Different brands And I have to admit I like some company's over others. </p><p>I have been using doTERRA Breathe for a year now and I'm off my inhalers. I was doing better last year but still had to wear my mask while outside, most of the time. (Not just because of COVID) anyway I started a new medication that is natural and is has boosted the effectiveness of the oils. No mask while outside on my porch...</p><p>So... I thought I would share with you all a link to the lady that helped me. Her name is Viola Gatlin. She is a real sweet Lady! you can reach her at this link <a href="https://www.doterra.com/US/en/site/violagatlin" target="_blank">Viola</a><a href="http://www.my.doterra/violagatlin "> </a></p><p>And just so you know, I'm not selling anything, I get nothing out of it if you order. That's not why I'm sharing this. It truly has helped me and I wanted to share. I know all people are different and what works for one might not another. But you won't know if it will help unless you try.</p><p>I'll be posting some cards again soon. in 2 weeks playing with paper I've made about 50 cards. My sister runs out of cards faster than I can make them for her. lol and my daughter has asked for a few, so...</p><p>Hope you all have a wonderful week. </p><p>Love Nana</p>Nanasniftynitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11068198986514065055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424797709318170245.post-85521130848276932012021-03-06T16:54:00.003-08:002021-03-06T16:54:49.403-08:00It's been a while...<p> Well hello" I never really did much over at bloglovin...LOL </p><p>Hubby and I moved out of mom's so we are considered empty nesters again.

<br />
I’m changing over to Bloglovin as Google is changing so many things. I actually thought blogger and Bloglovin was the same thing for a short time😂 my brain is more a sive lately. Sorry I have been so quiet hear... but have been quite everywhere lately. <div>
<br /><div>
Helping my mama and teenage girl is taking time, not that I do that much. We all work at helping each other. I feel so bad for mama as I can’t do anything for her pain. And having raised 3 boys, having my niece now is fun, and educational. Girls are so SO different than raising boys. lol But I love her as my own and wouldn’t change having her for anything!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well life keeps going... and I must get going too. Love to all! </div>
<div>
Thanks for reading and sharing with me.</div>

My hubby talked me into going to ST Thomas USVI... I cant believe I said yes...So I know we will be busy and enjoying some sun and fun. Not to mention 3 little boys I haven’t seen in a couple of years. So excited! I watched mama grow up into a fine young woman and wonderful mama. Hard to believe she has 3 boys like I did. LoL I’ve never been on a plane or out of the United States.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Funny but first thing I could think of packing was some craft supplies to keep my hands and mind busy. This will be so different. I’m not a big people person because of having multiple chemical sensitivity. Shoot laundry detergent, shampoo and deodorant are horrible triggers not to mention perfume and cologne 😰Can’t take oxygen tank on plane, in case I need it. And insurance turned down using a pulse concentrator. Because they say I need steady flow. So going without. Have new mask and hubby says they have air vents that can blow in my face, so I’m going to try and be positive. This is going to be great!</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
A couple of reactions are either bawling and feeling like I’ve been beat with a bat from head to toe. Or I can get rather violent and down right mean. So Rescue Remedy, ✔️ meds, ✔️ masks with new filters✔️✔️✔️ I got 3 of them 😉</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
This is going to be in part our second honeymoon. We got married on a Saturday afternoon 37 years ago in May. Early Sunday morning he woke up sicker than a dog (streptococcus) and Monday morning I had it... so we spent our first 2 weeks together 🤒. Our boys are grown and have families of there own, so we thought this would be something we could do for ourselves.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
This is going to be a great adventure!!! Will post pictures when I can. We leave in a week from today. I can hardly wait...</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: #444444; font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Until I post again...XO Nana</div>

I have been working on some lovely crocheted Cowls. I found them on You Tube. If you like them go to the links and I will send you strait to where I learned how to make them. Don't forget to leave some love for the ladies that share so much with us too.<br />

I'm fighting the SAD again... welcome fall and winter. So am trying to stay a bit more positive and I thought this saying was perfect for this image, She just makes you smile! I printed her out a number of times and used foam tape to make her 3D. Bottom pictures show from the sides her layers. Hope you enjoy her as much as I did making this card.<br />

I was able to actually make a whole card this month. WOO HOO well 2 really. HA<br />
This one is made with a digi from Gerda Steiner, she has some of the cutest little things. And if you buy the digi of the month and then get a card made and show her, she will send you the next moths digi for free. So if you keep making cards you earn more digis. If you are like me though I love her digis and end up making something late or not posting then I don't get the next digi. lol such is life... a day late and a dollar short.<br />
<br />
Anyway- on to the card. Whenever mom doesn't feel good she wants oatmeal. So tried to make it look like oatmeal in the bowl. The spoon is partially 3D (the handle is glued to the original and the bowl of the spoon is 3D with an 1/8 inch dot) and the Bowl of oats is on thicker foam pads. Hope you like it. I mimicked mom's bowl too it is blue glass. I put paper glaze over the bowl. She thought it was cute.<br />

