Blue and Green

Hope you had a lovely weekend. It has cooled down a bit here, but the temps will go up again. Tomorrow I start my third session Chemo. I am half way to the finish line and in September my hair should start growing again, I can't wait! It has been too hot to organize myself to take photos of the cards I received, there are so many I don't know where to start! Thank you to everybody who thinks of me!

Just recently a Dutch Christian friend sent me these words:

Difficult moments . . seek God
Quiet moments . . worship God
Painful moments . . trust God
Every moment . . thank God


have a little share today, quick and simple - I can't get my head around difficult cards for a while. What I did which is something I hadn't thought of before. I stamped the bottom half of the stamp and then left a gap and stamped the top half of the stamp. In that gap I placed the sentiment. I'm sure there are many stamps that lean towards this little trick, to use your stamps in different ways. I still want to get the maximum out of them!

    I will be thinking of you as you go for your chemo tomorrow! I love that quote your friend sent you, so beautiful! What a neat idea to use your stamp like that, I need to look at my stamps again to see which ones lend themselves to that idea! You take good care! Bug HUgs

    Beautiful work again, Jacqueline! The colors are cool...nice when you are in a hot season. My best college friend just had her 12th chemo treatment; she has not been able to consider when it ends. I love your saying. Be well.
