hi everyone! my monthly giveaway is still on for the 7th!!

i have not forgotten you! it has just been a wild couple of weeks. my tendonitis has flared up again.
well... here is the info from my shop posting (it will save me some typing with my hand)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my tendonitis has returned with a vengeance :(
after a fairly quiet year of only occasional flare ups.
i have been through therapy, splints and cortisone shots
in hopes of preventing the next step but
my doctor says it may be time for surgery.
so i am on hand rest now.
 i have been in the habit of completing
 4-5 orders a day so
cutting back to 2 orders should help!
 so far, so good.
for those of you who are curious about my ailment  - there is a link!

the tendinitis has created what is called
“trigger finger” or “locking finger” shown in the top two videos.
and yes – it does hurt!
 (the real live illustrations in the link are not for the faint at heart)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so that is what is up with me :(
some of you remember that i had to clsoe my shop for 4 weeks last year when
the problem first reared its ugly head!
but
i went to the hand doctor this morning and got another cortisone shot.
he was ready to do the surgery - but i guess i am not.
the doctor said the shot will delay surgery for 6-7 weeks
and MAY heal the hand completely this time.
(but he has his doubts)

anyway........
the giveaway for the 7th is still on!!
so stay tuned. i will probably post it tomorrow.

thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!
cathy :)
