I am very happy to report that I completed the final stitches in Blackwork Winter by Tam's Creations at 9:23 PM (or so) Central Time. Yesterday my neice helped me do a few stitches, which came out a tad messy but I left them in. Sadly the pic of us stitching together did not show up. But I put her initials as well as mine on the sampler, as she deserves credit for the stitches she helped do.
Here it is complete:

Thank you all for your support and encouragement, it really did make a difference in my ability to fight m depressive periods and get back to stitching. I can not tell you all how much I appreciate it and how much it means to me. I am so happy that I found this forum, you guys are the best!!
Great job Raven! Glad to hear things are going a bit better! That lazy boy chair sounds mighty comfy!

And Lisa, sure give me your address and I'll be happy to pass on the original chart, I'll even throw in a couple skeins of DMC 550 (the purple I stitched it in).
I have to agree that this forum is wonderful. It doesn't matter if I disappear for a few days, I am still welcomed back. Everyone is always willing to listen if I need to vent or complain, and everyone is so supportive. I just love it
