hi.

Hi everyone!!


Its that time again. Back to school and back to it. I am really glad summer is over. I love the extra time with my kiddo but its nice to be back to a schedule. Sorry I have been quiet, I have had allot of doctor appointments lately for my back. Trying to find help for my back but so far I haven't had much luck. But I am not giving up yet.

My girl started 6th grade this year, so proud of her. She was so nervous that morning. It was so cute.

Just wanted to give a little update and let you know im here. :) My blog will be busy, busy now that break is over and I am doing more working at home. And I have some BIG news coming soon to share with you. Also some new sponsors will be jumping on board so I can do some sweet givaways soon.
I hope you all enjoyed your summer!!! I wish I could have enjoyed it a little more but with my back issues I had to stay behind most of the time. But I still had fun. We took a few trips to Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Fran, the beach and more. It was great to get away. 
I would love to know how your summer was!? Leave me a note, I love to hear from you all. I am so ready to get back on track and excited for whats to come and I cant wait to share it with you all.
:) :) Have a fabulous week! Jenny Suchin

Update and News!

Hi everyone! I have missed you all. As you can see I have been on a bit of a hiatus while things are crazy for me right now. I have had 2 surgeries for my back, called a "Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection" ... the first one didn't take so we did a second one last Friday. I don't know if that will take just yet. Also some other personal things have been happening with myself and my family so I have been dealing with those as well. My Dad has had surgery twice for his heart but hes finally doing much better now.
I also took a trip a couple weeks ago down to Arizona to meet with some amazing people!!
And now I can spill the beans and say ...

I will be working for SPELLBINDERS!! (: (:I'm so excited for this new adventure!!It will be a bit before I have everything to share with you but be on the lookout for all the great things to come!!! (: (: (:
....
I am hoping with the last shot I had in my back that I will be feeling better soon and will have some great things and exciting news coming soon!! :) :) Stay tuned! And prayers or healing thoughts are truly appreciated! 
Have a great week! :)Jenny

News on the Home-front and a GIVEAWAY!

HI EVERYONE!!
Its SO nice to be back!!
If you follow my Facebook, you will know that I have been having MAJOR blogger issues for 3 weeks. I am FINALLY back in and able to make a post! I am SO glad to be back. I have missed doing my posts and visiting blogs and commenting!!
During this time I also have been having some health issues along with my daughter. I was extremely tired for over a month now. I finally went to the doctor and found out I am extremely anemic. Now that I am on Iron supplements I am feeling like myself again. All I was doing was sleeping and eating and thats about it. I wasn't living at all. I am so glad to finally get an answer and be able to get back to LIFE! Then this past week my daughter came down with a terrible cough. I took her to the Urgent care to find out whats going on, the DR said she has Croup. She is now on two inhalers and is doing MUCH better. So with that said I am looking forward to a much better 2012!!!

Isn't it CUTE! Just in time for Valentines day! What do you think?

If you haven't seen, I have had new sets release over at The Craft's Meow!! I hope you love them and will check them out!! We will be releasing another batch of new stamps in February!!! You are going to LOVE them!! So head over to TCM HERE and check them out. Shes also having an inventory clearance sale on non TCM stamps and other goodies. Check it out!
I can't wait to get some posts ready and share what I have been working on!! Be on the lookout!!
----> Plus I haven't had a giveaway for awhile and thought, what a better time than NOW to have one to ring in the New Year!!! Leave a comment and let me know what you would like to see for NEW stamps in 2012 and I will draw one winner on Friday for a SURPRISE PRIZE PACKAGE that will include some great stamps!!! ;)
----> PS: If you help me reach 1000 Wee Memories Facebook Fans I will be doing another HUGE giveaway!!! Spread the word!! Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by!! I can't WAIT to get back in the swing of things and I am hoping and praying for a great 2012!!! I hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Many blessings to you and yours for a great 2012!!!

