Overload

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I know I have not been around hardly at all, especially during such a wonderful craft explosion of a holiday! But things are pretty overloaded at home and I am finding myself more depressed lately. Not so much during the day, but during the evening when my kidlets finally go down and I am able to sit and relax. There are so many things I want to do! Crafting, knitting, reading, writing, my schoolwork! But so little time and, by the end of the day, no energy. Not to mention how incredibly difficult it is to keep up with the crafting world considering I have NO money to spend on it. I think I have hit a bit of a plateau and that is giving me a hard time with my crafting. I have so many wonderful things! But in the end there are only so many things I can do and I feel my creativity is being held back. And to make it all that much more overloaded, the upcoming medical trip for my son has me completely stressed out. Not being able to secure an incoming income has been hitting me harder everyday....of course because it is Christmas and my husband and I are unable to buy things for our 3 sweet children. It breaks my heart to no end when they come to me and ask for something....and I know there is no way to get it for them. *sigh* Sorry, guys. I know it is a bit of a depressing post but I did need to rant a little bit. Thanx for listening...erm...reading...and please enjoy your holiday. Treasure those moments and be blessed! Happy Holidays!

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week...

Bookm-ARGH! Card

Image
Good Monday morning, everyone! How is everybody today? I hope your weekend was fun. :) Mine was awesome. Got a LOT of cleaning done and then even more crafting done. Minus the fact that my chest infection keeps me from breathing....I had a good weekend. However, I am as clumsy as I could possibly be. I don't know what it has been this past week but I cannot seem to control my hands. They have been fumbling everything! Point in question? My first ever bookmark card. I thought I would try out another different style of card and I have always wanted to do a bookmark card. This one turned out BEAUTIFULLY...until I dropped my ink pad on it. >.> I was not impressed. Hence 'Bookm-ARGH' card. :) *tee hee* I've really been getting into stamping lately. I am waiting for my first set of stamping inks from Close to my Heart to arrive, (along with the Artiste cartridge EEEEE!). The stamps I used for this card are from Close to my Heart. The main sentiment is from the "P...
