Smile

Well, I haven't felt much like smiling this week or being creative. My 6 month struggle with sciatica and back pain is really taking a toll. BUT I'm finally listening to my husband and will be seeing a chiropractor on Monday so I am confident better days are ahead! In the meantime I have to give my chemo buddy something to smile about, and her issues are certainly much larger than mine, so I came up with this for her. She loves red so I decided to go with bright cheery colors and keep it simple. I used the Cord'inations papers on this and a Quickutz embossing folder. I even had Primas that were just the right colors (how could I not, I have a huge stash!).

I apologize to all of my wonderful blogging buddies that I have not collected awards and visited your blogs lately. I'm not able to sit very long this week--I'm more comfortable moving around. So the good news is that my housework is all caught up and after I see the chiropractor on Monday, I can just morph here and have a visit with you all! I know you have fantastic creations I can't wait to see and I sooo miss seeing what you've done. And now it's time to move around again (ouch!). Thanks for taking a peek!

But on the bright side, your card is lovely...your chemo buddy is sure to love it. How kind of you to do this for her! Hope all goes well on Monday...I'll be thinking of you. Jo

  8. This card is so pretty. I just got this folder with no idea of what to do with it. Thanks for putting something besides air into my head...LOL! I don't know about back pain 1st hand but my husband has suffered terribly over the last few months, even after surgery it has been an up hill battle. Hope you are doing better.
