A little side note I left hip hop last night because I was swelling in my ankles and feet and so I went to the ER. They said because my heart isnt beating right because it is too fast the fluids were going to my legs and down. They ran some more tests and got ahold of a endocrinologist that gave me a temporary medication to lessen the hormones coming out of my thyroid. So I hope they work for now. Sorry I missed the rest of hip hop! thanks for sticking with me through this journey!

Dont forget massive World record blog hop for Unity!!!!!! tomorrow!!

Hi All!
My doctor confirmed my fears, I do have hyperthyroidism. My thyroid is over active. My symptoms have not been relieved yet and I am waiting for an appointment with a specialist in endocrinology. I appreciate SO much all the well wishes and hugs! I know I will get better and get over these tough times. I dont like taking meds but I know these will help me feel better day to day, because right now I feel horrible.

Sorry I have been MIA again, I went to the doctor friday and I have a swollen thyroid, I have been suffering from shakes, headaches, stomach issues and the last couple weeks I have had a steady heart beat over 110 beats a minute. I dont have the test results back yet and I have been scouring the internet for some answers and the symptoms fit Graves disease... I am hoping deep down that all the syptoms are unrelated and it is just an infection or something. I will call the dr tomorrow for the results and probably head right back to the dr. Any movement makes me out of breathe and my heart to race faster.

Twilight Tuesday #22

Hi all!! Twilight Tuesday is here once again!! Number 22! rebecca gave us the challenge today and it is all about Bella's birthday party, you know the one where Jasper almost ate her? :) Good fun! I love Stephenie meyer's descriptive explanation of Alice's decorations! I love pink!!

"We were pulling up to the house now. Bright light shined from every window on the first two floors. A long line of glowing Japanese lanterns hung from the porch eaves, reflecting a soft radiance on the huge cedars that surrounded the house. Big bowls of flowers - pink roses - lined the wide stairs up to the front doors.
They were all waiting in the huge white living room; when I walked through the door, they greeted me with a loud chorus of "Happy Birthday, Bella!" while I blushed and looked down. Alice, I assumed, had covered every flat surface with pink candles and dozens of crystal bowls filled with hundreds of roses. There was a table with a white cloth draped over it next to Edward's grand piano, holding a pink birthday cake, more roses, a stack of glass plates and a small pile of silver-wrapped presents.
It was a hundred times worse than I'd imagined." New Moon Stephenie Meyer

Here is the challenge straight from Rebecca, "New Moon opens with Bella's 18th birthday and Alice is in full party mode. Most people dread turning 30 or 40, but Bella dreaded turning 18 - mostly since that meant she was "older" than Edward. For the Cullens, they were excited - the last birthday they had ever "celebrated" was Emmett's many decades earlier.
This week's challenge is to create a birthday themed item - you're welcome to draw inspiration from the party or just go with "birthday"."

Go to Twilight Tuesday and check out the amazing inspiration!! Thanks rebecca for an awesome challenge!!

My card is pink and silver (thanks for the dp Margie!) and I used rhinestones for the crystal flower holders and my sentiment says "Endings&beginnings cherish every moment". For bella to me it seemed very much the ending of her mortal life, she was already in the plans to make her life immortal and join edward forever, and the beginning of a new wonderful life. Her birthday ended in disaster that night and in turn caused Edward to leave (New moon was a hard book to get through the first time) but this horrible time helped Edward to fight his urges to eat Bella!
Here it is...

Stamps Used: Feb KOTM-Unity
Papers Used: silver dp from Twilight tuesday winnings, pink pirouette, whisper white SU
Ink Used: Basic Black SU, versamark
Accessories Used: Michaels rhinestones, pink pirouette ribbon, clear embossing powder SU

Twilight Tuesday Inspiration challenge #21

Happy Tuesday....Oops It isnt tuesday anymore is it?! :)
Yay its March and that means new Twilight Tuesday challenges!!
I love all the gals over there! I won the prize for Feb challenges so I am so excited! YOU could win it next time! Play along with all the challenges in March and get your name in the hat!


This week Margie picked the Inspiration challenge and it is Renee!

Comment Portion: What do you care most about the “Mommy(s)” in your life (Moms, Sisters, Daughters, etc.) and/or do you have a similar relationship to someone like Bella and her Mom’s relationship?
I always wished I had a closer relationship with my mother, i hope to be a fun, hip mom when my girls get bigger! I love how renee and bella share things a bit and seem to be closer in age than reality. I can see bellas view from being the one in charge, being myself a much older sibling I have a protective stance on my siblings and want to take care of them whenever I can.

Craft Portion: Create a Twilight project dedicate to “The Mom” in your life!

I created this card because the girls night out seems like something that might have happened alot before bella moved to Forks. Renee seems fun and someone who likes to party, but a good party that bella could have fun at too!

Stamps used: Jan KOTM-Unity Stamp Co
Papers Used: Chocolate chip, whisper white, tangerine tango, baja breeze SU
Ink Used: Versamark
Accessories Used: Rub ons K&Co
Thanks for stopping by!!
Go Visit twilight tuesday and play along!! I know YOU love twilight too!!
