If you don't have this collection - you really do NEED it! It is so versatile and so fun to play with! I purchased mine from Michelle at <b><a href="https://mylittlescrapbookstore.com/search?q=fernwood" target="_blank">My Little Scrapbook Store</a></b> - a great family run online business - you should check her out - <b><a href="https://mylittlescrapbookstore.com/search?q=fernwood" target="_blank">Here is a link </a></b>to what she has left in the store - and once it is gone - it is gone - so don't miss out!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I added lots of handwriting in addition to the card I journaled on. I am so happy I was able to "DOCUMENT" this wonderful visit we had with my friend Krista, who I met through Instagram. We had been "Insta-friends" for years, as we both have/had Portuguese Water Dogs. Krista's dogs have since passed over the Rainbow Bridge, but she has a few other 4 footed friends who's adventures she share on Instagram as Ticaperrita - you should follow her, if you don't already!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Krista is a wonderful and caring Doctor at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. When she heard about my husband Phil's massive heart attack back in August of 2021, she reach out to me and helped me through many very difficult days. Just knowing she was there - just a phone call or text message away, to be my sounding board, and second opinion was a true blessing. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When our nephew was married in Ohio, this past July, we were able to arrange an in person get together at her home and more importantly an in person ((HUG!)) We also got to meet her 3 amazing pigs, Ms. Zumi, Stanley T, and Cleveland. Her Tortoise Ms. Marion Louise was in her specially built outside summer house, but we got to peak at her and say hello. Mr. Dewy Lewis, her little rescue dog was so cute and cuddly too! It was a wonderful day, and I think the 3 piggies enjoyed the watermelon we brought for them to snack on too!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few close ups. I inked all my edges with Ranger Ink Black Soot. Everything else on the layout is from the Fernwood Collection, except for the paper twine, and an older Vicki Boutin script stencil that I used on the left side of the layout.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVsDoZFsctYFiTLFL_Cn3Xj_Ks1Szv2vzbpayiimv176U5BlH-ZHh4R9DCU6_6Lbuvu4VVnjZKVZav7lXTN3rZqjfgMej8HhPec49VbEDAJL2G6UwM3cKjMHlxxoALdECJiyogYk52fqW-uf1LXOk905QLKimIFFf3TqLpXTcvVwIl5OSo8LBWOVowlg/s3955/IMG_1086.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2966" data-original-width="3955" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVsDoZFsctYFiTLFL_Cn3Xj_Ks1Szv2vzbpayiimv176U5BlH-ZHh4R9DCU6_6Lbuvu4VVnjZKVZav7lXTN3rZqjfgMej8HhPec49VbEDAJL2G6UwM3cKjMHlxxoALdECJiyogYk52fqW-uf1LXOk905QLKimIFFf3TqLpXTcvVwIl5OSo8LBWOVowlg/w640-h480/IMG_1086.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_c8e0pfIPsvXE4Bx0ocUGkeyN2HAEihqNiegEwKHE01VRxdNlllRkhIeuxjtpXtlp-9kMnL_VMyGmUBX5PBZ27-RojrUGOugONVZgZKpwFryJGtC9nCtOqS4g_X_QkaKCGQOXwmsGtEbQyxpo05XBJKSpu_Uu49tTavSSdyCES6TPBdt20BlArSC_-w/s4032/IMG_1087.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_c8e0pfIPsvXE4Bx0ocUGkeyN2HAEihqNiegEwKHE01VRxdNlllRkhIeuxjtpXtlp-9kMnL_VMyGmUBX5PBZ27-RojrUGOugONVZgZKpwFryJGtC9nCtOqS4g_X_QkaKCGQOXwmsGtEbQyxpo05XBJKSpu_Uu49tTavSSdyCES6TPBdt20BlArSC_-w/w640-h480/IMG_1087.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZZBQq4uLEGKChvndUlkMN0g6PXbCj2I1MGNqYGAm2XwvyLx9I7Aq4OeWdmp1DKS1BJgX8gRIFxAap5Mc8AZVs_Jnww8svbR1D7v10O21sx8wc3UlekT9kihY5MQ8SFidPy-15MJ19bXK5bfnLVpdaxEOFs-2ORd4loMS62k1zPvRURseKyUcKP-6QQ/s4032/IMG_1088.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZZBQq4uLEGKChvndUlkMN0g6PXbCj2I1MGNqYGAm2XwvyLx9I7Aq4OeWdmp1DKS1BJgX8gRIFxAap5Mc8AZVs_Jnww8svbR1D7v10O21sx8wc3UlekT9kihY5MQ8SFidPy-15MJ19bXK5bfnLVpdaxEOFs-2ORd4loMS62k1zPvRURseKyUcKP-6QQ/w640-h480/IMG_1088.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlNuI942rOMTx_WCuOI20_l6_x2TsB9VxT7swc27Wqc7vBnXbgkhUJ5ver15EqZrJV-l6v5R2kDHaZX_tPZvinaBD88Pkhf-owreslAlHguyOCA_JVbdRZMVc1C5gMcN-5SIvO3YQdFOjiwgUzllHRi2cimVWn_w1xAXzXje09E2bQ-GtLVqnK0ZfzYQ/s4032/IMG_1089.