Hi Wanda,
  What are you working on now?  I've not done any crafting in a week or so,
 WG³  as I am trying to get ready to go this Friday to Florence, KY to see
 WG³  our son and dil, and come back on Sun.  Also on Sun., my brother and
 WG³  his family will be here from VA. for about a week.  I'm looking forward
 WG³  to both events, but the housework is not coming along as well as I
 WG³  wanted it to...:(  I get so tired and sore before I can do much good.
Sounds like you had a busy weekend.  I have been really sick.  Actually
I've been sick on and off since last May.  This time I have been suffering
from the effects of antibiotics given to me in December for a bacteria I
had.  Now I have some kind of colon problem.  It's been awful.
I finally got to a gastroenterologist and he diagnosed me and gave me some
medicine called "Flagil".  If I thought I was sick before was I ever wrong.
The Flagil was really awful!  So now I'm on a rare and horrible tasting
medicine (very expensive and I'm thankful I have insurance).  If this
medicine works I'm supossed to get back to my normal self in 10 days or so.
I'm praying it works.  I'm so very tired of being sick.
So to answer your question I haven't been doing anything for several days.
I just got some energy today and I made a bookbag for my friend for her
birthday.  It came out cute.  I used stenciled letter and wrote "Alice's
Book Bag" on it.  Then I put some hearts and flowers on it.  On the other
side I stenciled several different things.  Like a flower, a cat, a
flamingo, a butterfly, a palm tree, a star and a moon.  It was fun.
Just before I started the Flagel I made a couple signs using letter
stencils and ink pads and sponges.  That was really fun and easy. I have
lots of stencils that I don't use often enough and I think I'll use some of
them for cards.  Just to do something different.  I spent 3 days making a
card (about a week ago).  I brayerd it so that the top was blue and the
bottom was green.  Then I put grass on it and then I stamped tiny flowers
onto sticker paper and colored them all different colors.  Then I went
around the entire card with the flower stickers.  I folded it into itself
and it attatched at the tree.  It was lots of work and to be truthful, it
didn't turn out that well.  I didn't really enjoy making it.  I like to get
in there and make a card in one day.  Three days is a waste to me.  I think
the only time it would be worth it for me to do that would be for something
really extra special important occasion.  I can't imagine what that would
be though.
I admire people that can do Victorian cards and spend so much time putting
such detail on the inside and outside of the card. I love to get them, but
I don't enjoy making them.  I guess I need to try some simpler ones though.
I made the card just so that I could say I did it at least once.  Next week
I teach my first Beg.RS class and I have my 3rd SU party.  I hope I get
well soon because I have lots to do for next week.  I haven't even figured
out what to do for either of those things, or what supplies I need to do
them.
Keep you fingers crossed for me.  I really need to get well NOW.
