Another hot August day and a freebie

Had trouble sleeping last night. Itchy skin whichI think is due to mold spores since we've had so much rain latedly. Got out of bed at a little after 5 a.m. and took Benedryl but couldnt get back to sleep. Started on a challenge page and in looking for elements to use, guess what I found? Yes, that big folder with all the Birthday Girls stuff and more/ Just happeened upon it after having done searchespreviously to no avail. So now I've loaded August Girls to dropbox [sigh of relief]. I really love my old computer (using it now) but it runs on Windows 8.1 which is no longer supported. It has been giving me trouble with Google too and dropbox notified me it will no longer support the box I have come September. I'll have to use the new Windows 11 computer which is slower than molasses and use dropbox there. Wouldn't let me transfer this account but has it attached there to my gmail address which I rarely use. I'm going to have to transfer everything to new computer and that is going to be a nightmare All that aside, here is the promissed kit:

Breath of Spring part 2

Thanks for nice comments on new kits and kind words and prayers for my friends in GA. Things seem to be improving there. My son's second epidural brought no relief. Looks like it is back to the orthopedic and possible surgery. He is miserable enough that he got approved for intermitent FMLA. Good because it holds his job should he have to take some time off but bad because DIL is only working part time right now and his time off woud mean financial difficulties. he says right now it is just a matter of one day at a time.

New freebie

It's another Monday and once again, I'n getting little done. One of those low energy days. I do, however, have a new kit for you with a Spring theme. I'm calling it Breath of Spring. TOmorrow I have lunch with the girls, then Wednesday I head back to PT. Only news here, and it's good, is that my friend's son who was in hospital with Covid pneumonia was released yesterday and no longer has to be on oxygen.

More of Easter Joy freebie

So sorry. I've had migraine a couple days and don't know whether it stems from weather, seasonal allergies or the 3 times I've had cervical traction. All I know is in addition to the regular site of migraine pain, my trigeminal nerve is throbbong in pain. Let me get right to uploading some more zips for you/

March Madness, PT, Easter

Normally at this time of year, my husband and I happily fill out bracket sheets to predict who will win which games in the NCAA March Madness Men's College Basketball Tournament. It can be a lot of fun to compete with each other to see who has the most correct choices. This is the only sport I enjoy watching and I really get into this tournament. Of course, I'm rooting for my university, Virginia Commonwealth as well as the other Virginia schools, University of North Carolina and Duke and, because they tend to be good, Syracuse's Orangemen. What a disappointing year this has been! Just before the game VCU was supoosed to play against Oregon, several VCU players tested positive for COvid so they had to forfeit. And one by one, we saw Virginia temas go down as well as Norht Carolina. There have been too many upsets to name and our brackets are a mess! Also going on - I've started physical therapy again. These first few days, Steve has been working on relieving my neck pain. Yesterday he really worked on the trigger points on the left side of my neck, amazed at how knotted the muscles were. Today I have more range of motion but 'm very sore and achey. Back tomorrow for more. So, with Easter coming April 4 this year, I've got an Easter kit for you. Sort of one and a half because the first, Easter Joy, is general holiday Easter and that will be followed by a mini kit. He Is Risen about the real meaning of Easter.

Zip 3 Harrison freebie

I've been feeling more creative lately. Only wish I was being creative about getting housework done! I actually have a St. Patrick's Day kit ready and waiting. I do need to go do something about my store, however. THere are so many steps to putting something in the store; it can feel like a bother. I should be advertising too but that is a pain. Not as if Echo's customers really care anyway. Nothing much going on here. Due to a mistake with scheduling, Jeremy did not get his epidural after taking two days off work! Had to schedule for March 17th. My friend, Deb, has had to have another 3 blood transfusions since I saw her last! THis is not good. I had missed last luncheon but Steph told me about it. Deb is supposed to have a test of her bone marrow and I am afraid they will find leukemia. I don't know how common the blood problems are among people with Parkinson's (like they don't have enough to deal with) but I have a bad feeling about this. tried to call her husband a few days ago to check on Deb but didn't get an answer. Hope I will see her on Tuesday. In other health related matters, I had my six months check-up with primary doc on Thursday. My blood sugar level is staying at 6.5 so that is good but my liver enzymes are elevated so I have to go back in 3 weeks for another blood test. And husband had his first Covid vaccine that day. Weather has been better - less rain - but temps have been up and down. Nearly 70 one day, another in 20s! Likely to see a lot of colds and flu around here. Here is zip 3 of Harrison:

Day 1 of Harrison freebie

Guess what? Naming this new kit Harrison has gotten a comment from Kristy for whom it is a family name as it is for me. One of my great-grandmothers was related to former President William Henry Harrison of Berkeley Plantation, VA. And so we start the week with the first of 4 zips.

Would you believe?

The heater went out again Sunday night! Left a message about 6am Monday and they got someone out about 10a. Hubby told me to stay in bed under the covers and brought me hot coffee and pop tarts. Another part had given out! Took a couple hours to get it fixed. In about two years (if not sooner) we will have to get a new system put in because we were told in two years the company would no longer be maing parts for the heater which is about 15 years old now. And I finally have something for you! Papers today and elements Thursday. I made separate previews for the papers and elements to give you a better idea of what is included. Today the papers:

More of State Fair freebie

What's a State Fair, Carnivale, Festival without delcious "junk" food. One much favored item is funnel cakes, which I totally forgot to include. Oops! So more backgrounds and lots of food today.

Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d1ghxx75fsbijjy/ws_StateFair_2.zip?dl=0 Gloomy outside today which matches my mood. Just when I thought I was beginning to see a little improvement, I had another accident. Went grocery shopping in high spirits yesterday with plans for things I'd do when I got home. Didn't go that way. I just can't manage to get up from a seated position without something to hold onto or push up from. I'll save a lengthy, embarassing story and just say I required help from paramedics to get up from the floor. They wanted to take me to ER but other than bruised knees and ego, some sweat and tears, I had no injury and knew there wasn't anything the ER would do for me. Once up, with my shopping cart for support, I finished shopping, checked out and accepted help from an employee to load stuff into my car. Did not accomplish another thing. I'm typing this up on Sunday. With the help of my husband who chopped all the veggies for me, I'll make a hearty beef stew today.Will at least do some picking up. Thank you all for kind comments and wishes for better health,
