~ Fairy Good Day ~
September 16th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good afternoon 
I am beginning to think I have been cursed. Nah, I really don’t believe in such things. I do believe in fate, though, and right now fate is dealing me an ugly hand.
I just wanted to stamp today. It’s been days. I had a doctor appointment at 8am and figured I would be home by 9am and ready to stamp the day away. I had already seen the SCS sketch challenge, so I kept that in my head the whole time I was on my way to the doctor’s office.
Then the bomb dropped. My bloodwork from last week was a bit off. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. Then they took my blood pressure. YIKES! To make a long story short, I left the doctor’s office with a diagnosis of onset diabetes and high blood pressure. Two new prescriptions later, my whole day was sent in another direction.
I spent some time researching diabetic diets and exercise programs. I did just enough to depress myself. So I went up to stamp instead. That always makes me feel better :). I jumped on SCS after I was finished and just by chance took another look at the sketch for today. My card is wrong. *sigh*
I am not going to sweat it though. I still like it This little fairy from There She Goes‘ Fairy Good Day set is just a little darling. I covered her wings in stickles and added some to the flowers as well. I also love this new Basic Grey Lemonade paper!!
So, here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes‘ Fairy Good Day
Colors: GP White, Riding Hood Red, Crushed Curry and Basic Grey Lemonade dp
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics
Accessories: candy dots, label 3 nesties, stickles, dimensionals, scissors

It looks great Holly! love the sparkly wings.
This is just adorable!! I love it.
Isn’t this the cutest?? Darling card!!
I have all sorts of recipes and stuff if you are interested. My dad is a diabetic and I went to the dr. the 1st of the month to do a check for me so I could nip it in the bud! Working on weight and exercise - go back the 25th to see what progress I have made!
OH! She is DARLING Holly!! LOVE the stickles you added to her wings! Hope you feel better sweets!
CUTE card! Sorry about the news- but you can get it under control and be healthy! {{{HUGS}}}
Darling card, Holly, even if it doesn’t follow the sketch!!
Sorry about the news….you can get rid of the meds by exercising and watching what you eat (cheaper too!). I just love watching the Biggest Loser and seeing how so many of the participants get off their meds by doing just that. Wish I lived closer, I’d come by and be your walking buddy
This is such a sweet card, Holly! I am sorry to hear about your health issues. Diabetes is such a bummer! Once you get over the whole diet change thing, you will find that you are going to feel sooooo much better. It’s hard but I know you can do it! Hugs to you!
((Hugs)) Holly!! I am so sorry about the docs visit. I to have high blood pressure, and some slight cholesterol issues…exercise is what he told me to do…I think I need to make a no stamping until I exercise rule…maybe that would be the motivation I need. LOL!!
Your card is just so sweet…love the little fairy!!
