Lady Flowerbug Love


Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Thank you to all my followers this week for your lovely messages. I'm now in my 3rd week of this dreaded flu, I've been to the doctor and I'm on a full course of antibiotics and if that doesn't clear it up, I then have to finish it off with Prednisone what more does a girl want.
I did go out last week to a fundraiser movie night to a chick flick, Bad Mom's I so wish I wasn't sick because I could have laughed more, I was worried that if I laughed too much I would have a coughing fit and wouldn't be able to stop, which would annoy the hell out of everyone else and also weakens your bladder.  I would love to go and see it again once I'm better for even a better laugh.  
We also celebrated Liam's 17th birthday on Saturday, wow where have those years gone, he didn't want a birthday cake, but a triple chocolate cheesecake.  Which I must say myself it was rather yummy.

Well rats, Kathie. Being sick is no fun. I did admit to giggling a bit about the coughing fit and the bladder control. Ugh, that is the WORST thing about motherhood! I am sending warm wishes for improved health your way. Three weeks is too long for the flu. Liam's cheesecake looked amazing. I have a hard time getting my cheesecake not to crack. I'm too picky about how things look I suppose. I have to make another double batch of cookies today. I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to keep up with the demand of my three boys.

I love the pretty colors on your card this week (turquoise, pink and orange are gorgeous together) and your butterfly embellishment is super pretty too.

Oh Kathie, that cheesecake looks gorgeous, I could just eat a slice ( I am struggling with the diet at the moment- can you tell?)
Sorry that you are still under the weather, that's pants and I know exactly what you mean about the bladder lol!
I love your card this week, those papers are gorgeous and I love these flower images from Bugaboo. I think I'll have to have this one too.
Hugs

Kathie, this card is just stunning and amazing! Love the colors. I am so sorry that you had to go on Prednisone and I'm sure that affected your sleep, mood and wanted to make you eat everything in site. I just hope it does the trick to get rid of the crud you have. That cake looks so yummy and hope you had a wonderful celebration with Liam. It's amazing how fast they grow up. I will keep you in my prayers to feel better this week!!!
