LIFE AND DEATH

Let me just start of by saying there is nothing in the world that will scare you more or make you feel as helpless as watching your child bleed to death in your arms and not be able to do one damn thing about it.
  There was no where to put a tourniquet, no way to heroically take of my shirt and apply it to the wound to stop the bleeding, there was nothing to be done except hold her as her life drained away down her legs and into a pool on the seat and whisper words of comfort and i love yous as my husband drove 85 mph to the closest hospital.
**********fair warning******* this is going to be long and graphic.
My daughter, Kelsie, just turned 14 on may 12th. end of the year sporting activities had kept us from having her sleepover party until this weekend, but now she needs rest and chillaxin'. so no party, but i am just so thankful she is here for me to be able to reschedule it instead of cancelling it.
Wensday my 2cnd daughter Kiara had her end of the year band concert, a pretty big deal and as she has had to suffer through all of Kelsie's football games, Kelsie needed to suffer thru her sisters concert. in reality I should have been taking Kelsie to the hospital right then, but i didn't know it was that bad. I am talking about her period, she had started on her way home from school. She told me it was heavy and that she had bled thru and she wasnt feeling good. no biggie you just have to sit in a chair for a couple hours nothing stressful take some motrin cause your going. She was being all drama queen or so i thought. i told her to go get cleaned up. Hubs comes home and asked me what happened in the bathroom cause there was blood everywhere (ok now he is being a drama queen) "kels go clean up your mess"..... so concert concert concert..... Kiara is amazing, i am cheering, Kelsie and Kiara decided to walk home cause i am going to stop at the grocery store for dinner. pull up in the drive and Kiara runs out saying Kelsie needs the overnight pads cause she used all the regular and it's heavy. So back to the store. Get the pads go into the bathroom to give them to her and its like a scene from a slasher movie, no drama queen, not kidding, there was blood and gore everywhere and i look in the shower and there is just a lake of blood and i see it just gushing out of her. i tell her to get dresses we are going to the hospital. She step out of the tub, her eyes roll back in her head and as i try to catch her, the momentum is to much and she passes out hitting her head on the toilet. Inside i freak, outside i try not too. i run as fast as i can screaming for Shad, he comes running, i tell him to get Kelsie we have to go to the hospital now. we both run back up stairs, i am looking for something to cover her in, he has the same thought, i go to grab my robe he goes to grab a towel she is left standing alone, as we both run back to her, her eyes roll up in her head again but this time she turns a white as paper a there is a loud splash of blood hitting the floor and as she collapses HE is there to catch her. this is not his first time, he had to do the same thing with me when my placenta detached with Kiara and he saved Kelsie from going headfirst into the fire pit when she was one, HE is my hero. I of course am talking about Shad, my husband Kelsie's dad. He scoops her up and puts her in the backseat, i crawl in the other side and hold her, the blood is still pouring out, she is worried her dad is going to be mad, he is driving like a bat out of hell, cutting thru parking lots, blowing yellowish lights, i swear they weren't red but i wouldnt have cared if they were. her eyes roll back once again and she goes limp, i am smacking her in the face and screaming her name, she was out for a good 90 seconds that time. She starts asking me about death, i tell her she is not going to die that i love her that she has to stay with me, i refuse to answer her questions, because even tho i see it happening i can not bear it, i can not give into it. So i just keep repeating my I love you because its so very important to for her to know, i keep telling her to stay with me. I am stroking her hair and watching the puddle grow larger. we pull up to the E.R. i grab a wheelchair, she puts her in i am the driver now, like a bat outta hell, i scream for a doctor, and for a blood transfusion type A+, i scream again for a doctor, no one is coming, they tell me to sign a form, i sign they ask more questions, i dont have time for this, they put the plastic armbands on. they take a stage 4 lung cancer patient back who is having trouble breathing, i am pissed. There is nothing that can be done for her and you need to save my baby (i know harsh and mean but this is my baby). finally we are back in a room, they are asking more questions, putting in an i.v., asking more questions, taking blood (are you crazy she has no blood left to give). She is white and cold her lips are blue, i am beyond freaked out on the inside. They poke and prod and ask more questions. They get her "stable". They tell me they can not treat her there, they have no gynecology or pediatric departments. the are transferring us to main. ok, we wait for the ambulance. we get to main, we must answer the questions again, she is still bleeding so heavy, they say her blood count has dropped from 9 to 7 if it goes any lower they will have to do a transfusion. i say do it, if it saves her then do it. i have not left her side i have held her cold pale hand the whole time. i refuse to leave her. i pull the 3 hard plastic chairs next to her bed, i lay across them holding her hand telling her to sleep, she needs her rest. they have a team of gynocologists come in and examine her, they boost her i.v. and start her on iron pills and move her to the birthing center so they can monitor her and her treatment. they start birth control pills 3x a day, we are in a nice room now with a fold out chair. she tells me to sleep, i pull the chair next to her bed and hold her hand and we sleep. color is coming back she can talk in normal sentences.  her blood levels are still too low but rising we are at 7.6. more iron more b.c. more i.v. she can have food. it continues all day thursday and all night. steady improvement. friday they are saying we can go home, she wants to leave, she can walk and talk and text. They say and iron transfusion and then she can go. Its an 8 hour total procedure, so we begin, we have breakfast and lunch together. i take a walk to the cafeteria with her dad and have dinner. by 10p.m. my baby girl is back and we are on our way home. They saved my baby.
The condition she has http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/menorrhagia/basics/causes/con-20021959
in her case its extreme, she will have to stay on birth control and will have to be closely monitored by her doctor when she tries to have a baby in the FAR future, but otherwise she will be just fine.