She will be a lot prettier when I get her colors blended.<br /><br />
You can get this image at The Paper Shelter. I love that if you want a certain image they do have them pre-colored or you can color it yourself. Join up and get there email, they will let you know when they have a sale and then you can get more bang for your buck 😉<br />
Hope you are safe and having a great weekend.<br />

Well I didn't get any coloring done, but I did un-mount some of my red rubber stamps. I cut up a bunch of glossy photo paper and stamped it with the stamp and then put it in a trading card holder. Not bad..<br />
Love the idea of seeing what I have in a quick glance than rummaging through the boxes of stamps.<br />
I'll get organized yet... Pictures will be posted as soon as I can get them uploaded.<br />

This was 2 small box of stamps they all fit in a 11/2" binder. I am using trading card holders. I'll get some picture ones later for the bigger stamps I have.

Well it has been 3 months with no post... I have missed it. I also have been missing my crafting time.<br />
Yesterday I was able to make a card for our oldest grandson as he graduated 8th grade. I know that isn't what they call it now, but same in the end. lol He got a lovely award for mathematics. I asked our Daughter (il) what he would like as a gift and she said "He is into a lot of drawing and sketching." So I found a good deal on some pencils, charcoal, pads etc... He was very pleased. I wanted to make a special card for him, he is such a sweet young man. I found a digi at <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/" target="_blank">The Paper Shelter</a> I thought would be good. It is the <a href="http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=72" target="_blank">Cockatoo Rules!</a> Isn't he cute! I will post a picture of my card and Grandson below. You will see I gave him a green Mohawk, when you see my grandson you will understand why! ha ha ha... And what boy doesn't like motor bikes...<br />

His Mama & Papa were both so proud. Mama tried to kiss him and papa put his hand up, then she tried again and he slid over to his dad's side and his dad kissed him. Oh man you should have seen the face and heard the sounds. rofl His dad said "Kind'a weird you out?" He was laughing so hard. He has really sprouted this year too. Mama is 5'11 and dad is 6'. I love my kidos!<br />

For my family... be it Blood or Spiritual, I am going to stop blogging for now. As it just takes up too much of my time and energies. I am also unsubscribed to almost everything.<br />
<br />
I need to get away from the computers and take care of things in my real life. It is always hard to change what we do, but it has to start somewhere and I feel this is best for me right now.<br />
<br />
I have learned so much from a lot of different people online, which I greatly appreciate very much.<br />
TLC, The Ton, Altnew, The Paper shelter, Besties, Snoopy's, FPTFY, Splitcoast Stampers, Vera, ADFD, Sami Stamps, Birds, Miss Kate Cuttables, So so many blogs I have followed and learned from. Too many for me to list. Buggabo, TiddlyInks... And this used to be all cake blogs when I was baking, traded paper for the sugar. But it all has to be put into place!<br />
<br />
I will still craft but it is going to be after other things are accomplished, or I should say in between things. As I know with my health I will have good days and bad. I just don't want to waste anymore of my good days doing nothing. I need to get more active and I can't do that looking at a computer screen all the time. It has gotten to the point that if we go on vacation I have to have my laptop or Ipad. Not good for communication with the hubby or anyone...<br />
<br />
So I will probably check in once or twice a week for now. Instead of off and on all day. I will get weaned from this I am determined!<br />
<br />
Love you all so very much and hopefully we can get together soon, Service? or maybe have a meal or watch a show.. but at least spend time together, without my nose in a computer.<br />
<br />
XOXO Nana April</div>

I saw a post the other day of someone who did a gorgeous card on black paper. Well poo I thought I saved it but I can't find it... Anyway if the blogger that I saw reads this and lets me know I will give proper credit where due. She had black card and blew white ink on it then stamped. Very pretty card. Now the card I made isn't even close, but I kind of like it.<br />

