First, thanks for all the advice for getting my hands back in shape. I do use Eucerin on them but when they have a crack, I need more than that and will use some Bach's Rescue Cream on the crack and put a band aid over it. Usually it is much better in 1-2 days. The Eucerin just soaks into my hands and I have to keep applying it over and over. This cold Winter weather has really been hard on the skin.
We had lovely weather yesterday and today - starting to warm up. I got out yesterday and cleaned up the patio and brought in all the Winter kitty bedding for a good washing. I could totally live with this weather year round.
This week at One Stitch at a Time, our theme is Use a Digi. I always love doing that one. You can be very creative. Oh, and there is a prize and a sponsor for this week, we have wonderful Prize this week -7 image Prize pack and our Sponsor is our Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card Maggie...I think you've done an awesome job with it...very eye-catching. I'm not a big steampunk fan to be honest but I do love what you've created. The gold cogs you used really make her hair look great too. Wonderful creation. BTW I use GoldBond (extra strength I think) cream on my hands...it will heal cracks in about a day!
