Keeping Menopause Rounded Up


This is a picture of my husband Kenny trying to keep things in order at my house while I go through Medically Induced Menopause (LOL). I know he feels like he is hearding wild cattle or cats or something. The doctor said I could get some hormones when things got a little rough, and poor Kenny is practicing talking like me so he can call in an order now. This is the exact hymn he has been singing over and over like a prayer to God to deliver him.

The Twisted Sister Challenge at SCS this week is to make something in brown with one other color, use two dies or punches, and use ribbon or twine. I think I got this one right.

Do you think God feels like he is constantly herding us, trying to keep us from running off a cliff, drowning in a rushing river, getting trampled when we try to follow the crowd, or being eaten by a coyote? Just a thought.

Easter Hugz to all!!!

    Nancy, this is such a terrific guy card, love it. The border is so nice with the image. You have a way with words, that makes a difficult situation funny! The good news is, "this too shall pass", the bad news it lasts awhile!

    Hugs

    I smiled reading this entire post. I feel so badly for you dealing with this... but did laugh knowing that I will have to let my husband read this in preparation... or call your husband so he doesn't kill me.. or I him :)).
    BIG HUGS to you!!

    Your card is STUNNING!!! I do think that God does that. He wants to keep us safe. He is our shepherd. We just like to do silly things sometimes. I am so happy he is close by watching me so when I get stuck in a trap or step on a thorn he is waiting to pick me back up, brush me off and send me on my way again. And I will have learned my lesson and do what I can to stay on the path he has prepared for me :)

    Big smiles, again
    Heather

    Oh, my, I do know all about that surgically induced menopause. It's been giving me a problem for a while now, with night hot flashes (not sweats, mind you, just the hot flashes), inability to sleep well, and occasional day hot flashes. I am taking black cohosh and evening primrose oil capsules, and for a while, they seemed to hold things at bay. Lately, for whatever reason, it's all just amped up again. Man!

    What a beautiful herding card you've made, Nancy, from a lady who actually owns cattle!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
