The Chicken Coop

I am a paper crafter. I've been playing with paper, and cutting and pasting for many years now and I still just love it. I teach classes each month and would love to have you.
You can find me at MyRedHen.blogspot.com and on Pinterest
or email me at MyRedHen4@yahoo.com
I'd love to hear from you.
Every now and then I have some cards or little treats available for sale that may be seen here.
My blog also contains my personal posts. Ignore them if you like, but you may get a kick out of them. Maybe my girls will read them one day and get insights into the inner workings of an old woman's brain....Scary Thought!
There is a list of labels on the right side of the blog, so you can click there to go to only the posts that you are interested in. That will allow you to skip the personal posts and any items for sale if you wish. No matter which way you choose, I hope will enjoy my little blog and visit often.

I'm Stuck :(

Hi All
Just thought I'd check in.
I have more video tips to film as promised, but at this time I'm stuck in the hospital..
Couple of days ago my ankle was kind of bugging me and by evening it was painful and swollen.
It was my intention to go to urgent care, but they were all closed, so my only option was to go to the emergency room. It was super busy and filled with people. I was there waiting for hours before I even got into a room. I was hoping at the time that I had just twisted it a bit and maybe they could wrap it up with an ace bandage and send me on my way. I just didn't want it to be broken and have to wear a boot.
It turned out way differently than expected.
At it turns out, it is cellulitis, an infection in the soft tissue, and could have even ended requiring surgery. They did an MRI to rule out an abscess and they aspirated it and are still running tests on it. I ended up being admitted to the hospital yesterday very early in the morning. After the aspiration the pain got better and the swelling went away so I was sure that they would be sending me home this morning, but when the doctor came in, he said they were waiting on the results from one of the tests and that if that's okay they will probably send me home tomorrow.

Good Grief!
A sore ankle puts me in the hospital for nearlyfour days?
Oh well, maybe the Lord decided that I needed to take a little break. :)

AT LAST!!!!

I am so very relieved and excited that I had to write a blog post about something that none of you will care about. Ever since opening my website...(MyRedHen.stampinup.net), I have been trying to get everything set up with the new addresses. I have had one problem after another and about 15 minutes ago, I finally figured out how to get it the way I want it. I'm over the moon happy!
Not only that...I spent a few hours yesterday getting instruction on how to get my videos filmed correctly and how to add them to my blog where they can actually be seen. I'm exhausted tonight, but tomorrow I'm going to give it a try. I plan to film videos with projects you can all try and to pass on some helpful tips whenever I find them. I already have some planned, so be on the lookout.
I'm going to enter this technical generation one way or another!

Many of you who have followed me for a while now have reached me with the email address snipnscrap@yahoo.com or even theredspeckledhen@yahoo.com.
bot of those will still get to me, so you don't need to change unless you want to.
The new email address going forward is TheRedHen@yahoo.com.
The blog address is now MyRedHen.blogspot.com and I can be found on Blogger, on Pinterest, and on Facebook under My Red Hen. I wanted to simplify the info so that everything didn't have to be spelled out in order to be understood.
My new website which is now open is MyRedHen.stampinup.net.
So come and join this ol' Red Hen and let's have some creative fun!
