In honor of September 11, 2001

Today is a very important day for all us here in this country.  No matter where you were at that moment, it has left an mark on all our lives. 

For me personally .... I was working in Post Partum at the hospital as a nurse.  I remember how clearing during my morning rounds of checking on those new mothers, do assessments, checking vitals, touching new bundles of joy, teaching breast feeding and all the other busy things that morning held being stunned to complete unbelief.  I was with a new mother, while we both watched that first plane hit the tower.  It was like watching a action packed movie .... but it was real!!!!  Shock is the only word that truely describes that shift.  Our jobs as nurses because more one of emotional support for each other, and our new mothers.  It was one of the hardest days captured forever in my memory.

For many years, I have looked for and collected photographs that to me reflects the pride of being an American.  The one used in the making of this particular freebie is dedicated to the beautiful girl.  I feel so honored to share this with all of you.

This day and this wordart is dedicated to an unbelievable talented photographer.  Her eye for creating some of the most beautiful artword through a lens is unbelievable.  She takes you on a trip through the world of yesterday, captured with just a click.  I often go to her site just to read.  She makes me happy and she brings me inner peace.   She makes the everyday just so special. 
 
The above photograph can be found on her blog under Monday, July 4 2011 and her site is:

Project 365 is where you can find her photography, which is

To all of us .... love.

A Special Four

SPECIAL REPOST TODAY BECAUSE I FORGOT TO
PUT A DOWNLOAD FOR EVERYONE!!!!
AS ALWAYS SOMETIMES I'M SCATTER-BRAINED


Today, even though it is the fifth of July .... I have a new proposition for everyone. I deliberately didn't use the word "fourth" for this "fourth of July" wordart.. Instead, I used the word "four". Why you ask ....

On the Fourth of July we always celebrate this holiday with reverence. It is the birth of our nation. But, I think we should celebrate every single four on our calendar. Just think how united as a country we'd be, if every month's fourth was always that special to us as American citizens.

You can download this at: http://www.4shared.com/zip/amryhPR6/Fantastic_Four_1_.html


I am also dedicating this wordart to my dear, dear friend Sheryl from Granny Enchanted. Her alphabet that I used in the word "four" is so unique ... that my seed of "independence" was planted. She has one of the most remarkable digital scrapbooking sites on the internet. Not only does she show her own work, has a blog, but she also promotes so many other designers. Her words of wisdom mean more to me than anything and I consider her more than just another designer. She is what friendship is all about. You can find her site at: http://grannyenchanted.com. If you have never been there, do make a stop .... you will just love it.

Hugs, Sue

I almost forgot the 4th of July

Oh my gosh ..... I just realized that I have not done a single July 4th wordart.  I'm bad!!!!!  Here's a quick one with all my apologies.  I just can't believe it is almost here and I just forgot.

Terrible, terrible .... afterall two of my grandsons are born of the same day, July 3rd.  Ryan is going to be 11 years old and Tristan is going to be 4 years old.

Here's a picture of the two boys.

Ryan

Tristan


Aren't they just cuties?  The oldest one is my second daughter, Angie's son and the youngest is my son, Drue's son.  Isn't it something that they are born on the same day.  Tristan was Ryan's birthday present.


Just got a call .... my ultra sound didn't come out to good.  Doctor called and they are scheduling an CT of my abdomen as soon as possible.  Now, I need to not worry!!!!!!  My pain is about the same, but tolerable.  I'm frustrated .... don't like doctors to start with or tests!!!!!

Hugs, Sue
