Hello paper crafters! I’m here today to share Chic Candy 192 and an update on my health. Let’s start with chic candy…. it includes the following items:
- Decorative Trees Stamp Set
- Decorative Trees Dies
- Fabric Tray made by Angie

Congrats to our Chic Candy 191 winner, Margie Yasui. Please fill out my claim form so that I can ship your gift asap.
Now for the update on my health….the mass on my kidney is cancer and here’s some details:
- I’m having surgery on Monday, November 25th to remove the mass.
- It’s a 2-1/2 to 3 hour robotic surgery.
- The recovery… not sure but I will not be working for a few weeks (maybe more).
- Chic n Scratch live will not happen on November 26th and December 3rd. I will try to do something easy on December 10th if all goes well.
I have zero pain tolerance… so I’m a bit worried!!
I’m not an ideal person so not being able to do anything is going to be difficult. Maybe I’ll finally learn how to crochet (and remember how afterwards) – but pain meds usually mess with me!!
I will worry about not working and missing important emails so I need your help!!! If you need something – please use my helpdesk email! My inbox is so full of spam I struggle finding important emails. I wish there was a way to unsubscribe to all that stuff (believe me I’ve tried and they just add me right back).

And, last but not least I appreciate all your patience & prayers!! ❤️
