With the date of my visit to the surgeon about my hands looming closer (Sept 20th WOOT) I've been working feverishly to finish up any loose ends. I still have a few commitments to work on, altered books and some ATCs, but I have completed the majority of the work over the summer.
Below is a series of chunky book pages I've created to submit to Carol Dellinger's monthly tip-in swap. At the moment, I have 3 months worth of pages done, and this should be enough to keep me involved while I'm recovering from my surgery. Some of these pages are collaged, some are Sharpie art, and many of them are doubles.






My surgery has caused quite a conflict at work, suffice it to say that I no longer work there. After being stonewalled by my employers repeatedly about submitting information to the WSIB (worker's compensation board) I finally drew the last straw and walked out. My action was of course viewed as job abandonment, and so be it, I truly do not want to return to a company which consistenly hinders my claim and my recovery. As of yet, six months after filing the claim, I have not received any of the monetary compensation that I am entitled to. This is solely due to the fact that my employer has been refusing to submit the requested information for various reasons. The frustration from the whole situation has me continously on the verge of tears, something very rare for me....leaving me with a multitude of emotions that I just can't seem to shake.
