Happy new year 2024!

 

Can't believe it's now 2024!   Hope you had a great holiday season!  My online Stampin' Up store is still open so you can see the new catalogs and products, and order items too.  https://marynoble.stampinup.net/

Currently I am still recovering from my left hip surgery with complications in my left leg all the way down to my foot - the surgery aggravated my back and left side so don't have full recovery yet - yuck, so not able to do everything yet.  Slowly working back into being "normal" and getting back to dance, doing stuff around the house, driving, and walking the dogs.  Not been able to do much crafting other than reading about it and continuing to collect crafting stuff.  Didn't get to make any christmas cards or yearly mini-calendars to send out.  But I have been doing low-key exercises most every day in a chair, etc.  I missed going to the east coast to see my mom, and two sons also.  Glad to be able to interact with our 2 dogs but the oldest dog, Tootsi, who is a 14 yr old mini aussie is having issues with her back and hips (severe arthritis) and cognitive dysfunction.  So she had to take meds several times daily that make her sleep a lot but she still eats well and can go in and out of the doggie door most of the time.  I think she appreciates the other dog, maybe thinks she is her puppy, and follows her around quite a bit when she is awake.  

The other thing I have been doing is getting into audible books (really fun) and watching streaming movies and shows.  I did do quite a bit of physical therapy in and out of the pool - but now it's a little too cool to go into the poor, even though it is heated.   I don't like the cool air once I get out of the pool...But at least we don't have snow here in Mesa, AZ.

Hope you have been able to do some crafting and other fun things!

P.S.  Not sure why my posts on the right side aren't showing but I will look into it.  In the meantime, you can check out all Stampin' Up's events, sales, products, and catalogs in the online store.
