Sunshine in my pocket

Sometimes Things are Falling into Place

October 31, 2019 Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card that is very much perfect for the year I’ve had. I created this card all around the most beautiful sentiment that says: “Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place.”

Wow. What a great way to look at things. Here is the card I created with this sentiment.

I love this sentiment so much. Some of you know, but not many, that I was experiencing lots of pain in my hands and my neck that started last year. And this year, after many tests, x-rays, MRI, and doctors visits I was told by 2 different doctors that I had a life-threatening condition in my neck. It was caused by a chiropractor who cracked my neck in a way that my neck did not like!

I am now in physical therapy and other therapies to help alleviate the pain and get my neck back into the correct position. However, it takes time and there is no quick fix.

I did not mean to make this post about my physical challenges, but this sentiment sure makes me think about what this situation could really mean for my life.

Falling into place….

I love this sentiment together with this stencil. I have a video on using this stencil and how it all came together. Watch it below or on YouTube:

I am grateful for the time I have to craft (even when it’s painful) and for the time I have to learn. I love how creating cards can be so healing and happy for me.

I have put together a list of the products I used on this card, in case you are interested. I use affiliate links when I can, and when you purchase using these links I may receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you). These little bits help me to keep bringing you projects and videos; and they also help to pay for my physical therapy costs. So I THANK YOU very very much if you use any of my links. <3

Thanks for stopping by!

May your days be filled with sunshine,

Beautiful card and you are so right about that sentiment! I’m sorry you are having to live with pain though, as a chronic back pain sufferer I understand how frustrating and draining it is.
I hope your doctors and physios can help you, but in the meantime, there is always crafting ???? lots of love to you, my sweet friend!

Thank you so much, Erica! I am sorry you have chronic back pain…that is the worst. I hope you have found some ways to lessen the pain and cope through it (better than I am with my pain…LOL). I have high hopes that I can get this figured out and hopefully soon NO MORE PAIN! Thanks for your sweet comment.
