back to crafting...

for today, anyway.  I have had such a crazy last few months and missed having time for some sort of creative outlet. I never realized how much I need that to keep some measure of perspective. That said, I took this evening to work on a card for the Progressive Challenge at CDAC. These are free images and you have until  end of March to create something.

My daughter is in Germany and having a real rough go of it lately. We discovered a gluten intolerance just before she left and she's been able to avoid the nasty food for most of her time there. However, over the Christmas break she wasn't so fortunate and is now living with the painful consequences. She has been on my mind a lot these last days - well, it seems we have been focused on her health this whole month!  Between text messages and researching gluten intolerance and researching foods that will help with a detox and then more text messages... it's been crazy.

Anyway. I hope that this card will bring a bit of a smile when she receives it and hopefully by then she will be feeling a little better?  In the meantime, prayers will continue to lifted and carried on her behalf.


Thanks for stopping in today.

Edith, this is such a pretty project. And I am so glad that you are finding time for crafting. I understand exactly what you mean. Life gets crazy, but we really do have to make time for ourselves sometimes.

Such a beautiful card, I can see the love that you put into this card. You have coloured the image so beautifully. I pray your daughter get he health issues under control very soon. It isn't nice having a gluten intolerance, I too have it but maybe not as bad as your daughter. I will keep her in my thoughts.
