Sketch #457~ cactus cuties, Stampin up

I made this very simple card for the challenge at:
The stamp set featured in this card is:
Stampin Up:  Cactus Cutites 
I really wanted to play with this stamp 
set, even though I am having eye complications
from this rotten covid plague.  
I could not see well enough to get things to line
up and so then I ended up cutting out the little
cactus on the front so I could tie the 
twine around the planter and add a little bow. 
I was very thankful for the little yellow 
embellishments.  It helped to finish the card. 
Even though it's a bright and cheery little card,
that is NO was how I'm feeling.  I seriously
can't believe what is happening.  I have 
impaired vision in my right eye, and now 
moving to the left. They say it's from covid,
but Next Wednesday I go to the eye doctor.
That is the fastest they could get me in. 
God willing my eyes will be safe  It's 
quite frightening.  I won't lie.  I feel like 
all my other belly aching is nothing 
compared to this one now.  my Goodness
the LORD must have me in the trial of testing.

Anyways dear friends of my blog, please continue
to pray, that I will recover completely from 
this covid, and my senses will return, smell, taste,
and mostly my sight.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and
encouragement.  

I'd love to have you follow me on instagram at: 

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
