Rough week! My step-mother had to go into the hospital Monday to find out why she was having breathing problems and a tingle in her arms. I spent seven hours sitting up there with my dad waiting for the test results which never happened. My dad would not go home without her. She had to check herself out of the hospital just to keep him happy. He has really become dependent on her. I stayed the night with them and picked up her medicine and some groceries Wednesday morning. Debbie came over around 1:30 and took dad for some blood-work. I came on back home for some well needed rest. I didn't sleep very well Tuesday night.

I've been having some telephone problems since Thursday. We had a bad storm come through and now my phone has issues. It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The storm knocked down about 3/4 of the big pine tree by our driveway. Sonny had to pull the tree out of the road when he got home from work.

I did finish a project that I have been working on for a few days. I bought several of Becky Roberts tutorials, http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/ . She does an awesome job on them. They are worth the money. Here is my Tote-ally Awesome Tote:

The tote has three pockets on one side and one long pocket on the other side. The inside has two clear pockets to keep the cards and envelopes in place. There are four cards, two bookmarks, a note pad, and an ink pen. I used Stampin' Up's retired designer paper called Summer Picnic. The images I used were the ones I did last month to practice my Copic skills with. They matched the paper perfect.

Check out Tricia's blog at Priceless. I sent all the pictures I took at CHA to her.
