I have had DH under the weather since before Christmas .... not the flu but a reappearance to his Chrone's Disease . The surgery in June just seemed to put him into remission with it for such a short while and we are both a bit depressed to have got our hopes up on life getting back to normal ( whatever that is ! ) . There has been little sleep in this house for well over 2 weeks ... worse then having a baby in the house actually ! DH is NOT a whiner but My Heavens the last few nights have been BAD ! I call it the clutch and grab syndrom ........ if you know my husband you know he is NOT the touchy feely type guy ( in fact it is the complete opposite ! ) but after a few nights of the hand creeping out from the blanket to clutch and grab my arm tightly , I am more then ready to strangle the bugger in his sleep ! LOL ! He is off to see his specialist this coming week in town as he could not get in sooner though he did talk to a specialist in Vancouver via telephone that has been so accessible and helpful with questions and answers ! Got to love Dr H ! The two Drs are consulting one another regarding DH as Vancouver is a plane trip and bill each time so DH has the benefit of the two Drs and great care ! This morning DH went to work as he is a stubborn man and has felt guilty about not being there ..... especially being he was on holidays the 2 weeks of Christmas and hadn't made it back in ( and he is the boss ! ) . His staff take bets now after any few days off as to whether he is actually going to get to work or not ! I don't wish this disease on anybody !
Anyways , I have kept my sanity with my IPOD going on my new IPOD dock that DH bought me for my crappy room . I have been playing a creating a mess in my room and I LOVE it ! I would hang in there a lot more if I could ( dang housework and laundry just doesn't do itself though ! ) .
I will leave you now with a little Tilda Magnolia card I made up this week ... just because ! No challenge anywhere but more for the relaxation !
Have a great weekend everybody and HAPPY CREATING !
PS ......... I have found some new and exciting BLOGS , groups and online stores lately so once I figure out HOW to add the links and the Blinkies on here ( I am not very computer savvy ! LOL ) then you will all see and be able to connect to them through them ! So bear with me !
That's so very sweet and You did a great scene for Tilda :o)

What a sweet and refreshing card, Donna. The scene you created with the fence is just precious. Your coloring is very good! Sorry to hear that your having such a rough start to the New Year. It's a very difficult disease to grapple with. I hope you will find some answers soon that will improve life quality for both of you. hugs...Barb
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome to the group!! I too live in BC. Merritt to be exact. Where do you live? I am so happy we are lucky enough to have Diana Crick living in Surrey so we can get our stamps quickly. When I order mine, sometimes I get them within 2 days!! It's almost dangerous! LOL!! I too am a Magnolia lover and Copic lover. It's been a few years for me and yet I am still trying to improve my technique.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your DH's challenge. That is not a fun disease and I hope all the best for him.
I love all your creations and aren't Magnolia's that way? They aren't just cards but little pieces of art.
Take care!!
