Latest Activity
hi lotus - this was great - i have been gathering "stuff" in a very large box for some time now ready to start a junk journal, or scrapbook, or just a memory art book... this has been just what i needed to inspire me to take the next step - which is…

I absolutely love this! What an inspirational thing to view...I am with DJ LOL It is giving me a journal itch that may need to be scratched soon!
I really loved all the pages, but the little upside down fish really got my attention...he seemed to kn…
Wow, Lotus, that was inspiring! I love the freedom you used to put together ephemera and ignore any boundaries. Now, my fingers are itching to make a new journal...no time just now, but maybe something really simple...
Hugs~
It just seems the years go by faster and faster! I'm actually glad this year is almost done, cuz it's been a doozy... lol!
I am back to no art again- just not up to it- but I want to share my progress on my junk journal!

Woohoo!
Hey everyone!
I'm a bit tired to re-type this, so I'm pasting it from my blog:
Went to the doc's yesterday and got the go ahead to do art again! Woohoo! I was told no driving (at all!) and no heavy lifting. Other than that, I'm good!
I still have pain at the base of my neck and soreness at my shoulders, but he said there wasn't anything he could do about that and to have patience- it may go away. I can live with that... as long as I can go back to work and do my art... I'M GOOD! lol
I see him… Continue

Update on surgery
Hello everyone!
Just a quick update. Went to the doc's for a final checkup and everything is a go! Surgery on Wednesday @ 2pm. It will take at least four hours and I'll spend two days in the hospital. 8-12 weeks for recovery...?!? I am soooo ready for this!

Okay, I have a date!
Hi CCSer's!
Just wanted to update you on my situation. I will be going in for surgery on November 18th @ 2pm. I'll probably keep up the art up to the first week of November, but then I have to clean everything up and get ready for the surgery.
Isn't this sad, to take over my livingroom like th… Continue

Just got back from the docs!
I was very excited to share with you all the results of the consultation!
Although my scans and tests show that I have compression on the spinal cord, my body is not showing the effects, so the doc recommends that I take a cortizone shot. He asked me if I can live with what I have right now (yeah, if I didn't have to work!). He says 50/50 the shot will work. If not, then surgery will be the next step. 80/20 in that case.
Sooooo, I have to wait for the shot approval and see if it works before I… Continue

- Hi Lotus,
Thank you so much for your comments about my altered book pages. I understand you are recovering from spinal surgery. Yikes! That cannot be fun. I wish you well with that and am glad to know that you can now resume some art work. That would make me feel a lot better. I hope you continue well with your recovery. Be good to yourself and don't push it if you don't have to. Look forward to seeing you around and seeing more of your art.

Malinda Neisess said… - :-) Dear Sweet Lotus!
How are you? I do see that you are having some back/neck issues and I will pray for you for relief. I hate to bring this up but your work space does not look good for your spine... is there some way you could find a spot to better support your posture?
How's your family doing?
I'm assuming you might be on leave from work but are you driving the bus these days when working?
Didn't you move?
I see you are making some awesome books/journals, do you still make dolls and or the stamps?
I am looking forward to catching up...
love ya,
malinda

- Lotus: I got the message from Dan about the young man, Garrett, who is entering hospice and would like to receive cards. I wrote a haiku poem for him today, that I am sending him inside a card. I was deeply touched by his story. Thank you for alerting us and making us aware of a small thing we can do to aid in his comfort.
