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.

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 <a href="https://www.craftywoolfelt.com/listing/106479581/100-wool-felt-sheets-sheets-of-8-x-12" target="_blank">Crafty Wool Felt</a>. 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!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks so much for joining me today.

This is a bit different: orange lilacs. Here's how this came to be. I had purchased this PSX Lilac stamp from an online sale site, and when it arrived, I wanted to test it to be sure it stamped well.

Then I wouldn't feel badly about tossing it, if it was no good. 😊<div><br /></div><div>But, the lilacs stamped well so I saved the image.

I just haven't felt up to being here on the blog for a while. We had to say a very, very difficult farewell to our beloved cat Cristabel on January 13th. She had been an asthmatic cat for years, and we made sure she received the bimonthly medicine she needed to keep her airways clear. In December, she seemed off, and that medicine did not help her. After a visit to the vet on 1/4 with antibiotics that did not help, we took her to the hospital on 1/11 (same day I started radiation treatments), and discovered that her lungs had worsened badly, very rapidly. The vets were not sure if it was pneumonia or cancer, or maybe both. None of the treatments she received helped. Oh how our hearts broke to watch her labor to breathe, and to know it was time to say goodbye. She was a good friend and companion, and a special family member to us. 💔<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFjjyxzi0rSZ5c_FeRHzzOjBsojEU5y7KiJErZnJys0L2lD17qQrL-9qd5UXwO0G1E6LU52mTAZ6ASjQJlm9Wf956YWReKUH06gR3ZXFBlnhupzMeU6p62apnY-lSZzozDqo7tJymrRkkzH5jb-TE2jGHhx9K84lfBGTmm5sXUksv-6J7rgeeDJejjxA=s1794" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1794" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFjjyxzi0rSZ5c_FeRHzzOjBsojEU5y7KiJErZnJys0L2lD17qQrL-9qd5UXwO0G1E6LU52mTAZ6ASjQJlm9Wf956YWReKUH06gR3ZXFBlnhupzMeU6p62apnY-lSZzozDqo7tJymrRkkzH5jb-TE2jGHhx9K84lfBGTmm5sXUksv-6J7rgeeDJejjxA=w514-h640" width="514" /></a></div><br /><div>Here's my card for today....<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik20j34PuIjWtJfsQwynImIOWes5DjtiYc5mxPc7dBAArJ9iCbDlWy21V2dm8zJOWaM1Dhh4AvHuSwKVIPub3q-N52P97kQpgxmBovBycukqWH0XA9TpuI3PIYhyLj-BFgxiEPhzDlTJoK/s2048/roses+2+-+colleendietrich.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1707" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik20j34PuIjWtJfsQwynImIOWes5DjtiYc5mxPc7dBAArJ9iCbDlWy21V2dm8zJOWaM1Dhh4AvHuSwKVIPub3q-N52P97kQpgxmBovBycukqWH0XA9TpuI3PIYhyLj-BFgxiEPhzDlTJoK/w534-h640/roses+2+-+colleendietrich.jpg" width="534" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Precious Remembrance <i>Happy Mail</i> envelope, postage stamp; Flourishes <i>Roses Are Red</i> rose, sentiment; pearls</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>And a couple more of our precious Bel...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0GKPazR8S0ufn9Ztq8lbnRUsF-yDYlY7RRUfIXN47UK-wYI9YtKq3N4g8DHuDn3lQb_G0EzF780iRuv2tFqW1NZRhrcSGEButnlyN1aZ7KVmAULbtGg3KH6HFwEQd9G_PedFoovdkIBTBbKPlx8dVvuU3OnEnhABiR3I0r97TTXLHCzdpVNzjC-VDtw=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1264" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg0GKPazR8S0ufn9Ztq8lbnRUsF-yDYlY7RRUfIXN47UK-wYI9YtKq3N4g8DHuDn3lQb_G0EzF780iRuv2tFqW1NZRhrcSGEButnlyN1aZ7KVmAULbtGg3KH6HFwEQd9G_PedFoovdkIBTBbKPlx8dVvuU3OnEnhABiR3I0r97TTXLHCzdpVNzjC-VDtw=w632-h640" width="632" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnHt9kCqbYI0qPIK2FlcLRZ3ynjZRt_wdRgI6WN0PcjjH-KCKUea6pNOORR7tbnaxKmRcZKSOenuY8y017TAnHxXcW3lq63Nm3J9q2a7gKsD8WrGKUmvLm-WBkvpx3OGj5Ik67QWL9EyV8-h2C7J9Or3RJ7EvvxOV43WK3r2fo393U93tY1Ct27iJGdA=s1800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgnHt9kCqbYI0qPIK2FlcLRZ3ynjZRt_wdRgI6WN0PcjjH-KCKUea6pNOORR7tbnaxKmRcZKSOenuY8y017TAnHxXcW3lq63Nm3J9q2a7gKsD8WrGKUmvLm-WBkvpx3OGj5Ik67QWL9EyV8-h2C7J9Or3RJ7EvvxOV43WK3r2fo393U93tY1Ct27iJGdA=w512-h640" width="512" /></a></div><i><br /></i><div style="text-align: center;"><i>“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Matthew 5:4</i></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85807/bcdietrich/727707c6201086aeae6038c23d1d3bcd.png" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px;" /></a></div>Colleen Dietrichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00040402653622873853noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116527445730627337.post-18536635827837955712022-01-07T08:59:00.000-05:002022-01-07T08:59:30.068-05:00Very VictorianHappy Friday!