in the e.r.

on the mend

going home

I love my "J_O_B"

Ok ok so it's not technically a job, i don't get paid or anything, but man i love crafting. And when cool sponsors like Etch-all, and My super awesome design team leader's product are involved well it just makes it all the more awesome. Now let me ask you this, Do you love pickles? I like pickles but i don't love them, now my Daughter kiara on the other hand would eat pickles for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am always buying a jar when I am at the store. So I have a million pickle jars in all different sizes, I decided to alter one up for you good people.

and when it's filled up with candy corn it's going to look even awesomer.  Let me tell ya what we got going on here. First I cut out the spider on my cricut, used the Oct 31 cart, then I put the positive image on my jar. Put a border of tape around it to get the square shape, then put etch-all , all in the square. Waited the 15 minutes rinsed it off then painted the etched part with black alcohol ink. Let it dry and then peeled the tape and spider image off. I know you can't see it real good, but it took some orange ruffle ribbon and hot glued it all around the top of the jar. Then, remember that box-pleated ribbon rose we made? well this is the same thing only using ruffle ribbon, takes less than 5 minutes to make this flower.Then I put a piece of angela's gorgeous bling in the middle. I then inked up some white leaves and flowers and put them on.See the little scroll type bits? That's a corner piece from Miriams that I cut in half. The little chain bit is from Mirams too, and so are the stick pins I made. Easy peasy, done. So now I want to see what you can do. Make a jar and leave me the link in the comments. or Post on my Facebook fan page. I love seeing others get creative. Now you say oh well I don't have the stuff to make it. well not to worry I have all the linkys you need to get supplies.

DT project

Oh boy Oh boy!!! School is once again upon us and Halloween is fast approaching, before you know it we will be buried in snow... YUCK.  But right now is the time we make our Halloween projects, so that their done in time for decorating, right? Well me and my Design Team Sista, Rhonda are doing just that, getting a little jump start. First lets fill you in a bit. Y'all know i am a design team member for Angela Holt's Designs and we have a really cool sponsor, Etch-all, you will remember them from my last post, and we also all like to buy some bits and pieces from Mirams crafting supply. I will provide all the links at the bottom. And let me tell you, you can make some really cool stuff.  so you ready for my project? of course you are.

