Whats going on.........

Well, this whole week has been interesting to put it in a nice way. My SIL (DH's older sister) has been acting weird. We have a feeling something is up. So here is a break down on what has been happening.

Sunday (3/30)

Calls us out of the blue. Just to see how we are doing. She had left a message on our machine, as we were out of grocery shopping.

Monday (3/31)

6:00 am--She calls us at to tell me that DH mom was feeling dizzy yesterday, but she was okay. She goes on to tell me that she is at the cafeteria at work, cause she got there early and she was not feeling well.
11:00/12:00pm--She calls and tells me she left work, because she felt dizzy.
2:00pm--Calls DH to tell him that she needs to get his signature for the new power of attorney,
that the one he had with her bank they took out to change her IRA. -something like that, she really did not explain well.
2:00pm to 6:00pm--Made several calls to DH about the paperwork and how she is worried that if something happens to her, her ex-husband will take her money and not give to the kids.
(She has been divorced for 13 years now-still thinks ex is out to get her)

Tues (4/1)

8:00am-1pm- Calls DH several times to tell him, she is really worried about the paperwork and she is not feeling well. She left work again, she needs this done and wants to get a Will now. DH goes to see her and his parents. Takes her to get the power of attorney to get notarized and tells her to go take it to the bank.

4:00pm--She calls DH to tell him, the bank won't accept the power of attorney, he needs to present it to them with his ID. DH tells her he will go sometime this week. She's okay with that.

Thurs (4/3)

11:00am--Calls us to tell us the same thing. She is worried something is going to happen to her and her ex is not going to give anything to the boys.

We are thinking the worst, something is up. We are re-visiting what happened 5 years ago., where she blanked out and ran across the freeway and got hit by several cars. She was missing for 2 days, til she regained her memory and the hospital called us. We had called all hospitals and put a missing persons report as soon as she was 24hr missing (law). We could not find her, cause she had given a weird different name to the EMTs.

Friday (4/4)

6:00am--SIL calls to tell me her AT & T check payment, bounced. Does not know what to do. Says she has money in the bank. She is freaking out. Told her if she has the funds, then she just needs to call them and tell them she is sending another payment to them. She says okay, hangs up.

6:10am--Calls again--DH gets the call, she tells him that she does not feel well, she is feeling dizzy and that they called her from work, that her assignment is over not to come in. After, speaking with her George asks her is she knows what day it is.....she says today is April 20Th. Asked her how long has she been feeling dizzy, she said since last week and that she is seeing things blurry. We get up and George gets dressed and takes off to go see her, she lives about 40 Min's away (no traffic).

7:00am--She calls....She is feeling real dizzy and has blurred vision. Asked her if she has eaten anything, she can't remember. Asked her how long she has been feeling this way...she said for about a week. Told her if she has seen Dr. said no. She told me that she had told George that today was the 20th when it is not. Asked her what today was and she did not answer. Told her today was their moms birthday, April 4TH. She did not say anything.
I called George, he is about 10 Min's away, he was going to call her. Their other sister is on her way, she should be there in about 1hr or 1 1/2 hrs. she lives further out.

Pray that she will be okay and we can find out what is going on with her.

Happy Easter!!

Hope everyone has a great Easter with the family. We did not really do anything special, as George is sick with the flu. We did have the Easter bunny visit Briana this morning and he left her a basket full of goodies.



This year was fun to watch her face when she saw her basket. I had George keep her occupied upstairs in our room, while I went downstairs to get her basket out of the closet and leave a trail of eggs for her to follow when she came downstairs for breakfast. It was so funny to hear her yell, Daddy! Mommy! the Easter Bunny came, look at all the eggs all for me!! LOL! I am glad George got up and got the video camera. It was priceless.

Here are a few pictures. She would not let me take any, so these are the best shots I got.

Trail of eggs the Easter bunny left her.
Look Mommy, Daddy!!! The Easter Bunny was here!!

Wow!! Lets see what is inside......Yummy, Chocolate!!


Looking for more chocolate and toys. I love my bunny ears!!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and thanks for visiting me {HUGS}.

A Gift for Me

A few weeks ago a dear friend of Georges family lost a dear friend. Her name was Albertina. I was happy to say, I met this great lady when George and I were dating. She was a very talented and sweet lady. She passed away from Cancer. Her husband died a very long time ago and they only had one son. Well, he came over the other day to bring me something his mom left for me, can you believe it ME. I was so taken back, I just cried. No one has left me something in their will. I mean, I do have my mom jewelery and my house has some furnishings and decor that my dad gave me, when I got married and I treasure those with my life. But, from a person outside of family, never. Here is a picture of what he gave me.


This is a handmade fruit bowl she did with silicone (I think). It is so pretty in person.



and this is a statue of the Virgin Mercedes, she is one of many patrons of Cuba. This is the Virgin I have on my medallion that I wear and my mom gave me.


I am just so in awe with the gifts she left me. I will treasure these for ever.

This Made my Day!


I just received an e-mail from Creating Keepsakes. They are going to publish my answer to their Junes "In Your Words" question. I had submitted my answer for fun, I had totally forgotten about it. The best part is they will be sending me a copy of Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 2 in about a month after the June 2008 CK issue is available. I can't wait!!!

Scrapfreak Birthday Bash Crop

I spent the weekend scrapping with some great friends online at Scrapfreak. Scrapfreak celebrated their 1st Birthday with a Birthday Bash Crop! There were so many awesome challenges, projects and fun games. I had lots of fun with all of them. I just wished I had time to do all of the projects, but had family staying over the week-end and I could not ignore them.

Here are just some layouts, a card, and a mini-accordion album I was able to do.


Mini Accordion Album











Layout Based on a sketch by Cherie





















Layout for one of the Challenges: The Challenge was to do a Birthday theme layout, use rub-ons, 3 or more pictures, must have a Number and the word Birthday on the layout. This was my take.



















Besides all the fun I had scrapping with the girls, we had an awesome chat with the Team Freaks and my chat number was picked and I also won the Digi Card Challenge so I get to pick any 2 paper lines from the store.

Thanks Monica and Team Freaks.....You all are just awesome!!

If you haven't checked out Scrapfreak yet, please do stop by and join us on all the fun!! This is where I find my mojo, do a little shopping, and chat with my friends.
