Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

I’m giving my hand a rest today from a card. I hurt it the other day, I don’t think it’s broke or anything bad like that, but it does hurt. I jammed it really hard and it’s all swollen and bruised. Holding things like stamps, pens and scissors is a little rough. It’s taking me twice as long to make just one card. I’m hoping the swelling goes down so I can bend my fingers and do my live this afternoon, but I will post something on my Facebook page to keep you updated.
