Brokeshopaholic's Blog: February 2017

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. Might have something to do with the fact that I had a four hour glorious nap yesterday afternoon!
I've taken to posting videos to my blog of ideas that I would like to learn from in my studio, from various crafters I admire. The main one and most recent one, is Kylie Bertucci. She's from Australia and I just love her designs, her witty personality and charm. She's my card making celebrity hero! I've just recently joined her monthly RAK group, which I am very excited about. So today I am planning to quickly do some chores and then spend time in my studio where I can do some major card making. I have a few Thank You cards to make and as well, some Shower cards to make. So right now I am searching in my emails for ideas of cards I have sent myself over the past couple of years. To inspire my creative juices.
My right knee is still a problem and I'm still walking with a cane. It's a major drag having so much pain. Next week I am going for a cortisone injection. Hopefully that helps. My back is out of what as well so walking is not going well with the knee, my left fused ankle and my throbbing back. What a mess I am. I am determined though to heal and get better.
It snowed all day yesterday. Beautiful snow, but it caused my lunch and dinner dates to be cancelled. I am afraid to go out in the snow with the cane. But it sure is pretty. Looks light and fresh on the trees.
I have given up Starbucks and Tim Horton's. For health and financial reasons. It was tough working nights last week without caffeine. Oh boy! Drinking lots of water which has been good but also keeps me hobbling to the bathroom. I think I need a bladder repair, lol.
Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to post pictures of my own projects to my blog.
