I spent most of the day in my sleeping chair, but I'm better now. I think I just needed the soft blankets and warmth. Now I feel over heated. I think the humidity is up, though.

You?

That's good that you're better now. Oh, that's no fun feeling over heated, hopefully you can cool down. Darned humidity!

I'm doing a bit better... I think? I've not really been pushing myself and I've been letting myself be crafty today, so that helps some. :)
I made a card for a friend who suffers from bad depression, and I just wanted to give her something to remind her that she isn't alone.

I took this screen shot from my instagram because I was too lazy to email the pic over to my parent's computer from my phone. (The word that is covered up by that yellow petal that can't be seen is the word 'you'. :) 'Simply Beautiful, wonderfully, uniquely you' is what that one says totally. ^_^


Each petal layer unfolds, so it will be sent to her totally folded up and will be opened up layer by layer. ^_^

Now to just get her address as she recently moved and I don't have her current address yet. And then to find an envelope that will fit it.

You can make your own envelope! Pretty much anything can go in the mail, as long as you have the right postage for it. I once sent a gigantic card through the mail to a friend, and she loved it. It even got through with absolutely no damage.

Not even to the puffy stickers I'd used, which get crushed really easily.

I could - hmmm, so I have the energy to do that? I may see what mom has and I'll go from there. She's at work for another 2 1/2 to three hours so I'll ask her when she gets home. :)

But that's really cool that it made it there undamaged! That's awesome! ^_^

I don't know if you have the energy for it, but I know homemade things make people happy a lot of the time.

Yeah, Kat loved it, and it really helped her with how her fibro is messing her up in college. I should make her another.

Yeah. I do have a pattern for an envelope, but it's just a tiny bit too small. Sooooo I need to decide if I can convince paper to work with me to let me modify it a bit. Paper and I don't always get along very well.

Awwww, I'm glad that she loved it! ^-^ Homemade things are the best! I made another friend a birthday card that has some of the same things that the flower has on it, but it's just a flat piece of paper, but they're written around a panda that has hearts all around it. ^_^

Maybe you could freehand it? I did that a few times before.

That sounds darling.

I could, but it may not totally work.

I can take a pic and private message it to you, I just don't want to share it here because it has my name on it, and I don't want that out here where everyone can see it.

Here's hoping it does, though

And you don't have to, Cloud. I can imagine it just fine

I can try - I just am lacking motivation to be crafty right now. I still don't have her address - I'm waiting for her to get back to me if she's willing to give it to me - so I do still have time.

But I can, it's not a big deal. ^_^I wanna share it! ^_^ I'm proud of how it came out - took me like three takes to get the panda just right. I'm not huge with drawing.

You know the saying, you fail 100% percent of the things you never start, etc.

And okay, show me

Yeah, I just don't like paper much... hmmm, maybe I can make a felt envelope? That may cooperate better? xD LOL!

Ok, sent to you in a PM! :D

Yeah, it'd be a matter of how to get the name and address onto it, as I don't do very well with embroidery so that would be a challenge to me. :P Hmmm...

You could put a sticker with the addresses on it.

I could, I was also thinking of writing it on fabric and sewing that on. That way I don't have to worry about it getting lost. I would be afraid though of the postage falling off... Hmm... Maybe this isn't the best idea. *lol*

She'll love it. When you get her address I would love to have it to send her something if she's alright with that of course.

That card is really gorgeous, Cloud! :D And I don't think you'd have too much problem if you went with Zira's idea and just used an address sticker. It shouldn't fall off. :)

Thanks Alice! I ended up sending her a pic, as she doesn't mind that it's not a surprise. It actually was pretty simple to make - as I had templates for the three different sizes so it was trace, cut out, fold, glue. :P ^_^
I could do that... I just don't know if I have the energy to convince my felt to cooperate with me - I'm not feeling particularly crafty and crafts only seem to work with me when I'm in the right mood. I may just find a bigger envelope - I still need to ask mom - and see if that'll work. :)
