As you can see from the last posting date...it has been quite a few months since my last post. Not to get too much into the details of it...I had a stroke. It was caused by some medication I was taking. You know you've got a crafting addiction when none of your body wants to move or work but you are craving to operate a pair of scissors! Yes, during the first days after my stroke that's all I wanted...A pair of scissors. My hand would make the movement as my brain was thinking about scissors. Fast forward now to a few months into rehabilitation and I'm finding cardmaking not only a joy but also a challenge and a bit theraputical in terms of figuring spatial relationships, fine motor skills...in cutting, stamping, etc.
In the spirit of keeping my blog going and in keeping myself going physically and creatively, I share with you these photos of what's been going on in the craft room. I should have taken photos of the boxed card sets I made as presents ...but I forgot before giving them. I do however have a few random Christmas cards that are going to become boxed sets.
Thanks for taking a look. Leave a comment ...constructive criticism is appreciated as well.
Aimee, I am so sorry for your recent medical concerns, but happy that you are able to use crafting as a way to work your way back to health. All of your cards are beautiful I especially like the first one with the plaid background. Take care.
