WiP With a Whole Lotta Life Going On...

What a week it has been. There's been a lot going on in our lives lately what with finding out my BIL's cancer and all. They went in yesterday for a liver scan and biopsy. He said he saw way more spots on his scans in the liver area than he had thought there would be (he was an X-ray tech for years). We are still praying every day and hoping for good news regarding prognosis.

To talk about something happier, I did keep myself somewhat busy this week. I finished up some freezer cooking (that sounds contradictory!) and filled it up with goodies. I'll post about those and the recipes I used tomorrow but here's a peek at my freezer.

That's 8 meals, about 6 bags of prepped beef for various meals, 4 bags of shredded chicken and about 7 bags of various marinaded meats. I also had what ended up being 4 quart size bags of ice cube chicken broth I made when prepping the shredded chicken. I used some of the chicken last night in chicken and dumplings and I'm planning on making this Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls recipe later in the week.

I also received the buttons I won from Incomparable Buttons the other day. So sweet!

I also finished a gift. I won't elaborate, but let's just say it's going in the mail today.

The front...

the back...

and inside. I used Amber's tutorial over at One Shabby Chick on how to put it together but just used some fabrics I was already working with on my Carpenter Wheels as my starting point.

I also finished one Mystery Round Robin Mini and got the other one. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do to it yet but I can't post it anyway since it's a surprise. Stay tuned for the reveal on those on November 19th!
