Hi Pat,
Well I am still here ... and still pluggin' along.

I am glad you like the card... :).  I had fun making it.  I am definitly 
working on technique now with them and have ventured into using some paints 
and of course my RS's to enhance these compositions. I made my first "cut 
away" card the other day and I definitly need to work on doing these... the 
card is very "lacy" looking and if you don't look real close you won't see my 
errors .... all in all I am very pleased with how it came out.  My rubber 
stamps are now getting a pretty good work out again...  the unfortunate thing 
though is that I can only do one craft at a time with out having a real mess 
here  so my quilting is on hold for a bit while I work on catching up with my 
RS'ing... 
  I still have 200 wedding invitations to get done too... and I want to get 
them going sometime this week . Plus 
I am terribly low on Birthday cards and other all occassion cards... And 
especially Note cards... so I want to get some made up so I have them   when 
I really need them... 
  I also just finished the lay outs last night for another 69 RS's that I 
will have made up! I am quite pleased with how many I am able to get into a 
single matrix... I will have 3 matrix made up this time around...
  Now as far as my health goes... I am still more wheezy than I would like to 
be.  I am staying low with little physical activity right now... and am still 
on the continious oxygen for now... I am no longer light headed all the time 
though so my O2 saturation must be improving with the O2. So that is 
progress. I go back to the doctor tomorrow... so we will see what he has to 
say then... 
I am doing my very best to get it together believe me...   
Julia
