Crafty Ideas to Pass the time away

Song-Daydream

I'm having surgery today and I can't sleep again!!! 

 My surgery is at 4:00pm to fix my leaky Expander or as I would call it...my flat tire :/

So to pass the time till I get sleepy I was on Pinterest and thought I would share some cute things I saw.  When I downloaded them I thought they would have more descriptions...but I think you will get the idea. 

When I do each one I will post with a how to on each.  In the mean time enjoy the cute ideas : )

The socks on her legs are from adult knee highs socks...cute idea!

This piggy bank is made from plastic bottle, newspaper, Egg carton for the nose and feet and glue.  The nice thing about this bank is you actually have to cut it open to get into it!!!!

What a cute idea from an OLD SWEATER! You could probably add a hat too!  Easy!!!

Don't know what to do with those old Kleenex boxes...I thought this was funny! 

 I can see my grand daughter having fun with these!

What a great idea...they said add a sheet and your little house is all ready! 

 I may have to go to Home Depot!  The things you can do with PVC PIPES!

I think these pillows are the new in thing...this one is made from an old PROM DRESS.

This bed was made from a door...cute idea!

I thought this looked like a great idea...if your good with wood working.

Cindy I can totally see this in your playroom!! : )

Oh...how I wish I was this organized!!!

These should keep you busy for awhile!

Have fun!

I'm going to sleep now, gotta get some zzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Can't sleep...day before surgery!

Song- Love, Love, Love

Its the day before my surgery....and its 4:00 in the morning, woke up and can't go back to sleep.
  You would think I would get up and do something productive like clean my house or do some laundry, nope...that can wait till another day ; )


Just some fun things to look at that I liked:

Doesn't this make you want to go SHOPPING?

Cute HEADBOARD, maybe I will make it or buy it someday!

Love this HEADBOARD for teenagers or toddlers!  Write reminder notes or just their ABC's.

Just for fun, cause I thought they were cute : )

I think my mom knows how to make this ....I bet!!!  I need the tips..mom : )

I would like to make a large one to store toys in the livingroom.

Another cute idea for a HEADBOARD.

I think I shall get some rest now!

Funny how I was thinking mostly about HEADBOARDS...when I should have been sleeping?

Tissue Expanders

Song-Into each life some rain must fall

Well, its 3:30 in the morning and I cant sleep.  I think because I'm on so much medication they must all be conflicting???


 The name of my blog...It ain't all about the Ta Ta's came up because I found out I had breast cancer, but I also wanted to let other people know, its about cancer,..yes, but its also about things I love and enjoy, like my family, crafting, cooking, decorating or cloud in the sky that looks like a rabbit (only my kids will get that.) And it not just about the Ta Ta's.


 BUT....today it is about the Ta Ta's!  

  After my breast cancer surgery my doctor put in both my breast something called Tissue Expander's, these are to slowly stretch your skin until you get implants.  Never in my life I thought I would get these, cause I never really thought about it?   Pretty much cause I gave up on me....(long story!)

So each week I go in to see my plastic surgeon and he gives me a fill of saline solution in the expander, but the last couple times I have been noticing that one breast seem to be getting bigger than the other.  I thought okay, as long in the end the final product...the new Ta Ta's look good.  Because this is all new to me!
 So the last time I went he filled one side with one syringe and the other with two because I told him one seemed bigger.  So this last week I look down on my chest and I would say,  yep I'm still lop sided, thinking something is just not right?




So I had my appointment today for a fill, and he said right away I must have a leak and usually this happens to about 1% of patients,  its possible the expander did not close like it should or its possible he may have poked it when he did the fill?


 First let me tell you how much respect I have for this doctor for being completely honest with me!  I love the fact that it could have been any of those things and he did not have too much pride/ego to say its possible he may have done it.


 He could have easily said these things just happen when you put something foreign in your body!!!

Was I disappointed to have another surgery before my final surgery?....yes.   Do I have any regrets on doing a mastectomy?  Absolutely not!  Do I still love my DOCTOR?.....even more so, because he was so honest with me!!!! 


Don't get me wrong this did bum me out earlier,  I was thinking this crap just follows me around! :(

So right now I'm getting over a cold and trying to stay positive, thinking that this just goes with the territory! 

 Okay done with the self pity...time to move on and put on my big girl panties and realize this too shall pass and tomorrow is a new day!!!!

Holiday Festivities & Melt down

How cute are these cupcakes! add some red Cinnamon candies and its Xmas!

Song- Celebrate Me Home

Can't sleep so I thought I would post.  this past weekend was so nice,... but busy.

Our community had their holiday festivities... snow for the little kids, smores, cookies, sleigh rides, pictures with Santa, singing and beautiful lights in all the trees...I love where I live!!!! We were so busy I forgot about the boutique and I LOVE SHOPPING!!!  

 And bonus it was cold outside so it actually felt like Christmas!!  My two nieces and their husbands and kids came out it was good to see them,... I hope they had fun! 
 I know the kids probably did and heard they got a little snow in the pants for some good fun....way to go with those snow balls kids!!!!

 Here is a few pics of the weekend:

Pat, Tegan, Santa, Tensley & Camille

I love this pic...cause Tensley is posing for the pic already at 9 months old....just like her mommy!

 Ps. Thanks for the nice pic Teda....I loved it!!!!!  So sweet!  Your a sweetheart!

Thank you Teda....your a sweetheart!!

Next day woke up with a COLD! ..uggg!!   Thought I also needed to start doing some Xmas shopping even though I did not feel that great. 

 So as I was shopping,  I thought I would pick up some hair ties. 

 Even though I have bought a million of them, they are like socks...you always seem to lose them!  So as I hand the cashier my hair ties, I realized MY HAIR WILL PROBABLY BE GONE NEXT WEEK! 

So here comes the melt down!!!! 

Thank goodness the cashier understood, because her mother had breast cancer.  So she was very understanding to my little melt down!   

 It was not the only thing I was buying for my hair,..

..so would you call that a BLOND MOMENT OR CHEMO BRAIN?

 

 I think I will end my day with one of my favorite Christmas movies...:)
