Cherish Every Moment

Hey there!

I was absent from Our Beautiful World yesterday ... The reason being that I got my prompts mixed up - I had my photos and post all ready to go but for the wrong week! By time I realised, it was too late to do anything about it... 
I hate messing up ... Feeling like I let people down ...It happens I guess- especially when you have so many things to remember and chiding myself only makes it worse

So I stepped away ... for a whole day I left my computer alone and took time out to spend with my husband ... I dressed up and we lunched out, visited a few shops and bought a few things for our home and enjoyed a nice evening together. Sometimes I just forget to be kind to myself...


I have these tape patches stuck on parts of my body that are sore and irritated and I sometimes feel like a patchwork doll Lol! This image kind of says it all ... I made it for Pat, one of the many friends who make me smile


...and laughs along with me when I get frustrated and cross with myself


I have got the right post for the challenge at City Crafter tomorrow though ... So I'll see you then

Have a lovely day and be good to yourself

Now that sounds like something I would do. Don't worry my friend. We Love you no matter what.. Your card here is just as cute as can be. My SIL collects those Precious Moments figurines. They are so cute.

Glad to hear you had a nice evening out with your Hubby.

Hugs, Linda

You did well in spoiling yourself a bit, Ros, every now and then you should tickle yourself as we say! Gosh, this image is truly adorable, so so sweet, love your delicate card and I bet Pat gave you a big smile when she saw this! Hugs, Ira x

This sweet image says so much! You are right, be kind to yourself! We all mess up, and our biggest critic is ourselves.

Poor Ros. God must have know you needed a little break. Glad you had a nice day with your hubs. Those little characters you've used are adorable. I'm glad you have a dear friend like Pat to lift you up. Hugs!

You should never be cross with yourself, Ros, you are such a loving and giving person! Hope your patchy spots are better soon! Happy Tuesday, it is cold here tonight!

This is so cute and pretty Ros. Why is it we beat ourselves up over one mishap and never celebrate the gazillion things we got right?? You mustn't be so hard on yourself and good for you for taking a step back - sounds like you had fun.

This is so sweet Ros! May I ask what those little green and yellow gem type things are? They are so pretty.

I completely agree with you, we can be much harder on ourselves than anyone else would be. I'm glad you stepped back and spent some time with hubby. Aside from the patchwork, it sounds like you had a wonderful time! big hugs :)

Greta said...

Sounds like a lovely day--you deserve it, Ros! Life is just too short! Adorable card--I know your friend loves it!

Maria said...

Awww...sorry to hear about the irritation regarding your skin. Frustrating for you I'm sure. I hope things improve for you! Your card is so CUTE! And, love the addition with the gold thread, so pretty!

Don't be too hard on yourself. We all do it from time to time ;). So glad you got away and were refreshed! Love your card so much! It takes me back. My mom had a hutch packed to the brim with these sweet Precious Moments figurines. I never knew why they meant so much to her but loved to look at the collection.

Manuela said...

haha Ros, i wonder me that there was no photo from you, but I had the same problem but i notice that early enough.
Too busy with life at the moment :-))
Have good week!

Manuela said...

oh I forgot, a sweet card! Hope your skin will recover very soon!
