I love to pick up little gifts through out the year (I love Target's little treasure bins) for future gifts! I made up some gift lists to keep track of what I buy this year so that I don't end up with too many items for one little or big friend. There are six total pages if you'd like them the links are below.
Happy New Year!

Desktop freebie...fill in your own pics, mine are two of my adorable grand babies :)

I used Kimeric Kreations beautiful freebies to make up the desktop♥

I joined the Smiley360 mission and they sent me 2 full sized bags of Randoms gummy candy treats to try for FREE! My family is thrilled with the little bursts of flavor each gummy offers. We love the fact that they contain no artificial flavors and each one contains real fruit juice. I can share them with my grandchildren without feeling guilty! (Especially now that we are potty training I found just 1 is an extra treat she loves when she goes on the potty!) Each bag has different shapes and flavors so we were able to taste all of them. I love that the textures are different and the designs vary. My husband said he does not have a favorite but I love the ones with the marshmallow backs the best! Thanks Smiley and Wonka for giving us a chance to try your new candy! http://www.wonka.com/randoms-products/

August is around the corner!

I made up a new August desktop to feature my beautiful Grandbabies. I hope someone can use it as well! I don't believe kids will be heading back to school soon. I even saw Christmas stuff filling the shelves at stores.....say it isn't so! UgHHH I used Amber Shaws free "cute as a bug" kit to design this desktop, there is one included in the zip without the August heading as well. ENJOY http://www.4shared.com/zip/v8sTJRbVba/Augustdesktopdesignsbydenise.html

It is getting hard to find beautiful, new desktops for my computer each month to display my sweet grandchildren. I made a few myself, hope you enjoy!! http://www.4shared.com/get/ng1uqfklba/2014_July_Desktopsdesignsbyden.html

Made this up for my Mom's birthday, she has always given me this advice in one form or another...I thought she might need a reminder herself. Sharing 5.5 x 5 here: http://www.4shared.com/photo/EAYGblKNce/give_it_to_goddesignsby.html

Day 10 Most..... of the pain in gone under my rib cage where my gallbladder was. It still hurts to take a deep breath and I keep having little hitches or hicuups in my breathing every once in a while, with this I inhale and moan a little. I am still tired when I try to do to much and bending over is very uncomfortable. The glue tape on my belly button came off and I am ready for the others to come off because they look nasty. When I haven't eaten in about 5 hours I get a burning in the center of my chest under my breast bone, this comes in the night also and wakes me up.

Gall Bladder Surgery

I had Gall Bladder Surgery on Friday May 30. Exactly 1 week ago I was heading  to the hospital about this time. I really expected after one week I would be feeling better then I do right now. Another sleepless, pain filled night :(

The surgery went routinely. My gall bladder was a mess, totally filled with stones! YUCK! I feel embarrassed but then again in each case I read I see that different circumstances caused various results. I remember just waking up from anesthesia feeling so alone and in so much pain but there was nothing I could do to get a nurse's attention. After my second jolt of pain medication I overheard a nurse saying that she didn't want to eat a doughnut after seeing a picture of THAT gall bladder :(

I was sent home and still very much out of it. My husband filled my pain medicine prescription and it was also discovered I have a UTI so I have to take Cipro as well. My first night was horrible. After 2 pain pills I was itching every where imaginable. I woke up with red, hot skin, now I am allergic to opiates! I had to manage my pain with extra strength Tylenol, just not fair! My husband got out his ice machine that he bought when he had knee surgery and I iced my incisions (4 for me) the next two days off and on. This seemed to help tremendously. I felt like I was healing a lot each day. Laying flat on my back to sleep is ridiculous, I hate it with a passion, I just want to roll over and hug my pillow!

Day 5 A new pain started at the gall-bladder site. A constant stabbing, shortness of breath feeling. It lasted all day and night, not stopping. Day 6 the same pain but at least it was relieved when I was sitting down. Standing up make it worse and deep breaths or coughing made me feel like I could not breathe for a few seconds.
Day 7 I had to drive myself for my surgeon check up. First time putting on a bra and clothes since surgery....Not fun!

My surgeon said I had thousands of gall stones-yuck! She said the pain is probably from going through the muscle during surgery. I can take extra strength motrin with tylenol 3 times a day for pain. She does not believe I have a bile leakage, but did some blood work to check things out. She said it takes some people longer to heal than others (WhY Me?) I am exhausted and done for the day that is for sure!

I filled a large baby bottle (found at hobby lobby) with candy and everyone had to guess how many were inside. The gift was the baby bottle.

Reindeer Noses--an easy gift to make!

Hello there!
I've been a busy girl today, finishing up some scrappy calendars for gifts.
I saw this cute idea in Chasing Fireflies magazine
for $14 dollars and thought I could make my own version much cheaper.
I bought my 5 inch tall ball mason jars from hobby lobby for about .50cents each and ribbon is 50 percent off just about everywhere you look. I'm sharing the label I made in case anyone wants to make these cuties too! They say to use red and green jellybeans,
I might just use red and green m&m's for my tasty treat......
Have fun creating!!!!

idea from chasing fireflies

my preview and link (idea above is in the zip)
