Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well. This year has been very bad weather across the US; and I am sure that is contributing to people getting sicker this year. I feel bad for everyone on the East coast; as their weather has been worse this year; and it is still a problem for many.
I have been sick and in bed with the flu since a week ago Sunday night. I never stay in bed; no matter how sick I am; but I had no choice with this flu. I have been trying to stay up a few hours at a time; but then I had a set back on Sunday. I had the flu shot; so it makes me very upset to have gotten the flu; even if it is a different strain. It is very frustrating.
I finally got this card finished. I colored it the day before I got sick; but I was too sick to make a card with it. This is another new image Conie Fong "Serenity"; which is one of 3 images currently on special through the end of February, at Conie's etsy store. Conie Fong is celebrating her 3rd year Anniversary with Etsy.

I hope you're beginning to feel better, Gloria. It is upsetting getting sick even though you got the flu shot. We've never gotten the flu shot.
