Relax

Evening my blog peeps. Update on my shoulder. Not much has changed. The physiotherapist thinks I have gone from a strain to a tear. Physio was not working and the pain was gettig worse so I had to stop till I see another doctor. Tomorrow the wait is over. Sure hope he has encouraging news.

I spent the last two nights working on a card, using a new stamp set. The only card magazines I can purchase in our town are ones from the UK. They always come with stamp and die sets. Great value. The latest one I purchased had an embossing folder, stamp set and dies of a bookshelf and books. It was so much fun playing with this set.

I started out with the embossing folder on white paper and using distress inks to add color. Using the book dies in multiple colors and adding them to the book shelves. The cat was stamped, colored and die cut. The flowers and picture frame were stamped, colored and fussy cut. Using foam tape to give them dimension. The panel was mounted on a dark purple mat and white card base.

Update on Bullet Joirnal

It has been a long month of not getting anything done. Since I strained my rotator cuff just before Christmas I have been unable to use my arm. Two weekends I thought just holding the ruler was ok, but boy was I wrong. So lesson learned, listen to the therapist when she says don't use it. 

I thought I would share with you the layout of my weekly calendar.

Happy New Year's

Goodbye 2019, hello 2020. It's a brand new start. I have s number of things I would like to accomplish this year. The first being cardmaking. Christmas passed for the second year were I have purchased cards to send to friends and family. While half finished cards lay on my desk. 

A few months ago I discovered crystals. There are so many pretty ones. I'm having fun learning what each crystal does. Hoping to get out to do some digging this spring. My Christmas gift will come in handy to pretty up the crystals. You guessed it, I got a rock tumbler. My first attempt has been tumbling for 2 dsys. I opened it up to have a look today. All the sharp edges are smoothing, so I put it on for one more day. Then we will be onto grit #2. 

Lastly I'd like to share a page from my bullet journal. I spent last year figuring out what I wanted to track, and how I wanted my weekly calendar to look. I've got it all figured out and am enjoying setting up my 2020 bullet journal. 

keep smilin 🤗
