Tuesday freebie - Easter Joy

Had lunch with my friend, Steph, today at Keegan's Bar & Grill in Virginia Beach. It was supposed to be our group lunch but no one else made it. Four were out of town, don't know what was going on with the others. But I know this: we are taking Keegan's off our lunch list. They have traditional Irish food like Bangers & Mash (no thank you) and some usual stuff like sandwiches, burgers and chicken wings. Neither of us liked what we ordered. Steph's sandwich was tastelss, my burger tasted of a heavy addition of white pepper. Could have been some kind of seasoning mix but I could only mange half. Later this month we're going to a Mexican restaurant. Not too keen on that as I have to be careful what I eat but I'm sure there will be smething. Anyway, home now and tired. Weather took an upturn reaching almost 80 degrees today. Warning summer is just around the corner.

Back again with more Easter Joy

Kristi commented that the vintage elements reminded her of cards she received when she was a child and she is right on point! I located a bunch of vintage/retro holiday cards and extracted images from them, often re-coloring or painting and touching them up for elements. I think those old illustrations are so charming and hope you are enjoying them too.

More Easter Joy

Feels like I will never catch up! Laundry almost caught up but so many more chores to do. Still transcribing the notes I took during the seminar and need to write a thank-you note to the host. One of my lunch friends, who has had her former SIL living with her for some years now because otherwise he would be homeless, experienced a shock a few days ago. She went to check on him because he had been unusually quiet and hadn't been out of his room for a day or two and discovered he had died! Haven't finished but 3 of my monthly Just Art challenges and have mostly been trying to catch up there with responding to the work of others. But I'm slowly packing up Easter Joy. Have another zip for you today:

Finally - a new kit on the way to you!

So, I am in catch-up mode. Still have some pain but can function pretty well as long as I don't lift anything heavy (that includes a full gallon of milk!) or reach for anything higher than my shoulder. Here is what I've done in the last few days: worked on getting laundry under control again (pushing basket through the house and lowering it into garage by bumping it down the stairs lol), cooked dinner a couple times, started talking with a young woman who lost her job and is in need of money about taking over the cleaning of our bath and a half, and - here's the fun part - spent several days on-line in a writing seminar! I had forgotten I'd signed up but the host sent reminders. Blessings on Daniel David Wallace who offered a free option to his seminar and re-plays of sessions within twenty-four hours! On a fixed income, I wouldn't have taken money out of my budget for a ticket that would have given me more privledges such as a live workshop and lifetime access to all replays, but his free option was just right for me. I could re-play the morning sessions I'd missed due to my sleeping in and, although much of the information I was already aware of (I taught college composition for two and a half years), I learned a number of new and useful hacks to help with the novel I'm working on. Now that you know what I've been up to, let me tell you about Easter Joy, the new kit for you. With short spells at the computer most days, it has taken me longer than expected. Heavens, it is almost Easter! I haven't put together an overall preview, but do have a preview of all the papers:

And have a preview of today's zip:

You know my love of vintage, so expect to see a number of elements created from old greeting cards, postcards, etc. My intention is to get the whole kit out to you before or at least by Easter day. That said, be sure to stop by often and pic up new zips. *** Links for the kit will be active until last day of April. Here is part one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4x75nrk3rqoktim/ws_EasterJoy_1.zip?dl=0

Brief note & freebie tomorrow. ( or later today if I can.)

I came across this short article about the tradition of dying eggs at Easter and thought some of you might be interested. https://blog.picsfordesign.com/node/390?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=aprils_lottery_results&utm_term=2022-04-06 Pain is improving but reaching and lifting still cause it to increase and I am stll trying to limit computer time because I tend to over extend the time and the positioning isn't optimal.
