Have any of you tried this?
The update is that I have just recently had a big heart attack and now have a stent in place ..I think this resting is the hardest thing to do . You know when you have done the dishes and you wipe the sink down , you notice a spot on the cupboard , so you just wipe the door over then you see finger marks on the cupboard door above ..so you wipe that and as you rerinse the cloth you notice that the fridge door is so bad you just have to wipe that over too ..So you close your eyes to the rest of the kitchen and go to sit down to rest and watch TV but you notice that the coffee table still has an empty mug on it so you take that to the kitchen where you notice that the biscuit tin is still out so you put that away ..
You get the gist of my dilema ? Did it make you smile?
Any way here to share with you is a Christmas card that I made as a kit for my craft girls coming to my place in the morning .
Thick white card base .SU Real Red mat with Be Merry DSP ,SU .Two tags from same paperare added with foam dots for dimension .Diecut circle tag with sentiment from Hero Arts .
Bling from SU . Ribbon from my stash .
Happy to be here to notice both !
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.
Oh Shirley-Anne I am so sorry to hear this news. I know it is easy to say but you must take things a little easier. I know you are a carer as well, you will need help sweetie. Your card is awesome sweetie.
Hi Shirley, I got your form and followed the link to your blog, very shocked and concerned that you had a heart attack :-(
I know what you're saying about resting, and spotting things that need doing (although in my case it's usually laptop based things!) and you can't stop completely because doing nothing is also not good...but take it steady. I haven't read the rest of your form, as I came here first, but I'll get back to you separately on that score.
Oh! Shirley Anne, I know where you are coming from, BUT it is so important for you to take your time - for a few weeks anyway.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your card with it's pretty papers and sentiment.
