Here are the beginnings of my Christmas greeting cards this year...(sorry for the glare!!)
I have made 6 of them so far ; they will be mounted on cardstock and mailed out in lovely scalloped kraft envelopes....
(For those of you who have asked: Torn pieces of an old French Grammar, stamped with archival black ink for the backgounds; trees from a magazine; and then Heidi Shine gold spray....all affixed with matte medium). I truly enjoy putting these together each year...
{Last year was the only one that I just wasn't in the mood after Mom passed--but this year I am feeling better }
I have moved Helga to her resting area until after my eye surgery is over;
hung up the front ofConnor's quilt along with the backing fabrics and border pieces
in my closet ready to be re-started in January;
and will be taking a respite until my eyesight has been taken care of.
I have a lot of glare issues and at this point cannot seem to see much with or without my glasses....ugh!!
I begin my pre-surgery drops on Halloween (my hubster said "Too bad you didn't
have the surgery that day--you could be a Pirate ---'aaaaargh!!' " --
he is such a comedian LOL).
I will go in on Thursday for the op.
At this point I am sick of waiting around....and getting eyestrain headaches...
So, I will be taking a bit of a respite from posting--just a few weeks....
just so you know., guys
..
hugs,
I appreciate all of your encouraging comments and lovely messages throughout this year...
Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse (impatient-euse!!)
