I made this wonderful card in honor of the occasion as Purple is the Epilepsy Awareness color and the saying is so true for me "Today is the First Day of Forever."
I started writing up my story and it took several pages to write, since I included my background, I think this will help many people who have seizures now that are uncontrolled. I am sure they can so relate to how my life was and then hear about the surgery and how I am doing now. So here's the link to my full story, just click this link and read my full story about Epilepsy: CLICK HEREThanks for coming to the blog hop today. Epilepsy Awareness is near and dear to me. I am giving away some wonderful blog candy today. One prize is a Brand New Inkadinkado Christmas theme stamp set (see photo below).
Leave a comment HERE for your chance to win the stamp set. The stamp set winner will be drawn NEXT week on Friday. So please tell your friends to come by the blog hop as well to support Epilepsy Awareness. The next blog on the hop is Ashley, her posting will start on Friday 11/11/11. Here's the next blog: http://www.especiallymade.blogspot.com/Thanks for stopping by!

What a blessing you are. I read part of your story and I have to say that I stopped due to the tears. Your work is amazing and I am so happy that you are seizure free. May God continue to bless you.
Yes, you are a true blessing to all of us, Holley! You have made lemonade of so many lemons, you are a remarkable beacon for all brain tumor sufferers as well as epileptic seizure sufferers. I'm so happy you are with us and able to keep us forging forward.
Many hugs!

I am glad you are doing better with the surgeries. I may have to speak to my neurologist next time I go and see if that may be an option for myself. I know myself I refuse to take any more meds, the side effects are almost worse than the seizures themselves. I do not recommend anyone doing that, but it was my personal choice.
Thanks for the chance to win the lovely stamp set.

Cute card! Your story is such an inspiration! I'm glad that you are able to share it and give epilepsy sufferers hope. ((HUGS))
Your card is stunning.
Your colouring is stunning.
I know 2 women who have epilepsy and one of them had brain surgery and has yet to have a seizure since getting it done.
Your card is very pretty.
Very nice colouring Holley!!
Congratulations on your successful surgery and in overcoming the epilepsy! I will happily join you in increasing awareness and will add a link on my blog shortly.

I might have missed the blog hop but we are heavy into epilepsy awareness as well. I just had a nice event in our town to raise awareness for Epilepsy & SUDEP. We lost our precious son, four months ago to SUDEP. Congrats on your sugery success, Andrew was not a candidate.
Holley, I'm FINALLY getting through the hop. What a WONDERFUL card! Thank you for having me as part of the hop. I enjoyed being in it.