So here it is. My super spooky mirror. HaHa. Purple and green have become a staple among halloween and color combo's in general. Which happens to be Kelsie's bedroom colors. So this mirror can do a double service. If I wanted to use it for Halloween I could put some orange and black candles on it and lay it on a table or something, but since my kid is a weirdo i made it for her. Lol. The mirror was just a brown wood mirror that her gramma had found in the attic and gave to her, (score for a free supply), and I took a bit of the leftover green I had from painting her room and painted the wood. Then I cut out the skull on my cricut (this is off the indie art cart), on vinyl. Put the negative on my mirror and put the Etchall on the negative. waited, washed the Etchall off and bam, skull on my mirror. Now I took some bit and pieces I got at miriam's and hot glued them on. The 3 corners and the metal scrolly thing in the middle, Stuck a piece of Angela's bling on that part. Then i made up a bow, inked up some flowers and glued them on and stuck a little tiny clock there, and made some stick pins and put them on, both also from Miriams. and done.... Kelsie of course went crazy when she saw it, I am the coolest mom ever. And yeah, i am cool with that title :)

Now for some linkys for places for you to visit so you can get your own supplies to make one.

Design Team project.

it's that time for me again  i got a totally yummy post for you today. 2 yes 2 projects. both so very simple, yet so very cute.
First is a hair clip i made for my daughter, Khloe. i know i am always making stuff for her, but she is the only one who will still let me lol.

Look how cute cute cute that is. and i swear it only takes like 5 minutes.
Supplies:
box pleated ribbon, any color around 13 inches
bling from Angela Holts bling splendor collection, that you can get here: http://www.shopangelaholtdesigns.com/
a few feathers
a bit of lace
barrette
a piece of cardstock
hot glue
pearl strands

Instructions:
take your box pleated ribbon and wrap it around your finger, pinch it together and pull it off, get a ton of hot glue on the bottom, stick it to the cardstock and kinda smoosh it out. hot glue the lace around the bottom onto the cardstock. glue your bling in the center. glue in your feathers and pearl strands. trim the cardstock as close to the edge of the ribbon as you can. put hot glue onto the bottom of the cardstock and stick it onto the barrette. and you're done. see only 5 minutes. now since we all know i suck at directions i am going to give you a video to watch.

now hold on dont go anywhere yet. i got a second project for you.
a wine glass. so super easy.
supplies:
wine glass
Etch-All
ribbon
some of angela holts bling

It says "got kids?" on it which i thought was funny. so anyways heres what you wanna do.

Instructions:

ok first you want to take your wine glass and make sure its clean. Then you want to get a template/cutout made of self stick vinyl. and stick it onto the glass where you want it. make sure all the air bubbles are out and its all nice and smooth. now take your Etch-All and put it all over the  area with no vinyl even going over the edges a bit. let it sit for 15-20 minutes then rinse it off and peel off your vinyl and wash it again really good. dry it off. tie some ribbon on the stem and hot glue some bling on the and bam you're done. easy peasy right.

so now its your turn. and remember you can upload your creations to:

 http://theblingchronicles.ning.com/

where you can see more of mine, and my design team sisters, and other members cool projects.

DIY toilet paper roll bracelet challenge

Yep i know what you are thinking, fashion at its highest. But, I swear its super cute. What a toilet paper roll made out of, just cardboard, but because it's already round it makes for making a super cute cuff. So here's a supply list you will need:
some lace
a t.p. roll
Angela Holt's Bling
ribbon
and hot glue
and some felt or cotton bunting or something soft
plus a center decoration
and a needle and thread (don't panic its just a bit)
My instruction and going to suck but bear with me cause all will be revealed by the end.
Now what you are going to do is take your t.p. roll and cut a strip out of the middle, then cut it to the thickness you want. I am tiny so I only wanted it about 1 1/2 inches thick.Second step is to sew 2 pieces of ribbon to the edges of the cardboard, you will want them long enough to be able to tie and make sure their as lined up even as you can get them. Next step is to hot glue your felt/bunting/something soft to the back. This is to keep the cardboard from chaffing your arm and prevent the ribbon from irritating you. now trim the felt up all nice and pretty so its even with the card board. Now you are going to take your lace and hot glue it in strips on the top,all nice and even. Then hot glue on your center and your bling. I used my bling on the sides, kinda looking like buttons that hold the tie in place or cufflinks or something. This is a super fun super easy project and once my girls saw it they were fighting over who gets to have it. So I am going to have to make more.



