Positivity
one of the things i enjoy most is making positivity books, i use everything i can find in this big wide web and use all of my scrapbook resources to make some uplifting pages, i usually give them to friends especially as i am a member of some Fibromyalgia support groups, and sometimes you just need that little extra push or reminder to get up and get on, and sometimes it may just be the get up that happens but hey, we should all judge our achievements differently, what is an amazing achievement for me might be something you do every day, like making it through a day without a nap or two, or even getting up and getting dressed, it all depends on how well i feel that day, there is so much talk about how FAKE fibromyalgia is, and fair enough, i used to think it wasnt as bad as it sounded, i mean, my friend who had it seemed to get so much done, and the childminder who had it was still an amazing child minder so when i was diagnosed finally i sat there asking why i couldnt do what they were still doing it was long before i joined the support group, and to be honest i was certain mine wasnt fibromyalgia, i had been diagnosed with M,E. years ago and just felt that perhaps i had been in remission from it for years, and the pain i thought might be from the Ehlers Danlos syndrome, i knew friends who commonly had pain from that. i am glad i kept an open mind, as it meant that i learned more about this illness and admittedly that does mean i get very angry when i hear, Oh, My sister had that, she just got out more and is so much better now, or, have you tried this diet or that diet, and worst of all is being told its all in my head, i have had CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) which does actually retrain the brain and i still have fibromyalgia so rules that option out, truth is, it is all to do with the nervous system and it misfiring or something, it kind of goes in my head bounces around and hides in a corner somewhere for me to remember at 4am when its of no use knowing really,
anyway, its not just the positivity books that keep me busy, i still make cards and boxes, last night gave me the inspiration to make these little cuties, one already has been offered a new home
was talking to a lady in the supermarket who said the boxes would make a lovely gift for a new baby, and my head went to babies first christmas crackers, as well as the kaleidoscope boxes but i havent done that yet, waiting for an ink delivery
but theres plenty of cardstock in the house, apparently im a craft hoarder, when i have a tidier crafting area i will add some photos,
and last but not least i also love making cards,
a small selection of cards, i know, there seems a few here, most have gone to where they belong, and hopefully i will have a happy church with the remembrance cards and new homes will appear for the other cards too,
