Hi there! Long time no posts - I know! Sorry... I've been battling the flu and bronchitis for over two months! Nuts I know! I started feeling more myself since a few weeks ago. I was a bit scared to hop on and post something about how I was feeling, just in case I developed something afterwards that would keep me from my normal daily and on-line activities.
So what have I been doing now that I have most of my energy back? Lets see - lots of housework! I hope I never feel like I've lost control of this again, feels great to be on top of things now.
Eating healthy and exercising more. I have put on soooo much weight this year, partly because I was always so sick... I didn't have the stamina and focus to workout and plan healthy meals. I feel really great even though its only been a few weeks!
Scrapbooking! Yes I scrapbooked! I went for a thirty minute walk yesterday and came back with loads of energy... so I decided to use it all up on these (sorry about the blurry photo, you can click to enlarge if you like) -
CREDITS: Prima flowers and stamps, 7Gypsies stamps and text fabric tape, acrylic and crackle paint, inks, grey Tattered Angles mister, canvas paper, artisan element from Pinkpaislee. DIGITAL: Distress Brush Set 02 for splatters, Journey Back - Trims for trim with wordart
I finished this one today (love working with paint and inks!) -
CREDITS: 7Gypsies stamps and text fabric tape, acrylic paint, inks, brads, buttons and fibre, canvas paper. DIGITAL: Distress Brush Set 02 for splatters, wood grain paper (muted) from Creashens Moon & Back Kit.
Thanks for visiting! Hope I can share more with you ...AND on a regular basis! Have a wonderful weekend all!
Wow, gorgeous stuff! I'm so sorry you've been so ill--I hope you can get some sun in your blood that will make better health last at least through the summer! Hugs!