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlNuI942rOMTx_WCuOI20_l6_x2TsB9VxT7swc27Wqc7vBnXbgkhUJ5ver15EqZrJV-l6v5R2kDHaZX_tPZvinaBD88Pkhf-owreslAlHguyOCA_JVbdRZMVc1C5gMcN-5SIvO3YQdFOjiwgUzllHRi2cimVWn_w1xAXzXje09E2bQ-GtLVqnK0ZfzYQ/w640-h480/IMG_1089.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCaPOyn2-YQmRzLx7RApqoXTtNleC7Za_WmCD3foBUNXeO2eDGlZP2snBH5gjh-Wh2o7Lk_Gk_MKRd2M9vTS7ZGmvygUwezv1edj8eHLplyMeok1KIP9gXMlyvuKE3SG9vzxsjLNYfiFhjTFZ1wuEdsdgdKAwvhjDS66rgGDPQqYk2CVSWrkKyLBr7SA/s4032/IMG_1090.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCaPOyn2-YQmRzLx7RApqoXTtNleC7Za_WmCD3foBUNXeO2eDGlZP2snBH5gjh-Wh2o7Lk_Gk_MKRd2M9vTS7ZGmvygUwezv1edj8eHLplyMeok1KIP9gXMlyvuKE3SG9vzxsjLNYfiFhjTFZ1wuEdsdgdKAwvhjDS66rgGDPQqYk2CVSWrkKyLBr7SA/w480-h640/IMG_1090.HEIC" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks so much for stopping by!

My husband Phil had a Widow Maker heart attack on August 13, 2021. It is a true MIRACLE that he is still with us, and we are blessed that he has a great team of Doctors caring for him. His heart was severely damaged and he was put on the heart transplant list as a "6." A person with a 1-4 status is someone who is in urgent need of a new heart.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">At the end of November, Phil's condition had seemed to worsen, so his Doctors had him go back into New York Presbyterian hospital for a right heart catheterization on December 1st, 2021. They had anticipated that he would be bumped up on the list to at least a 4, and told us it was very possible that he would need to remain in the hospital and await a new heart.</div></span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">We still put up our Christmas Tree at home before on Thanksgiving weekend. The BIGGEST one we have every had, and prayed that God would get him and our family through this very scary time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">The GOOD NEWS was that his heart function was not as bad as the Doctors had thought!! They were also able to clearly see an old blockage on the right side of his heart, ( he had a silent heart attack years ago they said, and we never knew about it!) and come up with a plan to have one of the best Doctors in the world go in and try to clear that blockage. <i>*That 4.5 hour SUCCESSFUL procedure took place on December 27th, 2021!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">So here is my Design Team Inspiration layout with a photo of the 2 of us in his Cardiac Intensive Care Hospital room at NYP during his early December 2021 stay. </div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGGPSFgy-B8WRIKczorbaGAgdT30qVsBn7jjI9h7qACIVndWhtzE7taG0xy2q5P0gXvFSIs9htXLh9LOQw161Vw4Kmjbt9CUnuPxaBAWnLgJC2NFnuTsTnAVZiw9F80PrwC9r_KLqbAU6bakZ5lbZZ_hKPPHv1gUIH8lvqVfs0kLdc3xHrs_uCbk2Kw/s2448/IMG_7517.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2432" data-original-width="2448" height="636" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOGGPSFgy-B8WRIKczorbaGAgdT30qVsBn7jjI9h7qACIVndWhtzE7taG0xy2q5P0gXvFSIs9htXLh9LOQw161Vw4Kmjbt9CUnuPxaBAWnLgJC2NFnuTsTnAVZiw9F80PrwC9r_KLqbAU6bakZ5lbZZ_hKPPHv1gUIH8lvqVfs0kLdc3xHrs_uCbk2Kw/w640-h636/IMG_7517.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">49 and Market's Spectrum Sherbet Tidal Pool Collection was the PERFECT choice for making a layout with this photo. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This man is my HERO , My HEART, My ALWAYS and FOREVER- he is certainly very BRAVE and STRONG, and UNSTOPPABLE, LIKE NO OTHER! These days, with the help of medication, diet, exercise, (and me hovering over his every move! poor guy!) he is back to cutting the grass, tending the plants and flowers around the yard, even doing laundry!! He had a pacemaker/defibrillator "installed" in April and has even been moved to a "7" on the heart transplant list - which is an "on hold" status!!! He is certainly my Miracle Man for sure!!</div></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We have a follow up appointment in Mid-August and are praying that his heart function has improved, and for continued good news!
