I hope you are all doing well. Jim is doing so well he has been discharged from Home Health Nursing Care. The physical therapist will continue to come by but no more nurses. We continue to transition to a more normal diet and thus far he is tolerating everything well. Sadly there is still a great deal of smoke in the air so he is still having a difficult time with his emphysema.
It amazes me that there are nearly 80 major fires raging across this country. Praying for those who have lost their homes and lives and praying for those fabulous firefighters (mostly volunteers) who are working so hard to get these fires out and trying so hard to save homes.
Although Jim hasn’t been totally dependent on me for the last few weeks I haven’t been able to get myself motivated, I have been curled up with books, magazines or watching TV. I got a big wake up call or I should say several calls and e mails in the last week inviting me to participate in a number of Holiday Craft Fairs. Yikes Already!! I have decline a few but was thrilled to finally be invited to one I’ve wanted to do for years. Any who it’s time to pull my finger out, put on my big girl panties and get cracking. Before I gear up with the bazaar stuff I will be making cards for up coming birthdays etc. and there are a LOT of them in the next few months. Yesterday I hid out in the Closet. Once I got started it was as though I was obsessed, making up for lost time. What fun.
I made a huge dent in my dark blue and white scraps so I‘ll be sharing in the playground with Di and the Snippetters . Most of the embossed cards were already in my files and using a variety of SB in the Cuttlebug at one time made for quick work.
Only 75 days till that first craft fair so I’d better get with it. See you soon.
Blessings
Bernie
Yea that your husband is doing so much better and that you've got your mojo going again. These cards are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHope your crafting is fun as you get ready for the craft fair/fairs you are wanting to do. Holiday Craft Fairs have to be bunches of fun. Take care.
Hi Bernie, You have done an amazing job knowing what you have been going through! l love the embossed cards and the different die cut sentiments and your gold ribbon and stars totally stunning all of them, l do hope these fires get sorted and that the air becomes cleaner take care and don't over do it and regards to Jim xx
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Bernie, Mr Mojo is still around! Good luck with the Craft Fayre too. Di x
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards Bernie. Love the Happy Birthday stamp and the different dies. Really elegant cards.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that Jim is continuing to improve. Have you thought of (or maybe you have one) of those clean air machines. My friend who lives in Kentucky bought one for her son who is a very heavy smoker and she says it is great.
I have four of them, two cheapies and two rather expensive ones. They are wonderful and I shutter to think what it would be like for Jim without them.
