Breast Cancer Entry Thirty-Eight
l all most Forgot How Much Fun I Used to Have!
My friends at our local ABC network called and asked me to be on “Good Things Utah” (the local pre-show before The View airs) to show off my book and do some crafts. I used to do quite a bit of media work before I got sick, but it’s been at least a year since I have been on TV. Anyway, it was a blast! I had totally forgotten how much fun my career could be. I am soooo ready to get involved again. I can’t do too much though because I am still doing chemo therapy and my strength is not optimum. I am also looking at a big re-constructive surgery this summer, so I have to take good care of myself for a while. Still, I am going to try and do a little more. I miss my life…Everyone has been so wonderful to me this year. I would like to give some of it back.
It’s amazing how that one day has brightened me up. I think it’s important to do things that make one happy and break the spell of this awful situation. I am going to try and have more fun! Doesn’t that sound good for anyone? Lets all have a great day today.

I just received one of your autographed books from Suze Weinberg’s site. I’ve been going through it since getting off work Friday afternoon….and today, I wanted so badly to have a clean craft room so I could just move in there and try everything! Then I thought of your website and decided to visit. It’s a testament to your bravery and spirit. I wish nothing but the best for you…and I’ll pray for your recovery, as well.

Hi Julia - I’ve been a fan for a few years - and visit your blog often, as well as hearing about you on Suze’s Yahoo group.
I was just diagnosted with endometrial cancer on 1/11/2008. I remember that statement “you have a malignant tumor. . .”
I’m still working thru my grief/shock/anger. . .
I’d love to hear how you conquered it. I need some light. Some hope.

Dear Julia,
I have been so depressed! Last night I found you on You Tube. It was only my second time to view on line videos. Out of the blue I decided to look up scrapbooking with metal! Then I went to your site and read some more. I got up this morning to surf again. At 48, I still have not found myself. I am hoping through crafting I will. My prayers are with you! You have given me so much hope!! Love and Hugs- Joyce in SLC

I hope you have a recovery that will allow you to resume having all the fun you were used to. You are such a brave woman and I admire you so much. I love Perfect Pearls and I think you as the most perfect pearl of all.
You’re one in a million and God Bless You.

I have been in love with paper since birth. My son is the same way. We love to touch it and turn it into something else.
For my birthday this year, in March, I received a barnes & noble gift certificate. Yesterday, we went to b&n to looking at Stampington magazines & Peach Fuzz books but when I walked past the arts & crafts section and saw your wonderful book “Paper Transformed” - WOW!! I am so happy you have shared this wonderful detailed work with us.
GOD Bless you!!
