I'm sorry I haven't been around much recently, I have been suffering from some rather nasty headaches. As some of you may know, I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration a couple of years back and I think my eyesight is beginning to get worse, especially with the reduced light that Autumn is bringing and spending time looking at a screen is straining them. I have decided to drastically reduce my screen time and so I will not be visiting everyone's blogs as much, I will still be making cards and posting on my blog but will just limit my time on social media and commenting - I hope you all understand if I don't visit you as much as usual.
This is another card that I have created with my recently purchased First Edition The Twelve Days of Christmas collection.
I have used three of the papers and a topper, this time I used cream card stock to layering everything on and fussy cut a couple of doves from one of the other topper sheets.
Thank you for popping in today, please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Good morning Pauline. Sorry to hear about your headaches. Yes limiting the time looking at small screens will help. I do it at times when my eyes are being naughty. Take care, Kym xxx

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the MD is causing problems, and I certainly understand - DH suffered from MD in both eyes, and despite the care and treatment of the medical system, it gradually got worse.

Sweet Pauline, thank you deeply for sharing more about the serious medical challenges that you are contending with. Really and truly, please do not worry for the tiniest of moments about your screen time. My own health has been far from a picnic this year and I've drastically reduced my own as a result, so can certainly relate on that front.
ReplyDeletePlease know that you, your creations, and the beautiful kindness you've blessed many peoples' sites with over the years are all adored and sincerely appreciated by all those who have had the pleasure of knowing you over the years.
Please try to put yourself and your health first as often as possible and know that we'll be here for you no matter how often you post or comment.
Immense hugs,