As much as I love this holiday, and the reason for the season, I am kind of glad the hustle and bustle of it is finished. It's the same each year for me. It totally exhausts me. </div><div><br /></div><div>I did get a few new stamping goodies recently, but they are not on display here today. Instead, I've got a sweet bird, two ways.</div><div><br /></div><div>The bird and greenery stamps are from Stampin' Up!'s <i>An Open Heart</i>, which is an older retired set (describes most of my inventory - ha). Subtly in the background of the center pale pink panel, you may be able to also see a hydrangea stamped in pink. The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye <i>Lost and Found Madison Avenue </i>(also old!). I've got the 12 x 12 inch version of that paper pad, so it does take a while to use up.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJfAjE4kuhGBDiw54ZK1PHbhknyMaEtlYA0UsWEvFMgIUObEHxAQnt2ZZcX-EfJG3G2a6ZphvJtpBogrqYnrl2meZt-Bq2e_j5y_vjvoGaGnQPV7CeTHPQB5CWIBYsuHEj8AM-0Hk02QA7GyshTrcJ7Ly2uwNd5p8A4PF0lB3-YkCQmSrQYFrp9D-s_g=s2172" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2172" data-original-width="1931" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJfAjE4kuhGBDiw54ZK1PHbhknyMaEtlYA0UsWEvFMgIUObEHxAQnt2ZZcX-EfJG3G2a6ZphvJtpBogrqYnrl2meZt-Bq2e_j5y_vjvoGaGnQPV7CeTHPQB5CWIBYsuHEj8AM-0Hk02QA7GyshTrcJ7Ly2uwNd5p8A4PF0lB3-YkCQmSrQYFrp9D-s_g=w568-h640" width="568" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stampin' Up! <i>An Open Heart</i> bird & greenery, <i>Itty Bitty Accents</i> flower punch; Hero Arts <i>Hydrangea</i>; The Greetery <i>Sentiment Suite: Birthday</i> sentiment; Papertrey Ink <i>Tiny Tags</i> die; DCWV flower sticker; vintage thread; pearl</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiPkau4SpGWt4x2z4Lim1L7KgtNHv807WKe6yrpR5bD3DncmJ1Bu6u3CNaeqtcEMzeT5cnvAHXE18eduRd2i9fDjSFz1WfYjagNfi8o7hfntcn-7a48HZLSnGdP1BqfHS7hU54cMxCeTf8vlDL3q5fLJjNLKPLKnGiTaKnSlXBd27RtSnKwfpH6lEdkWw=s2184" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2184" data-original-width="1937" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiPkau4SpGWt4x2z4Lim1L7KgtNHv807WKe6yrpR5bD3DncmJ1Bu6u3CNaeqtcEMzeT5cnvAHXE18eduRd2i9fDjSFz1WfYjagNfi8o7hfntcn-7a48HZLSnGdP1BqfHS7hU54cMxCeTf8vlDL3q5fLJjNLKPLKnGiTaKnSlXBd27RtSnKwfpH6lEdkWw=w568-h640" width="568" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stampin' Up! <i>An Open Heart</i> bird & greenery, <i>Itty Bitty Accents</i> flower punch; Hero Arts <i>Hydrangea</i>; The Greetery <i>Sentiment Suite: Birthday</i> sentiment; Papertrey Ink <i>Tiny Tags</i> die; DCWV butterfly sticker; vintage thread; pearl</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Which version do you like better?
