Getting back to business...winners inside

 Finally I am up and about - slowly  but surely healing.
Thank you for your sweet get well wishes!

I was even blessed by a very sweet friend sending me flowers!

If you did not catch  my post I recently had emergency surgery

 http://letsembellish.blogspot.com/2012/05/give-away-surgery-and-regularly.html?showComment=1337685069750#c5968072396993051318

but I am doing better now.

It is amazing things that you take for granted, that come naturally

until you can't anymore because they cause you great pain -

like getting up all by yourself, walking, laughing, sneezing, coughing,
taking a deep breath,

having a coherent conversation...

In addition to healing I was chair bound (thank God for recliners!)

 and in and out of consciousness so when I was awake I was bored.

I watched a lot of movies- OK well parts of the movies because I kept falling asleep!

One day I was determined to get back to scrapping, I had my night owl

go get the basics(scrapbook room is upstairs! eeek!)-
by the time we had it all set up I was

too exhausted and went back to sleep! LOL!

Later I had him take it back and just get me a pencil and my sketchbook,
here are some of the pics I drew!

 I don't know why but this one reminds me of my oldest daughter

when she was headed off to college.

This one is kinda funny to me - instead of  drawing what naturallycomes to me

 I was trying to make the eyes really big and cartoon like.

When I finished her face I just knew she was a super hero!

This was about week after surgery,

I was still not functional and frustrated.

The house was a disaster,

 the kids were running amuck, everyone kept asking me questions!

  I am drawing this girl thinking what am I "superwoman"?

You probably can't read it on the page because lighting is bad and it's in pencil

 but I wrote "Hold on while I grab my cape!" on the page.

Probably won't be drawing this type of girl again, not really my style,

 but  a little art therapy is good I think.

So anyways I still have not had the time to catch up on all your lovely blogs,

I still have some pain, get tired easily and get nausous in the car. 

 I have lots of catching up to do - house stuff, kid stuff, work projects due, etc.

 but I did manage to pick not just

two but 4 winners from the Faber-Castell/Prima Blog Hop.
