Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Guardian Angel Arch}

January 6, 2008

Happy New Year to all! I have had a nice weekend putzing around my studio. I can’t tell you when the last time was that sitting in a chair for any amount of time didn’t cause pain. It’s been almost 6 weeks since the surgery and I am FINALLY feeling somewhat back to normal. Dr. said give it six months. I feel blessed to be in his top 5% for physical activity and healing – yet I can’t imagine how tired those must be that are not. It’s done – and I am grateful for that – just want to be “myself” again (not napping and pooping out so easily)…:)

I have many goals for the New Year – hope that I can complete them. Some are just spinning in my head – the others are works in progress. Either way its fun having new things to look forward to…I hope you also have a prosperous New Year. Let’s make 2008 great! :)

This weeks challenge at Gothic Arches is to create an arch using the theme “Guardian Angel”. I created this arch using a vintage freebie from Dawn at The Feathered Nest, stamps from justjohanna, chipboard and word art stickers and prima flowers.

    So happy to hear you are doing so well. Are you back at school now or did you resign? I forget.

    I love your angel. Is the A for Andrew or Angel or both? How is he doing?
