More Easter Chic freebies

Slowpoke here has more Easter Chic for you today. I'm in the process of making a reservation at a hotel In NC for my son's wedding in June. The kids are getting married in Nags Head at a friend's beach "cottage" (more house really and very nice) June 11. Resort area, beach holiday season, Mama in sticker shock. I need to be there for 2 nights and that isn't going to be cheap. I see that some of the young guests are camping. Yuck! This old woman needs a restful, air conditioned room with microwave (for my heat wrap for pain) and fridge too. Anyway, here's what we have today:

Freebie & Happy Birthday to my brother, Thom

When I was 8 I stayed with my paternal grandparents over Easter weekend because Mom was in the hospital. She was walking through labor pains. Labor was always a slow process for her because she had polio as a child. Sounds strange, doesn't it? But she struggled with my birth and had surgical and forceps intervention to deliver me. She wasn't expected to have any more children but surprise! The uterine tumor her young OB diagnosed started kicking! Anyway my baby brother was born on Easter Monday of that year. He lives in Florida now so I'll be giving him a call today.
Your freebie today is:

Working on entertainment center today. Got all the movies and CDs in the drawers and have just about finished putting shelves back and adding my Precious Moments collection and some tea things. Should have dining room table cleared before dinner time. But so much else to be done! Homework - a never ending nuisance!

Decorating with free Bunny Banner

Croupy night yesterday and early today. Taking it easy and planning to watch basketball again in a few. I've been seeing banners of various sorts lots of places. They add a cute touch of color. So I decided to use the colors of our Easter Chic kit and make a simple bunny banner. I made 9 bunnies and set them up on 8.5" x 11" psd files so that you can use them individually if you would like or you can merge layers together, save as jpeg and print out. Use a heavy cardstock to print on, cut the bunnies out, glue on a small white pompom for a tail, punch holes in the ears for stringing (if you have notebook paper reinforcements, you might want to put those on behind the ears to protect the holes from tearing). I had planned to have mine put together and up so I could take a photo of finished product but seasonal allergies disturbed plans. Anyway, it will just be the two of us for Easter and we aren't doing a traditional dinner. Husband will be cooking flounder, hush puppies, and twice baked potatoes tomorrow.

Day 5 of Easter Chic

I'm so behind of getting an Easter kit out to you! But much of it can be used for Spring, I think. Today I've got some frames and some decorated eggs.

What's Easter without eggs? Freebie

Trees and bushes are flowering here and the air must be filled with pollen because I've had gummy eyes, coughing and wheezing today. Benedryl time! My car is due for inspection and didn't pass. Replacement part has been ordered. Haven't accomplished much of anything today. Watching the NCAA Sweet Sixteen basket ball games. First two tonight have been blowouts. Taking a moment in between to post a small freebie. Here are some pastel Easter eggs that you can decorate as you wish.

My plan is to come back and post another freebie today in a couple hours.

Wednesday news & Easter Chic freebie

After several hours (Maybe more because I left while it was going on) the Cox Cable technician got everything fixed. Seems there was a glitch at the box and some other thing. Hope we will not be billed for service call. While the Cox man was at the house, I went to the hospital for the CT. When the tech came to get me she motioned me out into the hall to talk to me. My doctor ordered it done with contrast. Guess what? I'm allergic to the iodine contrast and would have reminded my doctor if he had told me. Iodine allergy is written on my chart! Of course, I'd noted it on the form at the hospital. The tech wanted to know what happened and if I'd been prepped. I calmly repeated what I had written next to the allergy information: anaphylactic shock and that after I'd been prepped with Benedryl for several days. "Oh," she said. Would I be willing to drink the other contrast they were going to use and they would skip the injection? Sure, if it wasn't likely to cause a bad reaction. So I drank about about 20 oz of what tasted like dirty water and had to wait an hour. Test only took 3 minutes. After being gone about 3 hours I got a call maybe an hour later from my doctor's nurse to say the CT was normal. Great. Really that's good news but next time I have that pain, I guess I'd best go to ER right then and maybe we can find out why it is happening.

Glad to hear that some like the Easter colors. Today I have 2 more simple papers that will read like solids and crumpled ribbons in all the colors. Working on some more elements today.

Ready for something new? Chat and freebie

I meant to give advance notice but didn't manage. From now on, I plan no posts for Sunday. Of course, I might surprise you once in awhile. Where have I been? Once we got the ceiling repaired and re-plastered, we did a little replacing of some objects but didn't get very far. Cox Communications in our area finally started going digital. A month or more ago, we received the digital boxes for our 2 TVs. but when they connected it all, we couldn't get channel 3 (CBS/local WTKR). Most of my favorite shows are on CBS so my husband called and spent hours (really!) on the phone with Cox technicians trying to sort it all out. They had him doing this and that, over and over again. When he said they needed to send someone out, he was told we would be charged. Now we've been customers for over 20 years, so he was angry that Cox was going to charge us for this change they were making. I made another call and got the same run around. We disconnected the digital box and proceeded as before until the change over really started happening and notices would appear on channels as they "disappeared." Tried box installation again and had same results. Hubby was threatening to go to dish when someone checked far enough to learn that a number of people in my neighborhood couldn't get CBS (my father is 20 minutes away and he could). A compromise was agreed on: a technician would be sent out. If the trouble was their fault, no fee; if our fault, $60. Turns out it is their fault; they need to add a signal booster for this area. We will get a $20 credit and the tech is due out again tomorrow. Meanwhile we can't put all the stuff back in the entertainment center because we had to pull it away from the wall and leave it that way until Cox fixes the problem and re-connects the box.
Since my birthday on 3/10 was spent removing things from the living room, we decided to go up to Dover Downs and spend a night up there. Had a road trip sing-a-long, tried a new restaurant, and played penny slots. No, didn't really come away winners, but because of the way I play, we didn't come home broke either. Rested up after all the driving, did some chores, took care of some family business, and a couple doctor appointments. Now I'm back. I was debating whether or not I wanted to do another Easter kit and did some surfing hoping for inspiration. Came across this photo in an ad:
And thought these would make great Easter colors. Tonight the first papers in Easter Chic:

I know 2 papers isn't much but I'm just getting started. Tomorrow I have to go for a CT to try to figure out where these bouts of severe upper right abdominal quadrant are coming from. Not the gallbladder; that was removed a couple years ago. Doc says it might have something to do with the mild gastro paresis. We will see.
