It is with much sadness that I will be taking a break from crafting and blogging for the next few months. I’ve been having shoulder pain in my right arm for several months which has gradually gotten to the stage where I cannot sleep because of the pain and am unable to function even typing is extremely painful.
After unsuccessful shockwave, and other treatments I have no choice but to undergo surgery. Recovery time is between four and six months but hopefully, I can return to crafting sooner.
I would like to thank my design teammates at Colorful Options, The Flower Challenge, and A Cut Above for their understanding as I will be unable to continue on at least for the foreseeable future.
Wishing you all well and hopefully, I will be back before you know I have gone.
take care
Marie
