Card making and its healing powers

Some might know that I am on sick leave and healing from all the procedures and aftermaths of Breast cancer. I had the final surgery for the reconstruction at the end of October. I can't do much in the house, cause if I do...I pay for it physically! I am tired lots more than I have ever been in my life (and for those that know me, I have been working since I am 15...single mom of twins for the first 5 years...). I am not used to depending on others, have a hard time with it, but I have no other choice, I am blessed to have a really nice, helpful, understanding and loving partner, Pierre! He must really love me, cause we have been together 12.5 yrs, and we have had to battle Breast cancer twice! I find that it's way harder this time around, and I am really listening to my body, its tired I rest! Not easy, cause on the outside I look fine, where you to see me, you would never know that I am battling the aftermath of Breast cancer, chimo and breast reconstruction (I had a double mastectomy back in August 2014).

So since I can't do much, I go in my studio and craft, cause crafting has many benefits, and for me at the moment, they are healing benefits! The satisfaction of creating a beautiful cards is so rewarding! So last night I crafted till 4 am! and was up at 9am...another side effects is the lack to be able to have a good nights sleep!
