Happy Anniversary

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!!

I hope your all doing well!

I took a bit of a break the last several days. Not one I planned for but because it's been crazy busy and I have not had any card orders to share. I took my first dose of my new medicine last Friday night and it has been kicking my butt. Miss Bailee had grooming first thing Saturday morning and once we dropped her off I went home and made us a good breakfast, only thing was I couldn't even eat half of it. It was good but I got full after about 5 bites. I also noticed how fatigued I was and had no energy to do much. Sunday, I got up and still felt the same way but if you remembered Shawn had booked a Rail Trail Bike adventure that morning. I ate just a handful of crackers that morning because that was all I could get in. The smell of food was already starting to turn my stomach. We went and did the rail bike ride with his boss & wife. It was so much fun!! Afterwards though, I was totally zonked. I came home and slept the rest of the day. Starting a new dose of meds was no joke. Thankfully, I did not get sick but it did knock me back a peg. They say that this happens but in time your body will adjust to it. Monday, I felt like an 18 wheeler ran me over so I decided I was not going to do my normal house cleaning. Instead I decorated for Halloween since it's not that strenuous. I felt better as the day when on although I still was not eating much. Shawn grabbed a small pizza on his way home from work since I did not make any supper. One piece of pizza was all I could eat and let me say that that one slice of pizza spiked my blood sugar higher then I have ever seen it! Guess no more pizza for me. Then yesterday I did get my normal house cleaning done and I was starting to eat more than I had the last several days which was a good thing. Today is 5 days since my injection and I am just a bit tired but feeling so much better. I'm planning on hitting my stamp table to work on filling up my card rack. I have sold so many cards off my card rack in the last several weeks that some of the pockets are empty! So, today we are starting off with a pretty Anniversary card that will be headed to the card rack!




Card Details:

Stamps: Northwoods Rubber Stamps
Ink: Poppy Parade
Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Poppy Parade, Basic White, Garden Walk DSP (retired)
Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Blooming Pearls (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I loved this pack of paper from the 2023 Holiday Mini Catalog and I try to use it whenever I can. This floral print just screamed Anniversary to me and I wanted to make a quick card with it. 

I'm sorry for such a long post today, I just wanted to let you know where I've been and what's been going on. Hopefully, this week will be a little less dramatic and I can concentrate on getting back to creating because I have missed it!

Let's hope that real life is done interfering now! LOL

Thanks for stopping by & have yourself a wonderful day!

I'm sorry you've been feeling out of sorts for so long but hopefully you'll soon find your energy coming back as strong as ever. That is one very pretty anniversary card you made with those gorgeous papers. Have fun stamping today and enjoy this beautiful weather too.
