Well as you may know last Saturday was the used stamp sale. It was a huge success. We had the most stuff ever! And the buyers bought! So everybody was happy. It takes some doing to get ready for the sale and then the big day. I was looking forward to Sunday and a day to relax. Saturday night right after I got home my husband called me from work to say that he was on his way to the hospital. He thought he was having a heart attack!!!!! Oh brother!!!. Well the lab work confirmed that it was a heart attack... So he was schedule on Monday for a cardiac cath. That showed that his arteries were clean and wide open. Okay.... we say what is going on? After many more tests they finally decided that one of his cardiac arteries had gone into a spasm causing a lack of blood flow to the left side of his heart. The syndrome is called takotsubo. A Japanese doctor named it in the 1990s. The name means octopus pot. The bottom left of the heart swells out. When it does it looks like one of these pots that Japanese fishermen use to catch octopus!!!! The good news is that he will not have any negative effects from this. And it rarely happens twice. Whew! The funny thing is that it happens to menopausal women 90% of the time...And about 97% of the time it is seen only in Asian and Caucasian people.
I finally got to take him home last Tuesday. For the last two days I have been trying to catch up on the 4 days I spent in the hospitals(2 different ones).
It has been a week!

New stuff
Sorry I haven't posted in a while.
My trip to visit the grand kids was great. Trying to get home was trying....to say the least. The day I was to return, Charlotte got a snow storm. Most of the flights were cancelled. That was all right with me as that gave me one more night with the kids. The following day was just as trying. Only on that day it was mechanical problems.
The big news at the shop is we finally got in Ciao markers......they are the less expensive version of the Copic markers. I am on the list to be certified. So as soon as I am, I will be offering classes. I have been playing with them on my own. I am beginning to get the feel of them. And I must say the colors are wonderful.
We also have a small selection of cuttlebug embossing folders. I will be getting more. I also have pedal puffs. They are similar to flower soft and a whole lot cheaper. Besides all of that we have shimmer mist from tattered angels in various colors, new 12 x 12 papers,more stamps from Hero Arts and I now have some House Mouse stamps!!!!!
So even though I haven't posted, I have been busy.
I also want to remind you of the Spring Used Stamp Sale this coming Saturday, the 20th. 10 AM to 5 PM. We have gotten in some wonderful stuff all ready. You have till 5 PM Friday the 19th to drop off your items. Hope to see you soon.