On a personal note, the first day of school for my daughter, she tripped and fractured her ankle. So she had to have a splint put on and we are waiting on a referral to the Orthopedic doctor. Hopefully they will call today and they can put a cast on her. Poor kid, already injured and school just started. :\ And also my hubby was cut off in traffic and he fractured his knee and tore a muscle. So needless to say its been a little crazy around here with my injury, my daughters and my husbands injury. I hope and PRAY we get some good luck coming our way soon! Thank you for those that have emailed me and sent cards, I appreciate them very much!! :)

Hope you all have a wonderful week! :) :) :)

Exciting News to Share!!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a lovely weekend. I spent the weekend catching up on things for the challenge, my designs and lots more. Also tried resting my back too. Lots of movie watching happened this weekend :) but I enjoyed the quiet time with my husband, it was nice.

As you know I started designing stamps for The Craft's Meow, and will be doing more designing for other companies soon. So ... I started a Facebook page and I would LOVE if you would come and "LIKE" my page if you are on Facebook. You can find my page HERE. PLEASE help me spread the word, and for your help I am giving away one of my sets that I designed for The Craft's Meow!! Check out the Facebook page for more details!! Thank you so much!! Also, if you don't have a facebook page I would LOVE if you would add my Design Logo to your page or share it on your blog (you can grab the code on the sidebar), and you too can enter the giveaway by just leaving me a comment here letting me know you shared it. I will be drawing a winner on August 31st!

Thank you all and I hope you have a great week!!

News to share

Hi everyone!! Hope this post find you all well!! :) :) I just wanted to update you all about me and share some things. I re-injured my back today getting out of the shower. I was washing my bathroom rugs so there was nothing on my tile floor for me to step on coming out of the shower and I slipped and twisted my back, ankle and knee! :( Just when I was starting to feel better! So, im home again trying to heal and while im healing im working around here getting caught up. These pain meds make me ridiculously drowsy so I am trying to keep my eyes open too! :\ So needless to say I have been resting today and doing things in between when I feel ok enough.

And in other news, for the challenges we will be back to weekly challenges starting in September, YAY! So stay tuned for lots of fun things happening here soon!! We have some great new sponsors and challenges coming your way and we are planning some giveaways for the upcoming holidays. And just incase you all didn't notice on Saturdays challenge post, I had to stop doing the random winners. It was getting too costly for me with prizes and shipping. Sorry I had to make that decision but we had to tighten our belt these past couple months and I had to make the tough choice. But when I do have extra prizes I will do some random giveaways for you all. :)

Anyone who hasn't gotten an email from me about your prize, please re-email me. I have emailed everyone who I have gotten an email from claiming your prize. So if your not hearing from me then its not on my end or I am not getting your emails. Make sure to put in the subject line what you are writing about. Sometimes emails go into spam and I don't check the spam because I have gotten viruses before from that. If you still cant reach me, please email my DT coordinator, Laurel Seabrook at laurelseabrookATshaw.ca (replace AT with @).

AND THE BEST NEWS FOR LAST!!! We have almost reached 1500 followers! What a milestone! When we reach it, I will be doing a HUGE giveaway with Stamps, Ribbon, Paper and Embellishments!! So help us reach it faster and spread the word to all your crafty friends!!

Thank you to all of you for being so patient during my recovery. I really appreciate it!!
Have a wonderful week! :) :) :)

Those waiting on emails and packages from me, I will be clearing my inbox and mailing packages this week. So just hang with me a little longer and I will answer you this week. Thanks for being so patient while im going through some issues with my health.

And just an update on me if you didn't see it in the post below. I am doing a ton better, some days are worse than others like today its really bothering me. I go to therapy tomorrow so hopefully that will help allot, it sure helped last week. I see the specialist next month, have to wait because they are booked solid. Managing my pain with meds, rest and therapy until my specialist appointment. I finally was actually able to craft a little last night which felt good to do, I miss my craft room. I hope to get back to crafting bit by bit, slowly but surely!! I miss it. But after work and sitting at the office as long as I can then coming and sitting again is not what I want to do. I have been working on my stamp designs off and on as I try to sit a little here and there at the computer, I cant wait for you all to see them in August!! :D So excited!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and prayers! You all are so sweet and I read each message!! If you want more up to date updates on me you can always find me updating my Facebook (so easy to do from my phone in bed lol) ... you can send me a friend request HERE.
