Love Card Slimline

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  We just got home from a 2 week road trip, driving from CA to FL!  Wow!  It was insanity!  Road closures, construction, rerouting everywhere, torrential rains (couldn't see anything), winds, hail and tornados.  We had to get off the road for one tornado and took cover in a truck dealership.   It was not a very safe place; but better than the roads.  4 days to get there and 4 days to drive home; plus 6 days with family.  

Our car rental smelled like a perfume bottle; but they were all the same way!  Everything we took with us smells like that car.  We were not able to get a flight that worked for me; so that is why we drove.   I planned 3 weeks out; but all the good flights were gone by that time.  Of course, I didn't even think about it being Memorial week in the middle of our travels.  Lol!     

The best part was spending time with my daughter, her kids and my great grandkids.  We had not seen them in 5 yrs and I had to see them now.  I had never met my 4 yr old great granddaughter until then.  It was a nightmare trip and my husband had to do all the driving.  I planned to help drive; but I couldn't do it with all the insanity of the weather, road closures, construction, etc.

We stayed in hotels every night and the smells they use now are really bad for me.  Even though I planned ahead and called each one, more than once, the sprays and chemicals they used was very harmful to me.  I am still working on trying to air out and wash the smell out of everything.  I have been having a lot of trouble breathing while I was gone and now even at home.

COVID changed the world and not for the better.  More cleaners, more sprays, more chemicals, etc.  It makes it impossible for people with allergies/auto immune disorders to do anything or go anywhere.   

I have a lot of cards that I need to post; so just decided to start posting some of them. CTMH has shut down permanently; but I will continue to use their wonderful products until they run out of stock.  The double sided cardstock is at the top of my favorites list; because it cuts easily with the Cricut and you have two sides to choose with each color.   

This set was a special from last year I think; but it sold out before I got my cards created.  It was a lot of fun to create with.  I really love this heart and the DP.