Only being able to use one hand is killing my craft time. But I was able to get a few cards finished, thanks to my new <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/" target="_blank">Hampton Arts</a> <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3207" target="_blank">Stamp Perfect tool</a>. I love it. I am also in love with a few stamp suppliers... but am not able to afford them. Again I want to Thank <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/" target="_blank">Hampton Arts</a> for being there with some very nice sets.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://altenewblog.com/" target="_blank">Altenew</a> has the most gorgeous layered stamp sets and some with dies, Love the coffee set ☕☕ and some of the floral are just so pretty!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://thetonstampsblog.com/" target="_blank"> The Ton</a>- OMG.. their Poppies are so Gorgeous! and they have so many beautiful Stamp sets to chose from. Like the Macarons, they are so cute and pretty done up.<br />
<br />
Check out these blogs, they have challenges and prizes too. I have to say I was in love with the MISTI, but knew I couldn't afford it no matter what reviews were. But I have to say I love Hampton Arts. They have some beautiful layered stamp sets and ink sets that are affordable to crafters on a budget. I got the Stamp Perfect and the stamp sets <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3337" target="_blank">Flower Amaze</a>, <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3344" target="_blank">Roses </a>and the <a href="http://www.hamptonart.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=3381" target="_blank">4 pack </a>of inks in pinks. for less than the least expensive MISTI. <br />
<br />
I'm posting this as my own opinion... It is like the nose 👃 on my face, my own... everyone has<br />
one. lol I am not getting any compensation for my comments. I just wanted to share. I love the top end of stamping and crafting. But when you can't afford it --- you find something almost as nice if not nicer and go with it.<br />
<br />
Now if you have your own opinion and would like to share with us please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Here are a couple of the cards I made.<br />

On the bottom one I didn't have the stamp stuck to the Stamp Perfect and it fell on my paper. I was just finishing this card when that happened so I splotched ink all over and I kind of like it. lol So even mistakes can turn out pretty.<br />
Have a great rest of your week!<br />

I know old saying but it fits... I was able to join in viewing the Ton's Blogversary. And I was, as my youngest sister would say when she was little - a fortunate cookie. I was going to take pictures and forgot... (slap hand to forehead) The beautiful Vera Yates <a href="https://lingshappyplace.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-tons-2017-anniversary-release-blog.html" target="_blank">Here</a> drew my name for a wonderful surprise!! Oh my! And she lovingly added a beautiful hand made and signed card. I will try to get pictures up soon.<br />
<br />
I am still one handed as I tore the ligaments from my thumb when I fell 4 months ago. Got the cast off but am in a very tight brace and am not to use my left hand especially my thumb, not to move it at all for another 4 weeks. I want to craft so bad... With all the lovely goodies Vera sent and all the new things I'm learning form all the wonderful people doing the blog hops... Goodness I had no idea how many ways I could learn to use ink and papers☺<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week! xx<br />

Well it has been a while since I have made a post. A short update for the last few months.<br />
<br />
My sister had a stroke in August. Have had her daughter and bird every since.<br />
<br />
My cousin is back and living with us all here at the funny farm ;-) Her little Lucy dog had to be let go a couple of weeks ago. Now Baxter is lonely, even though there is 2 other dogs in the house.<br />
<br />
Mom is getting a total knee replacement in a couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Good news on Bug, her knee isn't broken after her fall at school. And I need and MRI to see if I need surgery on my thumb after my fall 2 moths ago.<br />
<br />
The trailer is half demolished... I can't due anything due to my hand and I am so sick of looking at the mess! <br />
<br />
And tomorrow is my paternal Dad's funeral. And I can't go.. I feel so bad for my step Sister as she is having to deal with all of this on her own. And I hope family (down there) is supporting her and not causing problems. I truly appreciate all she has done for our dad over the years.<br />
<br />
I was so tickled when she told me dad gave her the house, as my sister (DP) and I don't want to live in California. She deserves it for all the help she gave dad & Bet all her life. Granted we all need help at times and it is nice to have parents who care and can help. But... and this is a BIG one, just because one sibling is given something doesn't mean the other(s) aren't loved or cared for. Each is given by their need and ability.<br />
I know there is always 2 sides to every story. Deb told me her side. And I know Rob has his. But I will say this for Rob, he has always come across as self righteous and arrogant, but he can be a love at times too. (can't we all) I know he has worked hard to get where he is and for what he has. But to complain about his sister getting something because he didn't. Come on, grow up and put the big boy pants on. You said everything you have is better than what dad has or had. So why should you get anything extra just so you can sell it??? I don't understand.<br />
<br />
Dad inherited you both when he married your mom and he treated you both fairly. He loved you as he did my sister and me. And it was his right to give Deb the house. And to demand part of the land or you wouldn't go see your dying mother... shame on you! That is something between you and your god. I know I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.<br />
<br />
Well I need to get off my soapbox and see to the family. Maybe things will take a turn soon. And for that big turn- I am awaiting with excitement and hope.<br />
