One more Easter card

This card has a sweet bunny rub on and a Poppy Stamps Grand Stick Frame over it. 

I have been mentioning how tired I am all the time with no energy. I recently had two Dr. visits, one with regular MD and one with my pulmonologist. I have been complaining about being tired and not being able to put the weight back on I lost when I was in the hospital. I'm sure most of you know I am on oxygen around the clock. Both doctors told me it takes a lot of energy and calories just for me to be able to breathe. I'm glad there is a reason but can't fix it. I eat well and sleep well and have been taking a nap in the afternoon. That doesn't leave a lot of time to do much else. I use my energy for things I have to do, then rest. I'm trying to pace myself and on days when I don't have to do laundry or other household chores, I try to make a card. I may start one on one day and finish it the next. The simple cards and rub ons have helped me make a card.  I appreciate you all staying with me and listening to me keep saying I'm tired. I don't have the breath to do my bike anymore and I miss that. Has anyone used one of those pedal machines that you just sit in a chair and pedal? I wonder if it helps strengthen your legs and is it good exercise? Please let me know because I'm thinking about getting one to get stronger. I'm sorry this is so long but I wanted you to know what's going on here.

I'll never get back to my original weight. I'm okay with that since 6 lbs. 6 oz. is not realistic.

Be kind to one another.

Happy Easter

I hope you all enjoy this most wonderful holiday. I was hoping for bright sunshine and warm temperatures but it is not to be. Cloudy and 43 degrees. Maybe the sun will come out. 

I embossed a lavender panel with a Sizzix Leaf Pattern embossing folder. The bunny is an embossed die cut from Paper Rose.  I added an arched panel over it.

I had a hen who could count her own eggs. She was a mathemachicken.

Be kind to one another.

Bunny wishes

A sweet bunny just stamped in black and just a bit of color added Pattern paper for the mat and a foam heart added for love.

One minute you're young and wild. In the next minute you're into air fryers.

Be kind to one another.

My 2nd post

Are you ready - my second post this week!  The snow from two days ago has melted and the sun is out today. Loving the mood it puts me in. I even seem to have a bit more energy today. 

This is an image from a Unity kit of February, 2025. This sweet face kept calling me so I had to use it. Stamped it and colored with Copics and cut it out with a circle die. The pattern paper was embossed with a quilted folder and added to a card base. 

A 72 hour hold in a psych unit is beginning to intrigue me as a potential vacation opportunity. 

 

Be kind to one another.

Moving on

Yep. Due to all the bad weather, I've moved on to Easter cards. But first...I will share my news and this card. My twin great grand daughters have arrived! They are healthy and mom and babies are doing fine. They were 6.9 lbs. and 5.8 lbs. and are home now. This is so exciting for our family and what a blessing. I made this quick card since they came a little sooner than we expected. 

My favorite childhood memory is having energy!

Be kind to one another.

Thank you

Sometimes we all need a little boost and I thank you for that. Your comments lifted me up and made me know I'm not alone. Something that's in your face on TV and online every single day just wears you out. I've read several books, stayed off daytime TV and off the internet for a while and I can tell you it makes a difference. I can't change the weather but I can stay in and make cards so that's a bonus for bad weather.

I have a few more Valentines to post even though I'm behind. This is a Unity stamp I got this year and it is so sweet. Very simple card but with heartfelt love.

I've decided I don't want kids. I'm telling them tonight at dinner.

Be kind to one another.

An unintended break

I wish it wasn't so, but I'm tired. Maybe starting to feel my age or maybe the state of the world. I wish it didn't bother me but it does. Day after day, it drags me down. It's been so cold and now it's so gray. Rain every day until next Tuesday. Fog, chilly days. I'm tired. I want to make cards, I bought some new products that just sit there. Everything seems like so much work. I make myself do one big thing a day and sometimes that's all I can do. I sleep well and that's a blessing.

This card was made for a friend I made through stamping. I value all of you so much. This bouquet of flowers was sent to me by another blogging friend and I love it so much. She sent a hand full so you will see them again. I ran vellum through an embossing folder and added a scalloped frame.

Know the difference between humans and animals? Animals would never let the dumbest one lead the pack.

Be kind to one another.
