"Even on my weaker days, I get a little bit stronger."
- Sara Evans
It's been a rough week. Not bad by any means but just emotionally draining. I've been challenged by the newest member to my "team of help" and it has not been easy. I love her to death but her "plans" aren't so fun. But I'll give myself some kuddos for handling my uneasiness and panic moments with safe and healthy coping mechanisms. I've taken time for myself these past two weeks and worked on my Chicago scrapbook, rearranged my entire room, hung up new frames, took down janky shelves, started on some new coffee sleeves and crafted some greeting cards. I've also watched mass amounts of Criminal Minds, a movie called The Road (it's dark and not uplifting...I wouldn't recommend it), almost finished Blue Like Jazz, spent more time in the living room verses my bedroom, decorated the house for Valentines Day (which includes our Christmas tree with heart ornaments) and laughed more than I've cried. Now, it hasn't been a walk in the park but I'm trying and I'm pushing forward no matter how hard or how much it hurts, I'm moving forward.
So here are my cards I made...they were the first attempts of making cards so cut me a little slack. I haven't finished the sleeves yet so I'll post pictures soon!
I also got my TWLOHA shirt in the mail today!

I love love love making cards. And cardstock and paper and fancy-shaped hole-punches and all that stuff. :) I really like your last purple flowered one.
And good for you for allowing yourself to be challenged. It's rare but valuable to have people in your life who know when to push you out of your safe zone a little.
