HELLO!!!

Hello everyone.  I feel like I've been gone for so long.  I do hope you are all well and happy.  I got a new job and it's more hours so that took me away from my crafting.  But I'm in the swing of it now and hoping that I can continue to craft more now.

Also, I suffer with depression and in the last couple of months it has gradually got worse.  It has also affected my memory as I am constantly getting appointments wrong which has been so stressful!   I am on antidepressants but they seem to be not helping me anymore.  I am now going to see a Doctor and get some more help.  I think that getting back to crafting will also help!! :)

On a much cheerful note I have a card to share!



I do apologise but I can't remember where this image is from, she is however, coloured in with ProMarkers.  The papers are new and I treated myself to them because they remind me of Spring (which I hope is on the way soon).  They are Echo Park Celebrate Spring.

  1. That's a really pretty image and I love your colours you have used . Gorgeous design paper. I sufferfrom depression too. My doctor did prescribe pills for it but reading the possible side effects decided they were worse than how I was feeling do didn't take them. Just knowing they were in the medicine cabinet has helped and I'mslowly co ming out of the latest bout. The Spring will help as I love being out in the garden digging holes as hubby puts it!

  5. It's lovely to see you back Michelle and your card is fantastic (she looks like a Time For Tea designs to me!!), I love the bright papers and your wonderful design. I am sorry to hear that the "black mist" has descended, keep on with the medication, it can take some time to take effect and I am sure that getting your crafty fix will help concentrate your mind too...its great therapy!! Take care xx

  8. Michelle, she is gorgeous. LOVE your coloring and beautiful layout. You don't have to apologize for LIFE. You are human. Just hope that you find the right mix of medications or diet (sometimes that can be a factor). Whatever you need to do so that you don't have to live in a fog. Know that there is enough people who are willing to support you. Sending you hugs and prayers from afar!!!

  12. Hi Michelle,
    So sorry ti hear you have not been well.
    I do hope all gets sorted soon.
    I too sometimes suffer with slight depression and when it strikes I don't feel like blogging or crafting.
    Hence I sometimes am MIA for a while.
    Luckily I havem't been so bad lately.
    Your card is so lovely and what a sweet image, and your have coloured it wonderfully.
    Beautiful papers also.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

  14. Hi Sweetie, lovely to see you back. Depression is a horrible thing. I know I suffer from it too. Weather doesn't help either. I hope you feel better soon sweetie. Crafting does help as you can get lost in the creation you are doing. Your card is gorgeous.
    Hugs
