Hello, Hello!
Hope this has been a good week for you.
Our weather here has been horrible for aches and pains, all week long.
😒
Dear Daughter has been feeling it and so have Honey and I.
I follow Chief Meteorologist David Paul on Facebook. He serves up his forecasts with a side of advice for human barometers, like us. Here's what he posted for March 6-12:
"For you human barometers out there, some notable pressure shifts across the US over the next week could really impact how you'll be feeling.
Starting Friday (March 6), a deep low around 995 mb/29.38" digs into the Central US (Plains to Midwest, like Denver to Chicago), with falling pressure there likely ramping up migraines (sinus swelling, vessel dilation), fibromyalgia pain/stiffness/fatigue, autoimmune flares, or vestibular dizziness/vertigo as the system approaches. Highs hold in the West and East, so rising/stable pressure there might offer some relief.
By Sunday (March
low pressure (991 mb/29.26") will extend across the North and Southern Canada, with falling pressure expanding eastward towards the Great Lakes - potential symptom spikes there - while central areas see rising pressure post-low.
Tuesday (March 10) brings another deep Central US low (991 mb/29.26"), so renewed falling pressure in the Midwest/Plains, rising a bit along both coasts.
Finally, by Thursday (March 12), one low moves to the Northeast with falling pressure, while a new one forms across the Northern Plains (both around 996/995 mb/~29.38"). Falling pressure in these areas could hit hard, but rising pressure in the Central/South could ease symptoms mid-country.
If you're in the significant swing zones, prep with hydration, rest, and meds - stay strong, you're not alone!"
And oh yeah, we Americans (or most of us) also have Spring Forward Day on Sunday.
Changing to Daylight Savings Time and losing an hour.
Oh, that'll make us feel even better!
😖

The theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is HORSES, hosted by Anne.
I literally have nothing big enough to fill up a 4x6 area except this digital stamp line art so I used it. My files say it's by Angie's Digital Stamps. If I am remembering correctly, this lady Angie was on a design team I was on, and she gave us her images sometimes. I think that is how I acquired it. At any rate, the image is somewhat endearing to me. I chose the text because it looks to me like a mare teaching her foal to obey human commands when to gallop or stop, so she is telling her to giddy up (and we think humans teach them to do this - HA!)

Anyway, I saved it figuring I might someday need it and lo and behold! In PSE, image was resized and layered onto a 4x6 framed background. Text added and then printed out on white card stock. I colored it with Promarkers.

Here's a birthday card I made for a girlfriend.
White A2 card base, K&Co. designer papers, Spellbinders Hem-Stitch Rectangle die used on the base paper and also the small diagonal square, MFT wavy lines die cut out of the red dp, Sunny Studio strawberry stamps and dies, Avery Elle margarita and lime dies, MFT stamped sentiment, Wink of Stella and Stickles on the glass, white gel pen on the strawberries.

Angle shot to show the glittery shimmer.

And the sketch I used.

Okay, that's what I have for now.
I will definitely be back to post sometime on Sunday.
So, see ya then and thanks so much for your visit!

Now that is a weather report. Love your cards. Giddy up is too cute and the sip sip hooray is the perfect birthday card. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has just been crazy all over the place lately. We had snow one day, 50 degrees and spring the next day, and then snow was back. March is certainly bi-polar, at least in my area. :0
ReplyDeleteNice art today. I especially like the margarita glass. I had one the other night, and I hadn't had one for ages. Adding the curved red pieces give it some nice dimension. Have a great weekend, and hope the aches and pains lessen- and maybe the weather will settle down too. hugs-Erika
Your horses look happy and make your card beautiful 🤩
ReplyDeleteI wish our weather forecasters would add a humour sometimes, they try but on different subjects. I must look up this guy, great forecasting and fun too. Your horse card is so lovely, it's very gentle I think. Then what a difference, love your martini card, so colourful and sparkly, love the colour mix, with the strawberry paper and fruit added. I hope you all feel better soon. Yep looking forward to those lighter nights, although it's still light at 6pm now, a start. Whew. x
ReplyDeleteLove the shimmery drink card - so fun :)
