Snarky's Have Guardian Angels?!

Yay, I made a card!  I'm feeling a bit more like my usual self this morning and so here's a card I created earlier today!  Gotta love those Snarky's!

 

To be honest, I didn't really "think" to much about what went where on this card.  I just kind of grabbed stuff off my desk, and thought, "yep, that will go there, this can go here..." and the card kind of fell together.  Too often I over think stuff, and I am trying NOT to do that anymore.  Sometimes it works, other times not!

Above is a close up of the stamped words on the card.  Even Guardian Angels aren't perfect, lol!

Ok, that's all for now, more later maybe?!

A Crap Week.

It's been a rough time for me.  In the past 12 days I've been to the Doctor four times, seen my Specialist and ended up very unwell in hospital with a sinus infection.  It doesn't want to go away😝.  On top of this my blood pressure shot up to over 200/93, way too high.  Turns out it was due to ongoing stress I've had.  I was also running a high temperature.

I am back home now, recovering slowly.  All this because someone came into  my home who was not well and did not bother to tell me.  Because my immune system is so vulnerable any infections make me very unwell and put me in hospital. 

On Friday I get up around 7 am, turn on the kitchen light to make a cup of tea.  I was about to cross the floor to get the milk out of the fridge but something stopped me.  As I stood there, I hear a loud CRACK sound, the light goes out, I briefly see sparks, then the light comes back on.  I look up ad see the fluorescent light literally hanging from the ceiling by a couple of wires!  Not knowing if they were live or not, I immediately call the Fire Brigade.  Then I leave the house for safety reasons.  The Fire Brigade arrive and check everything out, no live wires or anything dangerous.  They remove the light and tell me to call the Electrician who installed the light. (Less than 2 years ago) Luckily he was able to come and he re-installed the light with no charge to me.  Ok Universe, I think I have had enough stress for now, please give me a break!

Below is a photo of the light.  Had I walked across the floor to the fridge as I was going to, I would have been hit in the head/face and no doubt sustained some serious injuries.  My Angels were looking out for me that day😀.

No cards today, but they are coming...

A Quick and Easy Shaker Card and More!

I made the shaker card (above) this morning.  I had someone coming to drop off some plants, and I wanted to thank them with a card. It uses a piece of cellophane for the front and it's stuck down at the sides and back of the balloon card.  It's a very easy technique and I am happy how it turned out!

I haven't done any crafting for almost a month.  I have a sinus infection and am hoping it clears up soon.  My Doctor wanted to prescribe Antibiotics, but the only one I can tolerate has to be administered through an IV.

To have that I would have needed to go to hospital as the IV has to be monitored.  I didn't want to go to hospital so my Doctor agreed to let me stay at home and try to get rid of the infection myself.  It's a real challenge for me because my immune system is very poor and if I get any infection it can (and often does) mean a stay in hospital and having lot's of drugs and blood tests.  Not my idea of fun at all.  I know who I caught the infection from, and she had no right to be here  when she was unwell.  "She" (whose name will not be printed here) knew she was ill and knew to stay away.  However, she chose not to tell me she was unwell with a sinus infection, and so here I am feeling unwell and having to take all kinds of drugs to make sure I get well, and hopefully keep out of hospital.  I've had the infection 2 1/2 weeks now and I am over it!

So this is why I haven't done a lot of crafting lately.  Plus I had a horrible migraine that  lasted 7 days:-(

Above is "Egg Head, who is, or was, an egg cup!  I have planted a small succulent so it rows to  look like his hair!  The plant has tiny red flowers, when it flowers.  I forget the name of it and I can't move to find the tag off it because I have "Romeo-Valentino" curled up behind me, and if I move two things will happen. 1 - He will steal the whole chair and there will be no room for me!  2 - He will get grumpy with me and will possibly nip me!  Gently, but still a nip I don't want!

Above is "Miz Violetta"!  Below is "Nana Audrey! Both are "String of Pearls'' plants.  So much fun to grow and I got the egg cup and glasses from my local Hospice Shop.  I am always on the look out for unique/weird/funky containers to grow things in!

I have recently spent some time outside planting 70 odd Daffodil bulbs, 40 Ixia bulbs, 20 odd Crocus bulbs, several pots of Aster seeds, (saved from a beautiful bunch of flowers my neighbours gave me for my 60th almost five years ago, the Asters come up each year) 40 Freesia bulbs, and today I planted two "Ruruhau" plants (Chinese Cabbage/Mustard Greens) that someone gave me.  I am in pain from the Fibromyalgia, but find if I keep moving the pain isn't quite so bad - until tomorrow when    the pain hits!

My attitude is, I just have  keep going, and learn how to pace myself.  Rest when I need to and move when I feel like I can without too much pain.  Gosh, that's a whole new blog I could start!

On top of the pain, it's darn icy cold here today.  No sun, just cloudy and icy cold.

Oh well, I have a nice warm electric blanket when I go to bed...and two furry cats who LOVE the electric blanket and believe it is for them!

Ok, I'm done for today, hopefully more cards coming soon! Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day!  Remember to always be your authentic self and shine bright each and every day!
