Happy Birthday

to my granddaughter. I watched Tim Holtz with Heidi for his Christmas video and he talked about the use of painting with Distress Sprays. I didn't do that but I did get out my sprays and used one through a stencil to make this background. It was easy and quick and I liked the outcome. Then I used a Unity stamp colored with Copics.

Getting ready to start on Halloween cards and will only have time to make the great grands some at the rate I'm going. BUT, I'm doing it and so happy about it.

You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands. If they are around your throat she is probably upset.




Be kind to one another.

Let me Splain!

Early last month I had a question about a test I took. I never look at My Chart from the doctor because I go in, do what he says, and get better. But I wanted to see what the results were from the test so I went there. I'm reading and find out I am end stage COPD. We had never discussed this and I had no idea. I do know I am worse and having a hard time breathing and so tired with no energy. I called and got an appt. but he backed off and said it should just say advanced. It really doesn't make any difference, what will happen will happen. But it did something to my brain. I don't see any point in doing anything since it won't matter. It's taken me quite a while to come to terms with this. I am better now and can joke a bit but I wish I hadn't seen it but it's implanted now and won't go away.

 I have done nothing all this time but needed to get a few cards made for the family birthdays. So I've started again with simple, easy cards. This one is Paper Rose paper that is perfect for my son. They live on a small lake and have a john boat, fish, have ducks and it's so pleasant. I cut up the scenes and added them to a Waffle Flower die. Easy and he loved it. 

I hate when people drop off from blogging and I don't know what happened to them so this is just a heads up. No need to comment, this is just a recap.

They say when you retire you will travel more. They don't tell you it is to doctor appointments.




Be kind to one another.
