The whole being home, in pain, and partially useless has been giving me anxiety and making me go stir-crazy..I think I finally get the true meaning of cabin fever...I love being home, but not home and in pain, not home because I don't have much of a choice. Either way, I am trying to make the best of the situation...so I made some ugly red-velvet cupcakes on Wednesday and got to see my love Jessica from Nebraska, drove for the first time in almost a week on Thursday, but perhaps pushed myself too far and am suffering today. Dreading having to go back to work....stress....oh yeah, I forgot, this is the happy place!!!
So here are happy/therapeutic things I have been working on...
These are the finished dog silhouettes I made for my dad and step-mom. The first is of Theo, and the second is Vincent!
Then there is a Work In Progress:
Here is the cover...
This is "My 27th Year" mini-album in progress. I am using a clear Maya Road album with divider pages. Supplies on this page are from K&Co, Bam Pop, Making Memories, Love Elsie, Heidi Swapp, Sassafrass Lass, Hambly, and Martha Stewart.
This is the inside cover.
Page 1:September and October

And some other random happiness:
THE GREATEST ORNAMENT EVER!
...and outside my window today...
If only I had the strength and guts to go play out there! Sigh. To taking it easy when your body says so.
What a lovely book you are working on! So much attention to detail and design. I soooooo admire your ability/talent with paper craft!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you come over for a little bit today. We're going to do all the baking we didn't do yesterday. If you just want to sit back and relax while here, that would be great. I'll make you our house special...hot chocolate with extra mini-marshmallows. I'll even share the holiday fudge, too!
(It's Sunday morning.)
Want to do whatever I can to help. I know how much you are going through with the pain of the shoulder and everything else as a result. I'm here for you!
Please come by today!
Luv you, Jenn--
