Default crafty

I was VERY crafty before the accident and kind of still am....I used to sew and make my own bath salts and scrubs with essential oils even contemplated my own business with them.......I now do scrapbooking....using a timer of 20 mins then rest and do something else and then come back to it later when I am able to do more again with the timer. My doc asked me to keep timers all over the house so I limit to 20 mins of whatever it is I am doing then go and rest for a while. I do ATC's check out my album....artist trading cards, I make my own greeting cards and do collage and watercolour abstract things.
I love to be creative and have made jewellery as well. it keeps me active and alive it makes me feel WHOLE when I do my artwork. My doc encourages it but with the timing..pacing is a lesson we all must abide by!!!!

take care and happy creativity
love and hugs,
Victoria
