"Another Day Another Dollar - Another Week Another WOYWW. September is almost through and it will be Christmas before we know it, the days are going just that bit too fast for me. Did a card the other day for a Mingle I was in and put it in the envelope without taking a scan of it to show you. However I was up in the night for an hour or so and began using some of the Laurel Burch cats I had already coloured in to make some cards I wanted to post out to say thank you for some flowers I had had sent.
Starting left we have a postcard from the lovely Tracey Easson which is covering a package she sent to me with a little project for me to do whilst my back is bothering me (to take my mind off things). Won't show you until it is finished.
Then we have the Laurel Burch cards I made at the back plus some of the cats waiting to be put on more cards - plus a mountain of butterflies. Oops, I can see a very dirty water jar there extreme right, how remiss of me. The kitchen roll is one I used to use when I was doing a background in my journal, I used it to roll over the whole page taking some of the ink/paint off to help it dry more quickly. The kitchen roll usually turns out good too - for backgrounds! It's there for when I start doing backgrounds again.
Just my usual stash of things that are always there in the little cubby holes ready for when I need to use them. One of the canisters/containers must have leaked as I found a 'crusty' little mess on my desk a while ago - still don't know which one it was. The shiny thing behind the two cards is my tin for my Gelli Plate. I didn't even think to move it before I took the photo but when I came to crop them i saw my reflection in it. Good job I got to crop the photo and therefore mostly remove it.
Well, that is it for this week folks. Hope you all had a good week and there is another ahead.
Health Update:
Hate to tempt fate and all that but I really do think the chiropractor is helping. I went out on a 'jaunt' last Thursday and apart from a couple of twinges which we soon sorted out with a bit of massage and a hot water bottle (yes we travel everywhere with a hot water bottle and large flask of hot water) I had a relatively pain free day. Friday was a mixed day, but not as bad as it has been. Then the weekend was much the same as Thursday, this time very little pain both days until early evening but again quickly sorted. Monday was a different story - had another of my awful days spent mainly in the chair with a hot water bottle and the occasional ice pack. Occasional because I needed the hot water bottle most of the time.
Yesterday was an ice/heat/rest kind of day but not as bad as it has been. I expect I will get days where I am in pain but at least I am having some life now and then. Sorry about this folks but I feel a bit like sticking two fingers up to the national health people who told me it could not be cured, that chiropractors and the such like were a waste of money. Glad I believed in the power of prayer and the intervention that He was sending me. Thanks for the prayers folks, means a lot.

Glad the pain is at least being managed a bit and that the chiropractor seems to be helping, long may it last. Love the cards and Tracey's card too which is fab. Helen #??
I am so glad to hear that the chiropractor seems to be doing you good Neet. Long may the improvement continue. Those pop-up cards with the cats are cute. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2

It's so good to hear all the positive thoughts coming your way and the treatment is helping. Make the very best of the good days and lets hope they outnumber the bad ones ASAP.
Hugs,

Wow you have been busy!! I was looking at those Cat stamps the other day - and now I am going to totally steal that pop up idea for a class (hope you don't mind - wink wink) as they are all cat mad. See, I knew I would find justification for buying them if I tried hard enough. Do hope you continue to see some improvement with the chiropracter. Thank you for the email about the pasta cooker, I didn't respond straight away and the message disappeared into my daily avalanche of emails. Should be getting mine today, will let you know how I get on. Happy WOYWW Cindy #15

I'm so glad the chiropractor seems to be helping. They can sometimes work a miracle for those of us in back pain! Hoping you continue to improve!

So glad you're getting some relief from the constant pain, Neet - and I hope it will continue to get better and better with the help of your chiropractor. The colourful cats look so cute on those pop-up cards! It must have been fun colouring them and a good way to spend a sleepless hour. I usually read when I can't sleep - I fear if I get up I won't be able to go back to bed! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa #17
Love those cats, remind me of a trio I picked up in Bali 20 odd years ago. Very sweet. Good to hear you are able to manage the pain and I am a big advocate for physio/chiro as they always have practical suggestions. Hope all continues well for you.

I am so glad to hear that you are having some good days mixed in, praying for more of those and less of the bad. Love the cards, the cats are such fun! Happy WOYWW. Have a lovely week. Love & God Bless, Caro x (#7)
I love Laurel Burch's cats, and I think you've done her proud! Stopping by to say Happy WOYWW! Fonda
That's wonderful that the chiropractor is helping, let's hope that continues - having relatively pain free days must boost your spirits enormously. Love those batik cats cards - we used to have wooden cats that looked exactly like that which I bartered for in Bali!

Hi Neet, things do seem to be getting a little better and I hope it continues. The cats look great now they're in place. Hope you have a lovely creative week and a very happy woyww, Angela x13x
Love the cat cards. Glad you are finally managing your pain, there is more than popping tablets that all doctors seem to dish out these days.
Love those cats and the way they pop up.
Pleased to hear that you are getting some relief from the Chiropractor's manipulations, they are specialists after all.
Have a good week

Continuing to pray for many mercies dear sweet sis, and Neet so agree re those who disagree with alternative therapies, I use natural meds for my bad osteoarthritis, prescription meds caused more issues but now have right natural balance, could give other examples too. God uses many different ways, medical folk are only guessing, as my Dr said it’s educated guesswork but I said Guesswork none the less. They’re right sometimes and not others, I should’ve been dead decades ago but Lord ordered otherwise.
Love your desky shares, I craft in middle of sleepless nights too, so think your pop up cat cards are very cute.
Happy WOYWW. Thanks for sharing, will keep praying each night for you... your day. 😉

Oh so glad you have had a few better days Neet - long may it last! Sending positive vibes and a hug. I love those cheeky cats on the cards. Fab. xx Jo
Love your cat cards. I am sorry to hear you are having a lot of pain.
I really love those colourful cats - pity it required some insomnia to play with them! I'm happy to hear there has been significant progress with relatively pain-free days, though, since I'm catching up backwards, I also know of the blisters to come. So sorry!
