This week at Shopping our Stash we want to see something caffeinated - coffee, tea, you get the idea! I grabbed my oldest mug, and a tea sentiment, and made my first tea card in a loonnnnng time (coffee does have my heart, after all!)
Supplies: mug from Market Street Stamps; sentiment from Reverse Confetti; 'steam swirl' from PTI; Palette Noir ink; Versamark & clear EP; distress inks for watercolouring; papers from American Crafts; enamel dots from MME
Who doesn't love a warm cup of happy? Come see what we made:
And you have until Monday October 26 to come play!
It's been a hell of a week, personally - I was in the hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis, and am slowly adjusting to using insulin. Months of slowly rising sugars led to a spectacular surge last week, and my doctor kept saying 'better get those down' instead of making adaptations to my medication. I'm definitely looking forward to not being exhausted all the time! I won't be complacent about my diabetes again either - this was extremely scary, and the number of times I've been yelled at that "YOU COULD HAVE DIED..." I scared everyone else too. Live & learn, and I'll be a better advocate for myself - I never would have accepted this approach if it were my kids, so I shouldn't have accepted it for myself.

The key here is LIVE and learn. Tsk Tsk. I'm glad that you're out of the hospital and starting to get back to your snarky squirrely self. As a coffee lover, I give this card two inky thumbs up! Love the fun color scheme!
ReplyDeleteIt's just way too easy to be complacent about one's own health, isn't it? I probably pay more attention to the cat's than mine. :D Glad you've got some GOOD treatment now.
ReplyDeleteAnd the card... love it! I miss Market Street stamps, and that giant tea cup is great! Great colours and design.
