Hello paper crafters! I’m here today to re-share my Chic Candy 197. I posted it last week but it only has 40 comments and I’m thinking you missed it. Also, I need to share where I’ve been and my absence this week.
I was so looking forward to seeing y’all this week and I’m so very sorry I canceled my live video on Tuesday!!! Last week, Dave and I were in Aruba and… we tried something new on this trip – a guided tour on a UTV. Well, that four hour experience was not kind to my body!! The pain didn’t start that day but a few days later and everything hurts on the left side of my body, it hurts to do anything, even typing is extremely painful. And, I can’t sleep because of the pain!! I’m taking ibuprofen every six hours. Pain meds make me sick so I try to only take over the counter meds, but I may have to go to ER if it gets worse.
My chiropractor fit me in yesterday and I have a pinched nerve. She worked on me for an hour and my chest and back isn’t as painful as it was but my left arm and neck hurts non stop. I have tried to work a little but when I do the pain just gets worse. I will do everything I can to go live next Tuesday, Feb. 25th. I’m so sorry I don’t have a cute project to share with you this week!!!
Thank you so much for your patience and kindness! ❤️

I was wondering what happened to you, Angie! I thought maybe the weather was so beautiful there that you decided to stay another week. I’m sorry you’re so sore. I don’t think our bodies like to be jostled about after 40!!
Thanks for offering such scrumptious Chic Candy! Positive thoughts for a quick recovery!
Definitely missed you last Tuesday, hoping you were away and enjoying a much needed rest. So very sorry to hear of all your pain, and just after going through your surgery too. Really hoping to see you on the 25th, but YOU come first. Take care of YOU, everyone will definitely understand. And we’ll always be here for you.
