Quick update on my shoulder problems: I was feeling better and had less pain in my shoulder (tendon injury) so I did some crafting and, of course, got so enthralled with it that I seriously overdid it. The next three days were pure agony. Doctors have now put me on "Do NOTHING" orders for the next 3 weeks and have specifically forbidden any work at the keyboard. Fortunately, I have family and friends who are willing to type up personal blog posts as I dictate them and to help out with DT blog duties as needed. Also fortunately, by using markers I can still color while lying down so I'm not completely "craftless." lol
I got enough done during my crafting binge that I will have things to post but doctors say if my shoulder doesn't improve during the next 3 weeks, they will put me into some kind of a restrictive brace. For now, it looks like complete recovery may take as much as 2 months.
So, if I'm not visiting and commenting on your blog, it's because of the restriction on being at the computer. I'm not ignoring you - just unable to communicate in blogland for a while. :-D
Here's one of the cards I created during the last creative binge. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps. (I went a little crazy and colored up three or four Bugaboo images!)
Colored with ProMarkers, then cut with a rectangle die from QuicKutz using an out-of-the-box technique on three sides. That was mounted onto a golden yellow card base. I added pale yellow ribbon and one of my signature, hand-sewn bows which had been dyed blue with a ProMarker.
