Yes I got it and I LOVE the cats meow file folder!!!

I am so glad you got it! I'm glad you like everything! It's the first time I have used stickers on projects and was wondering how it would be received! Thanks!

Thanks ladies! I got my library cards and tags cut last night and some of them assembled. I am restricted to half an hour a day of "close work" due to my corneal ulcer so I didn't have time to finish them but I will work on them some more today.

I'm so sorry. Someone, somewhere must be loving my cute kitty stuff!

It took me until this post to figure out what you meant by close work. I thought you meant "end of day" work, not "near to you" work.
I haven't googled your condition yet, but I hope it something that will heal quickly.

I woke up two weeks ago with a beet red eye and severe pain in my right eye. After trying to "deal" with it for the morning, I went to the optometrist who told me I had the "largest corneal ulcer" he had ever seen. He gave me some antibiotic eye drops that I used for a week and half before he figured out that they weren't working so he sent me to a corneal specialist last Friday. Mind you, this whole time I was restricted from computer work (not that I stopped), watching TV and all close work (reading, scrapping, knitting, etc.) and I had to wear sunglasses and a hat everywhere I went. By last Friday, my eye was still totally swollen and red and the corneal specialist freaked out on me, presribed three different antibiotic drops/ointments and made me come back yesterday. The good news is that my eye is FINALLY getting better. The pain is mostly gone but my vision is still blurry and she still has me limited to only 1/2 hour of "close work" a day.

So that is what I mean when I say "close work". Honestly, it is nice to be able to do something other than watch TV and be online against doctors' orders. The bad news is that it will take me a bit to finish because my eye still gets really tired and starts to burn if I focus too long on anything.

Thanks for the well wishes, though! I am definitely ready for it to be better!

shauna -- i'm so sorry about your eye and then having to remake your swap!! oh my mucho PD heading your way!!

anyhow - a while back i promised to post a cute dachshund tidbit for those of us with doxies, but really this sentiment could be used for most any dog I bet! thought you may like it for a layout sometime, it's from Dachshunds for Dummies book:

The Dachshund philosophy:

How does a dachshund view the world? Much like a toddler. You may have seen versions of this list before, referring to Dachshunds, or, in a slightly differently form (but not too different!) to small children. This is how a Dachsie thinks:

• If I like it it's mine.
  
• If I think I might like it, it's mine.
  
• If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
  
• If it was ever in my mouth, it's mine.
  
• If I can take it from you, it's mine.
  
• If you take it from me, it's still mine.
  
• If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
  
• If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
  
• If I'm chewing something, all the pieces are mine.
  
• If it looks just like mine, it's mine.
  
• If I saw it first, it's mine.
  
• If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
• Everything I've ever laid eyes or teeth upon is mine........including you!

I've seen that "Dachsund philosophy" written as a dog's philosophy and also written with every breed under the sun in the title. When you think about it, it applies to most dogs, especially puppies. And some puppies never seem to age, even when they're 14 years old!! It's in one of my corgi's scrapbook.

 

[disneyfreakk]

woo hoo! DC showes that package was delivered!

 

[KatDisney]

Didnt check my mail yesterday but Im heading that way soon )

 

[TPCShauna]

OK Ladies. Thank you for your patience. I have re-done my elements and will be mailing tomorrow morning with DC.

Thank you all for being willing to wait for me. My eye has improved quite a bit and I'm allowed a full hour a day to do close work. The corneal specialist said that I should be lucky and won't have any scarring.

Thanks for all the PD!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm glad you're doing better, Shauna!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'm glad to hear about the no scarring!!

Glad you are doing better.

 

[disneyfreakk]

Shauna,

Kat,
did my package make it to you yet?


*hugs*

I love this! I have a kitten and she is EVIL, (she takes after me)
Anyway, this quote describes her to a T!!!!!