This is the tutorial I used to make it. See very little stitching so you can do it.
And this is the one that I made. My lovely wrist model is Khloe.

This is the top

This is the underneath. See how I used the bling as kinda like a cufflink thingy on the side.

Now I want to see yours. Make your cuff and upload it to http://theblingchronicles.ning.com

and you can buy the best bling around, here at this link http://www.shopangelaholtdesigns.com/

Rhonda Ratliff

Hello there!!… Rhonda here, from Kentucky and I thought I'd share a little bit about ME!… I am married to the greatest guy in the world and have four awesome kids... all of which are grown now which has allowed me the opportunity to do more crafting. I have been crafting since about the 4th grade when my teacher showed me how to work with oil pastels in art class... from there it has been a little bit of everything. Till I found a love for creating cards and invitations, floral design and my new passion in altered art. I have been blogging about a awhile now... and LOVE IT!I have had a wonderful time meeting new people, learning many awesome techniques and been given many great opportunities. The crafting world has opened many adventurous doors for over the last year and I am loving every minute of it.

Hi all you Bling Chronicles fans! I am so thrilled to be a DT member for Angela and can’t wait to share all my blinged out art work with you. First let me tell you a little about who I am as a designer and crafter.
I grew up in the military and traveled around a lot. We relied heavily on our family for entertainment as such. My dear sweet mother loved to craft and taught us all kinds of different mediums. She taught my sisters how to sew, though I never caught that bug and can’t sew a straight stitch! She painted and tried to teach us a love for drawing, I’m not very good at that either LOL. She taught us ceramics, macramé, ornament making, and all sorts of other crafty goodness. I was very blessed to grow up with a creative mom.
My dad could fix or make anything. He passed some of those genes on to me and last year I created a whole new back yard complete with a waterfall feature, covered bar with an outdoor refrigerator and grilling area, and a slate and glass tiled patio surface. A little assistance was given by my family when I needed an extra set of hands but basically I created it on my own. I think I burned the satellites out with all the calls for advice to my dad.
I have two fabulous (most of the time) children ages 20 and 17 who are both talented artists in their own right. I've always tried to encourage that as I think it’s a corner stone in life. It saddened me to see schools pulling art out of the curriculum as it really enhances education and just your view on life in general. I feel lucky to be able to help my kids still have that outlet at home. I also have a 10 month old foster grandchild who consumes a lot of my time but I am loving it! She’s such a sweet baby.
What I’m trying to say is that I LOVE to craft, anything, anywhere, anytime! I don’t have a particular specialty necessarily, but crafting with paper is my favorite medium.
Thanks so much for giving me the chance to share with you and I hope you enjoy looking at, and maybe getting some inspiration from, my pieces. You can find more of my art by visiting my blog, A Look Through My Eyes found at http://alookthroughmyeye.blogspot.com 
Enjoy a crafty life,
Deb Ochs-LaGrone

Dawn Smith

I am a sahm ( Stay at home MOM) with a ton of kids.4 from a previous marriage, 2 step and 3 from my current marriage. Yes I am a little insane, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I have 2 dogs (they are pitbull/bullmastiff mixes) Cin and Tink and we have 2 Tortoises named Neptune and Turk and about 20 fish all named after Harry Potter characters. My husband, Shad, is the love of my life and the heart of my existence, without him there would be no me. We have been together for 14 years. We have survived the good and the bad and it has only brought us closer together. I have a serious scrapbooking addiction, I guess that also mean I have a photo obsession too because i have to have something to scrap, right?! My kids all insist that they are being followed by the paparazzi. They joke about taking out a restraining order against me. Happy crafting
