BadSherry was inquiring if the original thread was getting too long for us to continue posting on. Good question...Don't know the answer...but here is the solution.
After 105 pages...we probably need a new thread.
So RAK away and be sure to promptly post your Gratitude when you receive!
I simply do not use my Wonderful Words 2 set enough. Thanks for this inspiring card and layout. I will have to try my hand at casing your idea with some of my own sets!
Saw this in the chat thread I stopped in at. Posting to find this. I have a thank you... so sick can't remember. Thanks for understanding. Be back soon.
I received the most adorable giraffe card from Kittie747. In it she enclosed two stamped images for me to color and pass along. One is colored and tomorrow I can hopefully make it into a card worthy. Then to color the next one and send it along too.
Thanks, Kittie, for your encouragement...I've sat on it since late last week almost too afraid to color in!

Dawn sent the prettiest *SO VERY sweet* on a cuttlebugged background...she's becoming an enabler big time! In the card she enclosed a stamp off of her bandanaed (is that a word) rooster so I could make my SIL's 50th birthday card...the words are just right for her and I know she's gonna love the card when we surprise her at the party.
Thanks again, Dawn.

In case you didn't see this...
I will need all the prayers and good thoughts I can get. I have to have surgery on my Rt. elbow...the MRI shows an EXTENSIVE tear on one of the muscles that attaches to the Humerus (upper arm bone) but works the lower forearm, wrist and hand. he is going to toally disconnect it from the humerus and attach it to the radius (one of the lower arm bones) so my arm mechanics will change a little, but the stregnth will decrease a lot.
This surgery will be taking place either the week of March 12th or the week of April 16th. I'll let you all know as soon as I can. They are having me see the infectious disease doctor first to see if she has any preventative ideas/meds etc. to offer. The surgeon is going to put me on Vancomycin (what I was on for over 6 motnhs with a PICC line for the wrist) before the surgery. during and for a couple of hours after.
I ask that you all PRAY and send out good vibes that my "dormant" MRSA does not show up in this surgical site. (as you all know it took 3 of the wrist bones in my left wrist) *IF* it gets in the bones of the elbow, *AND* they can not cure it immediately...amputation could be a possibility.
Yes I am taking a risk to have the surgery, but he says it is only about 20% chance roughly(since there will be no foreign bodies involved, ie. pins, screws plates etc---it is just stitches).
The pain will only continue to get worse because the tear will continue to rip til it is ripped the entire legnth of the muscle (down into the forearm/hand) I actually have 2 tears one on each side of the attachment, but the one side is long and down past the elbow now, the other is just from the attachment point to the elbow joint at this time.
If I was 66 and not 46 I probably would say let's let it ride for now. I have enough pain on a daily basis as it is, if this could be one less than great.
My kids are out of the home, except for Youngest DD, My older Sister lives far away as does my mom. I have 2 friends that I scrap with etc. But SCS is a big part of my life, and I consider many of you my friends!

Thank you so much for the beautiful RAK Peggy. (smallpigpig) You are such a talented stamper! The floral background stamped in eggplant on aprricot is just stunning. The softly colored bird and saying from Natural Beauty are truly that! Thanks, I really needed this today!
A quick thank you to Bonnie for the "red roses" in my mailbox! She also sent me two images for the "image chain". I'll see what I can do with those!
A big apology to whoever sent me images last time.... There was no explanation about the chain that was going, so I'm afraid I was a broken link. I set them aside SOMEWHERE in my stamp room where they may never again see the light of day! LOL!
Gonna go see if I can get some RAKs together.... I got the labels all printed up to sent out about 12... That ought to catch me up! LOL!
I was blessed in my snailmail box today with a beauty of a creation from Susan. I didn't know where to begin in 'analyzing' its creation.....it had flowers, both flat images and 3'D images, brads, button flower denter, ribbon used in a unique and creative way, as well as an awesome layout and faux stitiching.....and a very creative left border image...............wowza......amazing how a very creative person can bring so many element together in an awesome card.....thank you so very much, Susan....you made my day...........thanks also for your friendship and encouragement in the galleries........you are kind with your comments.......happy stamping to you.......

The images could have been from me... I just send them with all of my RAKs (not a part of the chain so no explanation)... unless I've had a senior moment and forgotten to put them in the card. :p I didn't realize the chain was still working. How cool!
im glad you liked the card!
I had to ask dawn what your addy was because she didnt update the list.. hehehe
have a good one1

You're welcome Lisa. Can't wait to see what you do with the images.
Big thanks and BIGGER apologies to Bonnie and Terry!
Hey ladies, I think i forgot to thank y'all for the raks I received from you.
Terry, I appreciate the (belated) birthday card using delight in life, SO pretty!
Bonnie, thanks for the Valentine's day card, love that stamp w/ the *heart* flowers and the bling you added!
Thanks so much!! :mrgreen:
You're welcome Lisa. Can't wait to see what you do with the images.
Well, I got them colored.... Now I'm stuck! LOL! So I chose the images I wanted to send out to the two "lucky" stalkers that will get my "chain letters" and I stamped those up. I also got 12 other RAKs ready to go, so I feel like I accomplished quite a bit! LOL! Now, if only the lotto numbers would go my way tonight..... $370 million would buy an awful lotta rubbah!!!! LOL!
