I was right, I cannot do housework! Of course, I didn't try.  Really I can use my fingers and I am going to unwrap my hand this morning and shower so I think I'm on the mend. Today I'm on the run for several different things. I need to find elastic waist pants for hubby. I don't know if they make them or not but he can't handle the belt and can't unbutton and unzip his jeans so I need them. Also, I'm going to Michaels to find a craft knife. I've never been able to use one. I'm kind of afraid of them. I'm looking for the tonic one so I hope they have it. Also, it must be time for a bone density test. Dr. ordered it so I'm off to do that. Then grocery store and that's it for the day.  Since I wasn't doing anything around the house I was able to make on of those pop up boxes I've seen online. I made it with eggs for Easter and put a heart in front for my granddaughter. I was surprised  that it was easier than I thought it would be. I'm off to start the day. Be kind to one another.

Wow! I am impressed with this card box. I'm seeing them on lots of blogs, but have been too intimidated to try it myself (I don't do projects anyway, but these are adorable) You did a super job on this one, and I'm sure your granddtr is going to be head over hills when she gets this pretty card. Well DONE, Miss Brenda. Glad to hear the hand is healing. TFS & Hugs
