Hello stampers and happy Monday to you. Truth be told it has not been a very happy Monday for me. When I woke up this morning I felt like a squashed bug. If you could have seen me attempting to get out of bed you would have cringed. When I managed that incredible feat, I gingerly put one foot in front of the other praying that I would make it to the toilet, and that once there I would be able to sit down, wipe and get up again!!! I’m sure you can guess what happened? A bad back!!
Commitments
I have commited to blogging once a week now, but this morning I didn’t think it would happen. It is now almost 8 pm and I am able to stand at my desk and type. I have put my keyboard on a stack of Paper Pumpkin boxes and that is working just fine. Sadly I had to cancel my first in person class in almost a year!! Sometimes you just have to accept reality and know that you can’t do it all. Today I want to share a card that I made with my Prime Time group last Thursday.
Plentiful Plants
Plentiful Plants is one of my favourite bundles in the new catalog. It is on trend featuring macrame plant hangers, house plants and some great sayings. I simply cased the catalog to make this card and to show that you can use the catalog for inspiration, not just for ordering things.
Here you can see a closeup of the pot and the hanger.
In the stamping community we learn from each other and I was thrilled when my brand new Prime Time member shared her card with us. She made one small change that made such a difference. She chose to mat the focal image. Thanks so much for sharing with us all Ethel Wegner! I decided to try it too, and I think Ethel has a point. What do you think?
When Everything Grinds to a Halt
When everything grinds to a halt, it is amazing how grateful you feel when things start improving just the tiniest little bit. I am over the moon happy that I was able to sit and stand long enough to share this post with you. After this, I will ice my back and rest again. Hopefully tomorrow morning at 10am I will be up to doing my weekly YouTube and Facebook live video showing you the fourth card in my Sweet as a Peach series. I have two kits left that can be mailed to two lucky people! They are only $25 including postage.
Thank You!
Thank you for joining me today. This past week I had a very successful BOGO sale, but there is still LOTS of product left. I have decided to extend the sale and you are welcome to join if you live in Canada. Please read the “about” section so you understand how it works.

U will need a sit/stand desk for your computer. Hope the ice helps but they recommend alternating with heat as well. U have a lot of muscle spasm happening.
Feel better soon!!
Thanks so much Marion. Today there has been some improvement. Thank God for small blessings.
Yes, a sit/stand desk is a great idea. I have cobbled something together for now, but sitting is definitely not a good thing for the body. I am also going to start a daily morning yoga practice. Time for some radical change.
A sit/stand desk is great, I have a hydrolic table for crafting, got it at Costco a few years ago and love it. I can also put my laptop on it. I hope you are feeling much better tomorrow. I love the card!
I might have to look into that as well. I am feeling much better, on my fifth consecutive day of morning yoga. A new routine which I am loving.
