Golden Threads and Rainbow Colors

Hello Stamplings,

I hope this finds you doing well and you aren't being blown away by the wind. I'm a very fortunate lady to have friends all around the world and talking about the fierceness of the wind is one thing (besides crafting) that has been consistent in our correspondence the last few years. Batten down your hatches! And if you don't have a hatch, have a drinkie-poo!

I had to jump in and play with Ina's Trend Week challenge at Just Us Girls where she wants us to use foil on our alcohol ink panels. Here's a portion of the panel Hammy and I created.

I decided to make an Easter card for those of you who celebrate, so I used a PTI oval to cut eggs from the panel to use on my card:

Very simples. The grass is a die from Poppystamps cut in three different colors for some dementia. Also playing in:

Double D: Easter.

Pixie's Snippets Playground: A/G, but must use snippets, which I did for pieces of Yupo and grass.

Poppystamps: Add texture.

Twofer

I made this simples card a while back using some of that gorgeous gold-outlined pp pad that I received from a dear friend. I was chuffed to find a piece of colored card that matched the beautiful shade of green in the pattern. The beautiful font sediment die is also from Poppystamps.

Then This Happened

A botched visit to a plastic surgeon for lip fillers? Haha, no, thank you! This young woman is unnamed in an article I found on the interwebs about angioedema. I wanted you to see what the lips did and not be distracted by all the age spots and winkles I have. But my lips do look like that. I woke up that way this morning. Spider bite maybe? I hadn't eaten anything out of the ordinary.

I took a couple of Benadryl, but my upper lip did not diminish in size so we headed to the emergency room at noon. The doctor recognized it as a symptom of an Ace Inhibitor type of medication I take for heart disease and he took me off it immediately. Then he gave me a cocktail in my arm (what's the fun in that?) of all magical things that would make my lips return to normal size. Five hours later and nothing had happened so he sent me home.

Hopefully, it will just take another coupla days to get better and it won't get worse in terms of my tongue and throat swelling, too, which can happen. We don't want that. That would be very bad.

Gee, so far 2022 has blanked the blank and blank. But it will get better! It always does! Hold on and Happy Easter!

Mwah!

Life is too short!
