*WOYWW 780: 15 years and counting*

 

Today I am joining the greatest head desker in the world, our beloved Julia at Stamping Ground

IF your blog has embedded comments, I will NOT be able to leave you a comment.  I keep getting "Failed to Publish" on all blogs with embedded comments.  Please be aware, it is blogger and not me.

 As you can see, in the past few years, I may only visit once or twice a year, but Wendy and I will never miss an anniversary.  We haven't missed one yet!


As for the obligatory rocking horse, this tiny pin is attached to WOYWWendy's bodice.

I made exactly two anniversary ATCs, one for Julia and one for my PIF partner.

Please note that I only go shopping once a week because of the pain I'm experiencing.  I have finally realized it is due to lupus, a disorder I was diagnosed with a few years ago.  Therefore, since I must buy stamps in order to send these to their respective recipients, it will be Monday before I mail them.

I'll try to be cryptic...9 AM my time which would be 8AM your time. Does that work?

Always good to see your post. Adorable photos. And I understand, I have been reading about Lupus, since Covid shot, ... I don't do a lot of doctoring, but I've something similar need to make an appointment...had 1 cavity my whole life and after a cleaning I've had issues...yesterday I had 3 teeth removed and on liquids for 2 days and healing process will take more time. I found a hot soaking with Dr Teals epsom salts really helps my other issues We missed all the terrible storms in Iowa but husband has replants for corn and beans planted LOTS of Water 7 inches within 10 days. SO BIG PONDS Wishing you the Best. I peek in when time permits.

Breaking with long-standing tradition to comment even on Google-sign in blogs :D just for the anniversary!

Sorry about the lupus flare. Love seeing your rocking horses each week even if I don't get to say so! Also nice seeing the historic badges. I wonder where mine is? I find it then lose it all over again before the next crop....Oh well!
Happy 15th Anniversary WOYWW!

Who cannot take ibuprofen?
You should use ibuprofen with caution if you're aged 65 or over, breastfeeding, or have: asthma. kidney or liver problems. lupus.

Just thought would let you know. I am not allowed to take it because of a high risk of heart Attack/ stroke.

I wish I could help figure out what the blogger issue is for you 😢 I'm not having any trouble

Julia Dunnit said...

My word Elizabeth, I'm so sorry to hear that the Lupus is causing you such pain, it's a beast. I hope you can find some way to manage it, long term pain is so debilitating. So lovely to see your lovely tidiness and Wendy doing her thing, weighed down by our WOYWW badges! I too will be a slightly slower post person this anniversary..the ATCs are ready but the 'inclusion' is not!

Tracey@Hotchpotchcreations said...

Happy 15th WoywW Elizabeth, always good to see Wendy make an appearance, the wee rocking horse is very cute. I'm sure everyone will have lots of fun and laughter at the crop I hope it isn't the last.
Take time to rest yourself, Lupus is so debilitating sending Hugs Tracey xx

Hello Elizabeth, lovely to see you (and Wendy) though I must apologise for being late to the party. My guest arrived at 10.30 am and did not leave till 4. To say it discombobulated my day would be an understatement! It is very kind that she travels to see me but this week I had other things to do!! Yes I did take a lot to craft club this week. Because I have such a lot of basic kit I keep a bag packed - it was just easier to take the whole bag rather than unpack the thing I needed and forget to put it back so it was rather excessive this week!! I also came home with more than I went - someone is always bringing in donations and I just can't say no!! Sorry to hear you are in pain and finding it restrictive. Sending a gentle hug. I really hope someone picks up the banner for WOYWW. If not I shall just have to make more effeort to keep in touch. Love n hugs Cindyxx #20
