I've been away from here for far longer than I expected. Physical therapy has been part of my life for the last two months and I'm almost finished. After my surgeries in October and November, a lot of strength and range of motion was lost. Also, never knew about this before, but a thing called axillary web syndrome (aka, cording) happened to me and physical therapy has been instrumental in stretching out that unwelcome cord. When the cord appeared (it's inside your body), I could not stretch my arm out very far at all! I looked up my symptoms on the internet and discovered this phenomenon. My doctors confirmed it for me. Look it up if you wish to learn a little more. It's strange and annoying. LOL
Now, a card.
I made this a while back and put it in the shop - and I'm pretty sure it sold. I don't recall seeing it there last time I stopped in with Mother's Day cards. I do so enjoy the look of a white card, but there needs to be texture, subtle differences, so it's not just washed out. I used a little snippet of a pale gray patterned paper for the smaller heart, and used an embossed panel in the background. And that pink felt rose, oh my. I used a nice quality wool felt from Crafty Wool Felt. There are soooo many colors to choose from, and I'd honestly like to buy one of each. 😊 It cut very well with the MFT rolled rose die. A little pearl seemed the best thing for the center, you know I love pearls!

Thanks so much for joining me today. I wish you all blessed Mother's Day, if you celebrate it. 💗
Proverbs 31: 25-28 KJV
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
