I thought I would take a moment to share a little update on me and my life/health at the moment and also my newest and first creation since I became ill... I'm doing a lot better, I still have a few more days of taking the antibiotics but they seem to be helping tremendously. The infection is almost gone, and I am feeling more energized, but not 100%. You should see my left arm from where they were trying to give me the iv's and blew the veins, I'm so bruised there. Its almost a perfect circle around my wrist. :( But I am thankful to have gotten the medical help that I needed so I wont complain too awful much. The pain is almost obsolete now which is wonderful... every now and then when I get cold or something the pain will pop up a little but not anywhere near as horribly as it was earlier this week/last weekend. I do have some wonderful news about moving! I was feeling a bit better yesterday so Tim and I met with this lovely lady in a town called Oceana about 30-40 minutes from here about a home there. We got to tour the place and speak with her. We both fell in love with its location and everything! Its larger, and has 3 bedrooms, a nice yard.... The river is smaller and right across the street from the house and I made sure to ask about flooding and she said that it hasn't flooded before. Plus there is a church 2 houses down from there that is really lovely and everyone is super nice. It's really a dream home for us and we filled out all of the needed paperwork there on the spot because we loved it so much. The greatest part is that its in a decent sized town (sort of like Madison) and there are vintage shops, pharmacies, restaurants, and everything we need right there instead of us driving 45 minutes to go anywhere... I'm really excited and praying that we get accepted into this place. If we do get accepted we could start moving anytime this month and be in our new home by November 1st! Isn't that wonderful! We aren't really happy with our location, or our landlords here where we live. We went to speak with them yesterday about possibly moving and they were very rude and said 'when can we expect you out, we have someone interested in a place and we need to call them back to make the necessary arrangements for them to move in' Its like we are being FORCED out! Like they want us to move. I'm really not sure what we ever did. We always pay on time and are quiet and keep to ourselves.... I just don't understand... but I would rather be away from folks like that anyway!
Last night I decided to try to create a small piece just to do something and sort of jump back into creating but not overwhelm myself... so in the group AlteredDesigns I printed this weeks challenge image and created a halloweenish styled ATC from it. It turned out nicely. I got to use a stamp that I just purchased from Purple Onion Designs of an old tree that really gave the wicked Halloween feel I was going for. Then I used my favorite twinkles watercolors for the border and the clouds and added a shiny black bow. :) I know its simple but I really didn't want to overdo it and wanted the image to still be there with out be totally overlooked with embellishments etc. It was nice to create something again... its a good start to getting back into the groove of things! Just thought I would share! Hope everyone is doing well! Happy Crafting to you all!
