Sketch #465~Calming Camellia, Every Chapter, Stampin Up

I had in my mind that I wanted to use 

a certain stamp set, however,  it was too big for the 

sketch design, but that didn't stop me.  

I stamped the image and then cut off the piece I

didn't intend to use.  So instead of a stack of books

it's only one now.   I used tape on the stamp to 

mask it so the print didn't show on the binding. 

Of course I had to make the glasses red. 

 I love the color red/burgundy.

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:
Stampin Up:  Calming Camellia & Every Chapter

Square cards are just fun, even though they cost 

a bit more in postage.  But it's worth it. 

Thought I'd share a little bit of life here lately.  

This pond is around the corner from us, perhaps a 1/2

mile or so.   This is spring in WI. 

And look at my instagram page, Most exciting to 

reach 200 followers, Most likely it won't stay that 

way for long, because people stop following, but 

I'm going to celebrate it anyways.  

If your husband has a beard I recommend this balm.

I just ordered it for my hubby, and he's only used it 

once, so not sure how good it is at taming the mane.

But I will say it smells lovely.  I'm always a fan of

sandalwood. 

Well on the hair note.  I've been losing my

hair rapidly the past couple weeks.

I looked up covid  issues for long

haulers ( which apparently I've been classified as one)

and yup hair loss.  Oh dear friends. this is 

just been a nightmare.  10 weeks today. 

Still struggling with my eyes, the nose, brain fog,

and now rapid hair loss.  Sometimes I just want to

cry, but that's not good for my eyes.  UGH.  

But on a happy  note I found this fun shampoo

with Hubby last week when we went to the store.

It was such a cute bottle I thought I must give it 

a try.   Robb (husband) held it so I could take 

a picture of the "no drink" symbol.  That cracked me

up.  I mean I usually do look for drinks down the shampoo

isle at Walmart.  too funny. 

If any of you have ideas on a good shampoo or supplement

that helps with hair, please let me know.  Thank you.

Then I was playing with the filters on my phone,

since I don't wear makeup, I decided to let my

phone do the work.  I'm like a child with a new

toy, always something to learn and play with on

these phones.  Now if I could just look like that

in real life.  haha

Thought I'd end with HP.  This little fella

loves to sleep close to the radiator heater.

Keeps him toasty.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.  

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

pjs.projects

I've also added a new tab to the bar at the top of my blog.  

I'll be trying to sell a few of my older stamp sets.

So keep checking back to see if there is something 

there you might like.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
