Hello friends! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer or winter; depending on where you live. It has turned hot in Southern CA; and going to get hotter. I wish we could skip all the hot weather and just have 60's or 70's all year long; like we use to have. I know some people love the heat; but I love cooler temperatures; just not cold.
I haven't had much time to create lately. I have had more health issues; so have started trying to get more exercise; which means less time in the craft room. I didn't know exercise could be so much work. LOL! I use to swim in the mornings before I became allergic to chlorine. Then I danced with my husband; taking dance lessons, before I became allergic to the smells from cologne, perfume, etc. Now I either ride my bike outdoors when it isn't too hot or ride my indoor bike; which is harder to ride than my outdoor bike. LOL! My husband has started walking with me in the evenings if it isn't too hot for me.
I created this card for a dear friend of mine who is going through some life changes right now. I used Conie Fong "Sunflower Bella"; which I have wanted to use for quite some time. You can find it at the Etsy store.
