come here and be a Troll, but constructive criticism is always a good thing.

I am putting out a call for 3, possibly 4 new DT members.

Upfront info: 2 challenges a month, Mandatory commenting on entries, and your fellow DT members blogs. You may be asked to contribute a prize($15 value) once in a while until we are more known and get corporate/company sponsorship. 

***Members MUST be able to follow a schedule, and be on time with all things.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES only please, email me for the specific information at susanscraps@comcast.net
