Yesterday I started to feel like I was getting a head cold. Sometimes that happens and I up my B complex and C vitamins and zinc and I am fine. Sometimes, I got the darn cold anyway. I got many colds every fall/winter when I was teaching but thankfully I get very few now and they are usually very mild. So far this is a very mild one. DH had come down with the sniffles at work Thursday and didn't tell me and he shared them with me when he greeted me with a kiss after work. Isn't he a nice guy? I am thankful because when he gets sick, is not a big baby like most men I hear about - the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Not my DH though. He will rarely even admit he sick. He can be coughing 24/7, burning up with a fever, and when I ask how he is, all he says is "I am fine". My dad is the same way - do you think that has anything to do with the fact that they were both born on December 12th? Hummm....
Feeling like I was getting sick, I decided driving was not the best option with a foggy head, so I cancelled my plans for the day and got in my cuddly warm velour warm up suit and sat down here and got busy designing the tags for the Knit your Bit project for soldiers that Heather over at Summerstead has organized. If you haven't read about it yet please go on over there and check it out and pass it on to someone who can help.
These are the 3 versions of the tag I came up with:
I love stamping in black and then using my Stampin Up brand color coordinated markers to color in the design. I find it very relaxing - just like the kiddos do. All the designs are stamped and colored in, and I hope to finish cutting the card stock and assembling these today. Then I need to take some time this week and design our Christmas cards. I am thankful I have the time and means to be able to put some of myself into creating cards for those who are near and dear to us.
AND THE WINNER IS......
I know, I know, most of you have probably skimmed past all that to get here so without further adieu the winner of my 100th post giveaway is:
That's all for me today folks! We have a quiet weekend planned Behind My Red Door which is something else I am thankful for with this cold my DH shared with me. I like it when he shares his paycheck - his colds, not so much. So I will use this time to putz, make another pot of soup and maybe even relax and enjoy a nice steaming cup of one of my favorite treats in the cold weather months - Spiced Chai Tea.
So until next time - hugs, Linda
