Pneumonia...

So for the last 2 weeks I've had uncontrolled coughing fits, and was told after week one that it's allergy-induced asthma. When another week went by with very little relief (and lots of meds) I decided to go back. It progressed into a mild pneumonia. :( I've never had it before but I can tell you that I'm exhausted and ready to get well. I'd like to be back to my old self again, not ready to crash in the bed every waking moment.

So, say a little prayer for me to get well. I'm hoping the antibiotics (just took the 2nd of 5 pills tonight) start to help soon. Maybe I can be back to stamping soon...

At a loss...

I'm at a loss... I bought a stamp set for Christmas cards this year, and am just not completely inspired by it yet. Yes, I've shown you a couple of cards with it, but it just hasn't "done it" for me yet, at least not enough to say "that's it!". And so, here I am in October, yet to have a stack of Christmas cards. I need some inspiration. Maybe the Christmas spirit hasn't hit me yet.

My husband is out of town this week, so I'm parenting our 2 yr old alone. I don't like it, and I have to give a lot of credit to single parents out there- I really don't know how you do it! I definitely love having my husband around to help!

We made a pretty autumn card at stamp camp last week, I thought I'd share it with you. I LOVE eggplant and olive together, and the kraft cardstock doesn't get used enough at my house. So when I saw this card, I LOVED it! It's really quite simple, but it works! I think the wheel is called Leaves Awash from Stampin' Up! Also used linen thread and a teeny oval tag. I haven't decided what to put on the tag yet.


Enjoy your week. If my daughter hasn't completely worn me out, maybe I'll be inspired and energized enough to stamp one night. Until then...
