I can so relate to everything! I've been going through my Bob/Ufo this week and have made a bit of a dent. I have been thinking of contacting local nursing homes too. Today my brother and SIL came by and we talked over the fence. I gave them some cards for elderly people they know who are isolated. <br />I absolutely love your platinum embossed stencilling and the Iris is spectacular.

It is so delicate looking. I think of the elderly all alone but also think of my kids who have terrible home lives that are stuck with those that abuse them. This Covid-19 is all around terrible in so many ways. People are lonelier these days without this terrible virus. Big hugs.

I am not feeling creative but I've been clearing out my card stash and making multiples of cards to send to elderly, those that live alone and cancer patients. As Jennifer McGuire says card making is our superpower. Take care of yourself.

I actually thought you had thrown them away..eek! So glad to hear that you turned them into cards instead, whew. That iris card is so beautiful that it's amazing it just sat all this time, but this was a great one to inspire all the rest of us to dig into those piles of UFO's and just finish a few. This iris card is also reminding me of how enjoyable the direct to stamp technique is, and I'm off to use that same technique this week. <br />This self isolation hasn't bothered me one bit yet...although I am missing my grandkids something fierce, but I've been surprised that I can't seem to find my mojo now that I have all this free time. Digging out my BOB stash is a good idea, and I'll see where it takes me.<br />Stay well and healthy...and a high five to the Mister for healing so quickly too!Karenladdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392815855900173356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-75690527229651240772020-03-23T18:05:22.042-07:002020-03-23T18:05:22.042-07:00I think I may have to try your solution for my cur...I think I may have to try your solution for my current lack of cardmaking ability - I might not get as many cards as you did, but using some UFOs might be just the nudge I need.

Congratulation for finishing all unfinished projects. Amazing work and amazing and warm call for sending cards to people that are more lonely as usual now in the isolation.

The purple...Oh, your cards are so lovely, Darnell! The purple iris brings back memories of the lovely purple iris's that my Mom would grow when I was young. She also loved snap dragons and roses. I'd rather stay in and craft, which she always encouraged, too. But, my sis, Donna inherited the gardening gene. Oh, I am rambling here...must be 'cause I'm going stir crazy...lol! Seriously, am doing ok here since there is always plenty to do with crafting or cleaning. I am happy to hear that your husband has recovered and is doing better. And, so great that you are using up your bits and bobs. I sent a card to a friend in the nursing home just the other day. It's so sad that we can't visit these people. I also visit people from church who are shut ins. But, a phone call will have to do for now. Anyways, you take good care and stay safe!!
